As someone who used to carry a Zippo in the watch pocket of my jeans and took a long time to get the hang of not overfilling it, I can say that if he doesn't wash thoroughly pretty soon he'll be really easy to ID the next day

Depends on the caliber; PowRBall is light and fast, (and low flash) but that's not something the .45ACP does well. I do carry a speed strip of it in .357 as a low-penetration option to load if I know I'm going to be in a crowded place where a contact-distance shot with anything else from a .357 is certain to overpenetrate.

For a muzzle flash comparison in .357, see http://kd5nrh.blogspot.com/2008/01/more ... flash.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
