I've been shooting the .30 Carbine Blackhawk for years. And yes, if you fire ammo intended for an M1 Carbine with an 18" barrel you'll get a large muzzle flash and loud report. But I reload and I use the same charge I do for my .357: 14-15 gr. of H110.
And guess what? My Blackhawk .30 Carbine and my Blackhawk .357 are pretty much INDISTINGUISHABLE when firing.
I believe the .30 Carbine cartridge really reaches its full potential as a pistol cartridge.
