If 'flash' is muzzle flash, http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m.../ai_n27380935/ .

Vihtavuori N350 offers the lowest flash of any powder I've (yet) tested in 45 ACP (and I've tested many

).

also, making sure the powder isn't burning past the muzzle will help. In your case, maybe even a bit short of the muzzle so that it's not burning @ the ports

The OP isn't talking about a solid-breach handgun here. The revolver's cylinder gap flash is the most bothersome and dazzling to the shooter in low light. Since this happens at near-peak pressure the powder will still be burning fully, no way around it. The gap flash is also quite visible to the target, although the muzzle flash is usually brighter from that vantage point....

Have a look at VV N-110 I use it in 357 and 44 mag for that very reason.It gives near top velocities also.It will burn clean as well.
