French M1935A Pistol

I'm just wondering, if you feed from the mag will regular 7.65mm x 17mm work? Will the extractor grab and hold it? No the rimmed revolver ammo won't work, maybe the firing pin will set it off but it's unlocked.

It will pick up a round, chamber it, extract it, and eject the round, if not fired. Of course, the extractor is the only thing holding the case in place. Probably would fire, but not sure if the strike would pop it off the extractor. Chamber pressure might force the case back under the extractor, but that would probably break it fairly quickly. Cycling would most likely be dodgy at best.
