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.

The action would't gum up, not with so few shots. But the acuracy must have gone out the window after the third shot, if not earlier.
