I use a pair of Elk-skin leather gloves. I can find them at a store that sells them in the hand size such as say 8,8 1/2, 9, 10, 11 etc etc. None of the small lrg Xlrg These gloves fit my hands well, and proper, and so far I never cut a finger off.
Season the Gloves with Boos It has some beeswax in it and some Mineral oil. Little goes a long way. Also its best to heat It in the microwave in a bowl you can throw away. Use a small piece of cloth to apply, or you can use straight from the tube but not as effective.
The best thing I have found for knuckle busting is to have Jack Huntington do his work on the grip frame of a Ruger SA. Ruger SRHs need nothing as also a BFR Bisley needs nothing.
