I shoot hot loads in all my guns, so I can see where some feel that being compensated will ruin your night vision. It probably would IF you get some muzzle flash. It's pretty obvious. But much like your hearing is also going to be affected if you let off a full load inside a darkened house at 3 a.m., you can't expect to be wearing hearing protection when you discharge your firearm. Yes, you can shoot without your hearing and not your eyes, but it's also a fact that most gun fights aren't "O.K. corral" shootouts either.

I will just have to make my first shot count.....

BTW, my 32C shoots VERY good and it's comfortable to shoot even with hot +P loads. It's all about practice and getting used to how the weapon handles. My 32C feels different than my Kimber .45 than my Smith .45 than my .38 snubby than my AR, so therefore it just takes practice to become proficient with whatever you have in your hand at the time.

Another piece of advice: Practice with your carry loads. It does you no good to shoot a 1000 rounds of SWC low power loads at the range only to then fill your magazine with hot +P HP. It will shoot and feel different if you ever have to use it. Yes, now-a-days it is not frugal to spend $50 worth of your "good" ammo down the range at paper, but atleast get familiarized with what your carry load feels like if and when you ever have to use it. Far too often I see people at the range get "surprised" by what a hot load feels like. You don't see baseball players hitting wiffle balls for practice just because it's easier to hit, right? Same applies here.
