Well come to KTOG ,and good shooting. 
First range report from a Newbie
After following this board for several months I got my P3AT a couple of weeks ago.
So far I’ve given it a cursory fluff & buff and added a little orange paint to the front sight. Packer’s mag catch is on the way and most likely a trip to Fuselier plating. The pics are from my second trip to the range. The first five shots and the same target with two more 5 shot strings using Fiocchi FMJ at seven yards. (Thirty rounds the first trip, bigger groups but not terrible.)
This little beast surprised me since I have no experience with this type of shooting. I’m an old paper puncher and did some metallic silhouette shooting several years ago. Recoil is bearable. I had a Model 29 .44 Mag and T/C Contenders (standard and bull barrels) in .30-30 so maybe I’m comparing it to them.
Thanks to all posters for the good tips and advice.
