.223 from a pistol with a brake on it has a bit of a bark too. I made a woman cop drop her gun when I shot my Contender next to her.
The last time I was at the local indoor range, there was no one else in the store, the clerk decided to try out his new pistol.
When he fired it in the next lane over I thought a pipe bomb had gone off.
A .454 Casull with a 2 inch barrel !

(Yes, it was fun, ONCE ! )
