Shooting gloves

[olfarhors]

I never wear gloves to shoot.
 reason I live in a fairly mild winter climate area and so don't usually wear gloves even in winter, so I like to practice like I plan to shoot if needed.
I do not really target practice / compete other than for self defense.
if its what you need to get in practice though I can see it.

I have that problem with my Khar cm40. In fact I bought mine with factory included laser sights and had to remove them. I bought a 4" x 6" pocket pistol in 40 cal. I'm an idiot!
Actually I just have fat fingers and I had to take the laser sights off to make room for my little sausages. Even without them, I end up with blisters on my pointer if I fire more than 25 rounds!
Wish there was room for a glove!

It's not a Glock is it?  Those things rubbed my finger bad, too.

I don't use gloves to shoot.  I figure if I really need to shoot the gun I won't have gloves on anyway, so shooting to protect myself would be "different" than shooting the pistol any other time.

And, my dad would grin and say that if you're getting a sore/blister then you need to toughen up by doing whatever it is that makes your finger/hand sore more often.  I can agree with that, when it comes to shooting.

Any chance of modifying the grip so it doesn't rub?  I removed some plastic from the bottom of the trigger guard on the Glock and it helped a little.  The GFA helped some more.  It still doesn't shoot as good as my CZs though.

Not that they are inexpensive but I wear Magpul Flight Gloves.  They fit well, grip well, and fit in a trigger guard well.

I found a pair of fingerless motorcycle gloves at Wally World. They've got a little padding in the palms. I've only used them a couple of times, but they seem to work well so far.

I use a pair of UnderArmor batting gloves.  While they do the job, they are not terribly durable.  The left thumb got a 2-3mm hole in the center after about 3 months.  In addition, I guess some of you might not want to buy UA with the way they treated one of their hunter endorsees recently.

I have/had this problem with many guns. I ended up filing trigger guard a bit to make it more comfortable for the middle finger. I did it for allow frame guns and polymer frame guns. With steel frames it takes more. I did in on CZ 85 and also reshaped beaver tail to make it up-swept and then hard chromed it. Now I don't have this problem - i have callus there.
Shooting with gloves is OK but it makes it harder to reload or clear malfunction. Besides it can be hot. I am wearing gloves during force on force training and know it for a fact.

I have a pair of Filson Shooting gloves I got years ago, of course they don't sell them any more. I think they are the same as the currently available MacWet Climatec gloves. The synthetic fabric is washable and very touch sensitive. I also use Geier Kangaroo Leather gloves that I get through the David Morgan catalog (Geier doesn't sell retail). For cleaning I use 3M Nitrile gloves I get at Lowe's. This is starting to sound like I'm a glove-oholic so I'm not going to tell about the others.
