One old my bosses ordered some Cs in 9 and 45. I carried a 17C for a number of years. I never saw sparks like that. There was solid flash from the ports but it never interfered with sighting. I never had any issues with retention but I liked to twist my wrist so the ports were angled from me when I shot.

@JCN ammo used?
Taking a break from social media.
I only have a comp on one gun and not in a rush to buy a bunch more. That said, when you load up 9mm hot enough to actually run the compensator, it makes a pretty noticeable difference. Feels like the gun almost returns automatically to index.
This, it is hard for those who have not shot one to understand it. Once they do you get to see that smile come out when they are done. When I first qualified with mine the RangeMaster thought it was a gimmick, then he shot it. He could not believe how much it reduced the muzzle climb.
I’d be more worried about the ammo being used. Here are a couple of mine in action. A G20C and a G32C.
The flash is so quick you can only get 1 full frame when videoing at 240fps. That’s .0041 seconds. Not blinding as some would lead you to believe. The G32C is shooting Factory Gold Dot ammo which has some flash suppression. The G20C is hand loaded with powder known to produce a flash.
I remember being rather impressed by the flash from a Glock 18 at full auto, but it's a very fleeting experience, even with a 30 rnd mag.
