Jim, what I meant by "day and night" is that they share no common components. Yes, in a general sense, they are both pocket autos, magazine fed, etc. (although the 1922 was designed to be used as a holstered sidearm). But otherwise they are two completely different entities.
To answer your magazine question Official Police, FN 1922 mags are still relatively common and reasonably priced than original Colt mags, and, as I stated, in general, more parts are still available for the 1922.
Personally, if it is a medium size pocket pistol that you want, I would check into a 1910 Browning; It is slightly smaller than the Colt, and has no sharp angular corners, external hammers or sights to snag.
