I have noticed that different guns firing the same ammo in the dark can have varying flash signatures; I have found AA5 to 'flash' more in different guns. Same with HS6, and Power Pistol, and AA9.

But NOT 3N37 or WAP.

Testing in specific launch platform required.

All that said, Power Pistol normally offers a greater flash signature than most other choices. More in 40 S&W, less in 9x19 and 38 Super.
(Still, in the opinion of certain LE-types, usable. Just not preferred.)
