I always say don’t use a defensive weapon you wouldn’t be comfortable employing in a hallway or doorway. But if it works for you that’s what matters.

If you build up and learn to close your eyes and exhale for a 5 count as you deploy any gas assist it isn't so bad. Same as closing one eye to preserve night vision and using low flash rounds. You must train for it however, just because you can afford it doesn't mean you're effective with it. I prefer my LE trade in G19 that cost me $150 to my brothers Springfield 1911@ $2k. My G19 is familiar and I can run it being actively pushed to the floor that's a big plus for a 120lb girl. 

Training training and more training is always the answer.
