Close, but not quite, Danke. Most Umarex pistols work on exactly the principal that you described. However, there are a few exceptions.

The Walther PPK/S and Beretta Px4 Storm referred to in this post are both totally GBB. The PPK feeds the BBS (doesn't fire pellets, BBs only) through a small stick magazine that inserts into the grip. You have to pull back the slide to load the first round, just like the real thing. And upon emptying your mag, the slide stays locked back, again, like the real deal. The Umarex Walther P99 Compact works the same way.

The Px4 Storm pistol is a bit of an oddball. It fires both pellets and BBs. While it's full GBB (and has a kick like a mule), it loads these really odd magazines. The mags are a stick type with an 8-round rotary clip on each end. You fire 8 shots, eject the mag, and insert the other end back into the gun to fire another 8 shots. It's not required to jack the slide back to fire the first shot, and emptying the magazine does not lock the slide back. The slide really is there more for show and to give the gun some recoil. And to that end, it works well. Although I'd prefer to have my slide lock back when the magazine is empty. That's my only 'strike' against this gun.

The other Umarex Walther and Beretta models work exactly on the principal that you described. They are not GBB and take 8-shot rotary clips.
