The Wyatt conversion is not a single shot, it is semi-auto repeater. The big difference in a Wyatt conversion, other than the caliber, is the fact that it has a "fixed" magazine. The entire magazine well in the Luger grip is used for the magazine. The base of the grip is attached to the grip frame with the magazine spring and follower riding inside the grip frame itself. There is a slot in the right grip that permits a short rod to be inserted into the follower so that it may be pulled down for loading, much like using a Luger "tool" to load a regular magazine. The Wyatt Luger is loaded with the toggle open and locked by the hold-open device. Rounds are inserted through the open receiver into the grip/magazine, just like other fixed magazine weapons are loaded with a stripper clip. When the toggle is released the Wyatt Luger functions just like its smaller caliber "parent".
