At the range, the percussion blast from the muzzle would tear down my target and those in the adjacent two lanes if they were too close. I can't fathom firing it from a vehicle or in a small enclosed room. Even with hollow points that bullet is going to kill anything behind your target, too. I kept mine loaded with Corbon DPX in 45 Colt - it has impressive specs that are probably right at the border of being safe for CC.
I've fired mine outside w/o ear protection and didn't find it any worse than other magnums. If the muzzle charge was destroying your targets, you were too close to it. I've shot several brands in mine and I've never experienced that. Which I usually don't practice under 7 yards either.

Just saw this, pics were taken at our farm and I carried it there.

that was 3-4 years ago. She's come a long way since then and logged some training.

And she now carries a p7 or g19

Yeah, I didn't care for mine either. It's too short. I also tried one of the Sig 1911s in commander length with the officer grip but it didn't balance well to me.

Agreed. Way too snappy, and no it wasn't a training issue. If I ever go back to 1911s it'll be commander at minimum. Funds permitting, an Ed Brown Kobra Carry

I have the Pro Carry and absolutely love it. It has a much more balanced feel.
