Ok, so yesterday I was at a local store/range buying a Ruger 10/22. A man comes out of the shooting range complaining that his gun is really beating up his hand. I didn't see the weapon, but he said it's a .45acp revolver that's "little and light". I look at his hand, it's bloody on the web of his thumb/index finger and also on the first pad of the index finger (the part that contacts the frame, I guess). He's even wearing a shooting glove and the gun is doing that much damage to his hand.
Any idea what may have caused it? I had two guesses, either he's limp-wristing (limp-handing?) the gun so badly that it's sliding around in his hand and chewing up the skin, or his hands are so big compared to the "small and light" gun that he's covering the cylinder enough to get powder burns.
To be dreadfully honest he kinda made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up so I didn't pry too much or ask to see the gun, I'm just curious as to what may have beat his hand up so bad.
