Friday i got a brainfart and thought of loading some 45 ACP with black powder.
16grains of 4f and a 230gr plated bullet.

Dusted off my trusty Kongsberg Colt from 1921 to empty the rounds with.
Well guess what, they worked like a charm and racked the slide enough for it to stay open after last round.

And man can it produce a cloud of thick smoke in a jiffy with 8 fast rounds :-)
Only drawback is that it is a smoothbore after the first 8 rounds, anyone who knows John Moses design will know that the rifling is shallow in a 1911.
Because the barrel and slide is locked up until after the bullet exits, the action didnt gunk up like i expected.
