a frame having an attached depending hand grip at a rear end thereof;
a barrel defining a bore and chamber at a rear end of said barrel configured to receive a cartridge; said barrel normally

positioning said chamber away from said breech surface and to one side of said frame;
a cartridge magazine attached to said frame having a cavity in which a stack of cartridges may be held; an opening slot at
the top of said magazine exposing an uppermost cartridge so as to enable manual pushing of said uppermost cartridge out of
said magazine cavity; and
