Gloves while shooting?

[MultiCaliber]

Who wears gloves while shooting? If you do, what kind? Why? Do you know of any that provide good hand protection while preserving awesome dexterity?

Sorry if someone finds this lame or if it has been done before. I haven't seen it recently and I'm kinda bored. :P

I picked up a pair of under armor gloves from the outlet for like $15. They have the silicone honeycomb pattern on them helping with grip. I like em.

I would only use them for hard kicking revolvers unless you have girly hands and want to keep them smooth and not chip a nail.

Didn't California just pass Measure B in the last election, requiring people wear a glove when they shoot?

Ribbed seem to work rather well, helping to give extra grip on the slide.

I wear them if I'm going to be shooting for extended periods of time or if it's super cold, if not I just grip onto the bare rail.

Mechanix cut off the trigger finger on the gloves. Easiest and cheap.

For some reason, I've never liked shooting with gloves on. I seem to lose the feel for the gun. When working patrol, I avoided wearing gloves unless it was extremely cold, and then I only wore thin leather ones.

Some guys like it, but not me.

But I only wear 'em when it's cold or if the handguard gets too hot.

Home Depot Pro grips, thin and tight up against hand, thus excellent dexterity. If i'm bench shooting no gloves. Doing run, gun and drills (crawling, climbing, prone etc. is very hard on the hands) Another reason why, quick manipulation of an AK can quickly wear out my hands.

Wearing a glove is up to you. depending on what you plan to do.

I wear heavy padded sailing gloves for some of the real monsters.

My model 357(alloy 41 Mag.) tears up regular shooting gloves pretty quickly.

If something is gonna get shredded I'd rather it be something that I can take off.

Awesome dexterity goes away after about a dozen rounds of 500 or 460.
