Need help deciding between gloves for shooting.

[PewPewPew]

I'm in the market for gloves to use while shooting and I hear good and some bad reviews for the following gloves that I'm interested in:

&

My main concern is that the bad reviews for both of these gloves say that they're not as durable as they're advertised. Which I find kind of odd since these are supposed to be "military grade". Can somebody clear this up for me?

Thanks in advance!

I never recommend buying gloves without trying them on first. Everyone's hands are different, so what works for someone else may not work for you.

The most important factor is fit. It doesn't matter how durable a glove is if it doesn't fit. You may have a thin hand with long fingers. The reviewers may have fat hands with short fingers. That's why it's best to try them on before buying.

Shooting gloves should fit tightly for the best dexterity. You need to be able to feel what you're doing through the gloves. That's why shooting gloves typically use very thin leather - for feel and dexterity. But that thin leather also wears much quicker than thick leather. It's a catch 22.

If you've never shot with gloves before, I would recommend buying some inexpensive work gloves at Home Despot, Harbor Fright, Wally World, or Blowes. It shouldn't cost you more than $10 or $15. Make sure they fit snugly and the fingers are the right length. After shooting with them for awhile you'll begin to figure out what you like and don't like. After figuring out your preferences, you'll be able to choose a nice expensive pair of shooting gloves with a much better knowledge of what you're looking for in a glove.

Good luck.

You may also want to drop into Big 5/K-Mart, etc and try on baseball/bicycle gloves

I would go for the most stylish, aka cutest.

I use Nomex flight gloves, I learned about them from my brother who's a USAF pilot.

They're very comfortable, breathable, and tough but they also are thin enough that you can still feel through them easily. Plus they're cheep- less than $10 for no-name brands, and up to $40 for the expensive brands.

I have used a set of the cheap ones for a few years of paintball, and they're still in good condition.
