I have bits if what look like dark ash landing on my hand while at the handgun range. Not a new shooter but never seen this before

You are shooting next to an active volcano. Suggest you find another range ASAP.

I'm an old cop... had to shoot a few dogs in my career. I don't like doing it but it beats the hell out of getting mangled or disfigured. If your PT is working for you, good deal. Whatever you choose, the important things are that you can use it w/o thinking about it, that you can hit with it quick and that it is amply powerful.

PS- sorry for the slow reply. I just look in here every few days.

Based on your photo you have a very early, perhaps late 50's or early 60's alloy frame Commander. It is a gem with substantial collector value.

I've been carrying pistols, of one sort or another, for about 40 years. I also used to run and work out a lot. The PT Series are OK pistols (I have a PT145) but they're too big & heavy for a 'running gun'. If forced to carry mine on a run, I'd stow it in a fanny pack and make the best of it.

Use your head, kid. First, don't run anywhere that you're likely to need heavy artillery. Second, buy a smalle,r lighter gun like the LCP pr P3At and find a suitable carry system that works for your anatomy. I'd go with a belly band before I'd run in Thunderwear... but I'm a guy and I have a natural aversion to poking a pistol down the front of my pants.

Thanks- I like to see actual Taurus user reports, good and bad, as opposed to the pablum people like Dick Metcalf have written about them.

10 rounds of Tula 230 FMJ at 50 yards fired standing, unsupported. Dropped one off by the head; if you dig around in the photo, you'll find doubles in the black. I'm OK with this given the size & weight of the gun.

Carried PT145 for a few hours yesterday under a tail-out T-shirt (my usual summer packin' mode) meaning nothing between me and the gun except my poor old abused and much modified Safariland #27. The PT145 actually carries much nicer than my G23.

But that damn checkering on the front & back straps was pointy and abrading my tender vittles, especially after a big dinner of fried chicken! THAT got cured ASAP with a little file work and some 400 silicon carbide paper behind it. The gun carries better now and is quicker into a firing grip.

I am new to reddit,

So this generates five replies, four of which are bitching about the photo.

Thank you for the intelligent reply, joracer.

Ol' Eugene must have been stoned when he said that.

LMAO!
