With that short barrel, traditional .223 off the shelf ammo will only be able to put part of the powder charge towards pushing the bullet. The powder that hasn't yet burned by the time the bullet leaves the muzzle will just make the report very loud. I'll bet that pistol has one hell of a muzzle flash at night!
If you are into loading your own, try a faster burn rate powder such as IMR 4198 or its Hodgdon cousin H4198 to see if the muzzle blast calms down some for you.
