I've fired Remington .357 Magnum 125 Grain SJHP's at night, and three rounds from inside a car years ago.
The "flash" is over-rated IMHO. If you know it's coming you can be prepared for the BANG, and the "flash". I've not had any problems seeing my sights or targets using that load during Night Shoots, and it's one of the more "spectacular" rounds out there. As far as Porting or Compensators, not that big of an issue. For practice I would just wear a cover garment and "tilt" the gun to the side a bit, which I do anyways when firing from Retention. I can assue you, if you ever need to use the gun for real, powder burns from Porting will be the least of your worries. I don't really see the need for a Ported or Compensated 9mm, as there's not much recoil generated by that round anyways. If you were shooting a .357 Magnum or a 44 Magnum, then I could understand it. To each their own I guess. Take care and stay safe. Biker

You need to add a "None of the above" choice. Don't have the box, but I'm sure I'm using Federal ammo.

Another vote for Federal HST. My XD 9sc is loaded with HST 147's. Outstanding ballistics. Maybe not the best, but every LE test I have seen rates it #1.
