I went into the archives and dug up some pictures we took at the range a couple of years ago. This one is a still frame from a video I was taking while Verna was firing her little .45 caliber compact Para Warthog pistol; the picture nicely shows the fiery gas plume that is generated as the pistol discharges the projectile toward the target downrange.
This gun is so small that I have trouble getting a hold on the short grip. It helps if I use the extended magazine where my pinky can get a grip. For a petite gun, it sure exhibits a full-blown plume and report. “Baby Boomer” seemed to be an appropriate designation for this little gun.
