Evil Dog Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Was just over to the Smith & Wesson factory website and noted a real spiffy looking shooting glove... S&W logo and such. Comes in right hand only, guess it is a good thing that I am not left handed. Just wondering how many of you actually use a shooting glove.... or would I be better off saving my eleven dollars and change (plus shipping)?

Viggen Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 In the practical world the only revo guys that find gloves useful are lefties - keeps their thumb from burning on the reload. The nifty S&W gloves are likely for the hand-cannon/ I want arthritus crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrmn1 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 The only time I use a glove is when I shoot full power hunting loads from my Freedom Arms 454. Or my SSK 444 Marlin Contender. Which ain't very often. And then I don't use a shooting glove but a heavy leather work glove. Not to pad my hand really but to keep sharp edges and such from cutting into me. That said my glove has blood stains on the inside so it don't help a lot.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 If I was going to wear a glove shooting revolver I would wear it on my left hand (right handed). Then you would have some protection from a hot gun during a reload and if you have a sticky moonclip where you really have to hit the ejector rod real hard. I have a few scares in my left palm from ejector rods. I am still not smart enough to wear a glove on my left hand, just dosen't feel right.

Neomet Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Everytime I wear a glove (yes it does cut down on thumb burns on long stages) I find myself irresistably compelled to moonwalk between target arrays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model19 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I scorched my left hand (I'm a rightie) pretty good a week ago after doing a bunch of reload drills. That forcing cone gets freakin' hot in short order. I'm going to wear a Blackhawk nomex air-force style glove on that hand this week at practice to see how that feels. If it does not make me clumsy I'll stick with it despite the abuse I'll take from the other guys. Now they'll get their chance to pay me back for the ribbing I give them when their bottomfeeders malfunction in mid string.
