I've done very well with thin leather with thinsulate lining in sub-zero temps for moderate periods of time.

They're light enough that they fit well in the not-terribly-roomy trigger guard of a 1911. If all else fails, perhaps investing in a CZ or something similar with a very roomy trigger guard might be in order...

Hatch and others make decent police glove with thinsulate that work well for me .

You know what they say about gloves don't you?

The only thing you can do with gloves on is pee your pants.

I don't wear gloves much never needed to. And yes I live in a cold climate, hell I spend all winter hunting waterfowl out of boat and never but on gloves.

Isotoners always worked well for me. They're thin, insulated, hug really tight to your hand, and keep them really warm in the winter.

I haven't worn gloves in years outside of working, but I can't recall ever having a problem with any of my handguns while I was wearing them. I've had the same pair for about ten years now and they're still in pretty decent condition. I don't know how long they'd last if you gave them regular, everday, winter use though.

There are no good solutions. My experience has shown gloves to be warm and bulky or tactile and freezing.

I have tried them all- ski gloves, mittens, wool and synthetic glove liners, fleece gloves, "shooting gloves" (freezing!), and leather.

Note the liners and fleece gloves are not windproof or waterproof. Putting a disposable latex or nitrile glove on top of them makes them so and improves them considerably.

A quality pair of soft leather gloves (like men's dress gloves) are the best compromise i have found. I can shoot well in them and they are fairly warm. I keep my hands in my pockets if possible. If I will be outside for a long time I will carry thick insulated ski gloves too.

There is nothing like cold pistol steel against warm belly skin! Ahhh winter!

First get a pair of gloves that slide off your hands quickly with no hang ups and I mean not to tight or do not get the gloves that have the velcro strap around the wrist, these are a no no. Get a glove that pulls off from the finger tips easy and smooth. There are plenty out there. If there is a subject approaching you keep your hands at the interview position and with your support hand get a good grip on the finger tips of the shooting hand, actually go ahead and get a start on pulling the glove off. If need to you can quickly go for you weapon in the normal smooth motion and you will pull the glove off.

Otherwise keep a small weapon in the coat pocket

or get some hand warmers and dont wear gloves.

I think we did this last year as well. I wear these Under Armour ColdGear gloves. They are available at all major sporting goods stores and are thin and warm.

Weapons handling and manipulation is not a problem, I can run my J frame with reloads fro the pocket with them on.

I was checking out how my winter attire might require a different gun-handling method but really, how does the color of a T-shirt make a difference? That's San Diego for you...

What's really funny is to see visitors wearing their jackets with shorts and sandals or flip-flops, no socks even. So if it's warm enough so your toes don't get cold, why would you wear a jacket? I guess because it's November, they think they're supposed to wear some winter stuff.

(Sorry, but with all the anti-gun crud that we have to put up with, getting a dig in for our weather advantage is irresistible.)

I know a lot of women that wear gloves...lol j/k

Like someone already said. Practice, practice, practice.

Check with police supply stores.

How are you carrying your pistol? Is it below your winter coat? Do you have a plan to quickly access it under that coat?
