I was wondering if anyone was using HSLD 5.11 or Blackhawk, etc. I really would like to try before I buy though, hard to do on the 'net. Oh, we're supposed to be fighting our way out of the city. No wonder I was having issues.

All to many make the hands colder than no gloves. Personal preference are the old style army leather gloves with wool inserts. They are hard on manual dexterity and not as water proof as some of the newer types, but they for sure keep your hands warm, even if wet, mainly due to the wool inserts. Romeo November four niner

Shoot, Keep warm, Keep Dry, Protect your hands? See what I am getting at. You will be hard pressed to find a pair that does everything that you want to do really well as with most kit there is some give and take. I wear different gloves for differnt activities. For general "Tactical" ( I so hate that term) use i.e shooting, climbing, or punching savages I wear the ones made by Oakley they are pretty expencive about 65.00 but give a good ballence of protection and dexterity. They are made of Nomax and Leather with a carbon fiber knuckle guard. Abit lower down the price chain is the standard issue Flight gloves also made of Nomax and Leather they are not as durable as the Oakleys but offer fair protection and very good dexterity...Hope that helps.

My rifle's barrel and upper handguard get got in rapid fire in a hurry, and especially on a warm day; so, they're not for show, but of a necessity. I certainly don't need them for Appleseed shooting, but for engaging multiple targets, ouch, don't touch that rail mount or barrel. One thing about Hatch gloves, is that they run big. I thought I had largish hands, and bought gloves based not on my perception, but their sizing. I'm glad I did. My hands are about exactly nine inches around. Most companies call that a "large". Hatch calls that a "medium"; so, I ordered the mediums. I'm glad I did. They're snug, on the tight side, but allow for great "touch" and dexterity. I gave them a hard workout at my last rifle class, and they are awesome. Highly recommended. A Rifleman, but not a sheepdog. Sheep can be controlled by the sheepdog for the same reason they fear the wolf - they are both predators. The same relationships hold with the general population, the police, and the criminals. Most people are sheep, but you don't have to be. If you have the skills and attitude of a predator the criminals will leave you alone- because they will recognize you as a predator and there is easier game available.

IE, safety, mag change, charging handle and so on. Number two is protection. If you should stumble or have to put your hand down when going pron or when maneuvering over or under or around obstacles the last thing you want to do is puncture your hand or bang and scrape your knuckles. I have found the General Mechanic gloves that you can get at Harbor Fright stores for about $8.00 a pair work great, and they last forever. they are snug fitting and perform well with my above criteria. And yes always try them on before buying. -Longbow

Took me a few minutes to realize what in the world you where talking about. That darn spell checker should know what I'm thinking and correct for that as well.

Tames recoil, prevents hammer bite, and leaves the fingers free for dexterity. For motorcycling, I paid $70 for a pair of Joe Rocket GSX-R armored riding gloves. I just tried them with a variety of guns - works well for any rifle/shotgun, works with many pistols/revolvers, but I must take more care putting the trigger finger through the tighter handgun triggergurad. Not good for cold weather - the leather is ventilated and thin. They protected my hands well on a recent lowside on pavement - ouch! Lot of scratches on the palm of the glove - NOT on my hand! Good winter gloves don't work for shooting. Too bulky. Might work with some rifles, if they have larger TG's. On one ride a couple years back, I found the adage "Cotton Kills!" to be very true. Took a long ride in January (our local Dual-Sport Meet), and it had rained the day before, I had been wearing cotton inserts in leather work glove shells. BIG MISTAKE!! They had gotten soaked through. It was down in the low forties, and the wind was freezing my fingers! lucky the ride leader had a spare pair of Polarfleece gauntlet gloves, that were a size too small for him. They fit me perfectly! I bought them from him right then! I still use them in the winter. "Accuracy costs money - how small can you afford to go?"
