Welcome aboard! I've had that "love tap" problem at times... PM45, I believe, and always wear a cap with the bill forward and low as possible when shooting. And of course, I use eye-protection, too.
The first time I shot my PM45, March 2010, I didn't realize the marks that were left... powder/oil, but my forehead was peppered with black marks and I left the range for a bit of shopping and didn't see the marks until much later. I just wonder what people thought!
I swapped for a DLC P45 with NS a few years ago and don't remember if it gave me any love taps.
