If you've never heard a pistol length gun that fires a rifle cartridge, you've never heard a loud handgun. The uber-magnum revolver cartridges that run near rifle pressures are probably the exception to that.
My 15" Encore Pro Hunter in 7mm-08 is positively deafening. It's absolutely a double ear protection gun and you DO NOT want to be close to anything resembling a wall when you shoot it.
In terms of traditional handguns, my 3.46" 357sig never fails to get "What the HELL are you shooting down there, son?!" at the indoor range.
