I will chime in on two points. First is mouse guns. I have small hands so I get a good grip on everything except my baby browning. I consider them as get away pistols, not fighting guns. Second, Although I have zero personal experience with magnums in the dark I have read shooting reports from back when the highway patrol used 357 mag almost exclusively nationwide. Most reported they didn't see a flash nor hear the bang. Physiology  experts relate it to the tunnel vision and audio suppression we get in fight or flight mode. If you've ever had the experience you know you ears stop up like you've driven up a mountain. It's hard to train out of but most will blink as the round goes off anyway. I have only read one report of someone being blinded and deafened firing a 357 at night. That was a (foolish) warning shot as the trespassers ran away.

OK 3 points. I am really trying to embrace the poly framed pistol. it's fine with the pocket pistols but with a full sized slide it's out of balance. I really want to carry my double stack PT845 but it doesn't feel as good as my 1911. I also want the option of DA/SA with cocked and locked or decock option. I have a PT945 but it has 8 round mags. 

Good point on the sensory issue.  My experience was not a gun battle, but shooting at a deer.  While I can say that many times I never felt the recoil or was bothered by the noise in the past, when shooting at game, for some reason this time my senses where incapacitated.  Adrenaline probably has some thing to do with that.

A few months ago, my g/f and I went to Sumner Gun & Supply in Gallatin to shoot my Sig SP2022. It's been a while since I last shot it in Denver at a range, and many years after special forces in the UK. It was fun.

A few weeks later, she decided to buy an FN 509C
