Here in Minnesota you better learn to shoot with gloves on or your fingers will be frozen to the trigger. I have a pair I bought from Cabela's that work well. Not made for sub-zero weather but if I don't expose my hand for too long I works fine. In the summer heat sometimes at the range I wear fingerless gloves simply because my hands sweat and the gun tends to turn in my hand as a result. They are nothing special, leather and slightly padded in the palm. In the middle during early hunting season I were a very thin pair that are great for shooting. Several of the sights linked above have gloves that are very close to what I have and look like any of them will do. I don't think I will forget how my gun feels by wearing either pair. Besides, with frozen fingers I wouldn't be able to shoot accurately anyway.

If your going to use them for shooting, I'd skip neopreme.

UPer - most of the options are only neoprene on the outside, the palm usually has a more tacky type material. The Hatch ones I ordered have kangaroo leather. But, why do you recommend against full neoprene?

The neoprene will degrade and tear through. Additionally, it does not breathe and I find them uncomfortable. I'm kind of old school and just use the nomex flight gloves. You can get them just about anywhere and they usually run about $25. They breathe have nice thin leather grasping surfaces.

I use the Smith & Wesson glove on my shooting hand when I am shooting the really HEAVY loads in my .44 mag but that is all. It helps my wrist when I am shooting for an extended time with the heavy weights. That is why I like the S&W glove, what it does for my wrist.

Personally, I'd like to get some thinner winter type gloves. The only time I wear gloves is winter, and I don't have any really suitable for shooting. My gloves work, but they're not great for shooting. If I ever needed to draw my weapon while walking to my car in freezing weather, it would be a lot easier with gloves made with shooting in mind.

I occasionally use disposable latex 'exam' gloves while shooting.
![]() They keep your hands clean/warm and don't get in the way very much. I guess they're more useful for cleaning guns. |

I don't know if any of the ones they have will work, but you might look at Duluth Trading. You can rely on their products to be first rate.

I have been thinking about a pair of gloves that I can wear in cold weather that would lend themselves to shooting. Driving a truck with no heat in the winter leads to cold fingers (among other things).
