Shooting gloves when using .357 mag.

[AragornElessar86]

I use an old pair of Uncle Mike's gloves I got a Turner's like 8 years ago. They don't even make gloves anymore. However, they're kinda similar to this pair from Browning:

Honestly, two suggestions.

#1, Be a man. After 7-10 range sessions, a callous(sp?) will build up and you'll be GTG. As long as there is no blood, there's no problem.

#2, Try new grips. You'd be surprised what different grips can do. When I replaced the grips on my BFR, I took an INSTANT dislike to them. Uncomfy, and "put my fingers in the wrong place". But group sizes shrank up like crazy. So I lived with it and stuck with it. Now I can never go back to the old grips. These are superior.

FYI I shoot 460S&W from an uncompensated revolver and never use gloves.

Im going with option 1!!!

Can anyone recommend some gloves? Every time I take my .357 mag to the range, I end up getting a blister on my right hand

Most of the better shooting gloves have been discontinued so you'll have to look around a bit. If you have big hands you may want to try Hatch Reactors or perhaps some bicycle gloves or even some weight lifter gloves but if you have smaller hands or stubby fingers you may find a lot of them too bulky and that they effect your grip. I rarely wear gloves but if I do I don't want anything covering my trigger finger and go fingerless. You may also want to try practicing with lighter loads (38spl) or buying soft grips or both.

Way to welcome a newbie, ya just gotta love the "I'm manlier than thou" reply.

It reminds me of the saying that "there are no stupid questions just...." You have no idea why the OP wants to use gloves but instead of a polite well reasoned response you publicly attack his manhood. Let me help you with that, some are just starting out and avoiding flinch, some hate recoil, some have physical limitations from age or injury.

Bring one of these and place on the spot that usually gets the booboo:


357 doesn't really kick that much unless you're shooting it from a snubbie. The bad guys aren't going to wait for you to put on your gloves

If gloves get someone to actually practice more then they're a good thing. If you're frightened enough to start shooting bad guys you probably won't even notice that you aren't wearing gloves.

A lot of people just go with Mechanix gloves in a tacticool color, does the job without being bulky.

This ^^^ I go with "stealth" (black on black) or camo colored. You can also get the new vented version if you want a thinner glove that breaths. Vented is good for driving or backpacking in warmer weather.

Oakley Pilot Gloves!

I tried baseball batting glove once, not bad at all.

^^ this. I wore batting gloves as a LEO and had them on when I got involved in a shooting. I'm still here.

Just a thought.... I personally like to practice as the way I would be if I found myself in a self defense situation. I don't run around wearing gloves, and so I don't practice with them.

Flame on!!!!

I second the hogue rubber grip recommendation.

Replace your grips, or build up a callous.

Thanks for the suggestions

Nobody asked what the gun was. If it's an S&W lightweight snubby, physics is against you. Semi-hot round in a very low weight gun.

That said, I have a 44mag Ruger Blackhawk that was making my trigger finger bleed every shot. Not very polular at the range I'll tell you.

So I got some Hogues and the problem went away. The small 'dragoon' grip just was not enough to control the recoil...

So, I guess I agree that if you need gloves because of blisters then the gun is not for you. (And I doubt it would be for me either).
