Was looking at shooting gloves and was wondering what the users on this forum recommended. I have been thinking it would be in my best interest to use them at the range. I has also planned on going to Cabalas or Bass Pro this weekend to try them on. Thanks in advance!!!

At the range, when shooting the bad-boys, I use a weight lifting glove with wrist wrap. When shooting the lesser cartilage damaging guns and while hunting, I use Browning shooting gloves. These give a nice tight fit with a sure grip. They are the first shooting gloves that I've found, that has fingers long enough to fit me comfortably. I got them at BassPro Shop for around $45+ dollars....KRal http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/clothing/detail.asp?value=A025&cat_id=307&type_id=012

I can't stand the padded gloves with the half fingers because they make the grip feel so fat and they do nothing to keep my hands warm. I use an insulated leather glove that has thin leather and only a small amount of insulation. I get them at Men's Warehouse. I usually only get one year out of them because I'm pretty hard on gloves. They are great because you loose very little dexterity and I can still pluck a case out of an Encore action.

What I want is a pair of gloves for at the range. I am not as worried about field applications.

I usually wear a pair of deer skin gloves I found at a feed store a couple years ago. I just cut the trigger out them. For the range the Uncle Mike’s shooting gloves are fine. I like the padding on the knuckles, but I’m like Gary, I don’t like the padding in the palm and web area of my hand so I cut that out with an X-Acto knife.

I don't like the padded palms either. They just destroy my grip. I have been toying with a pair of mechanics gloves I bought at Auto Zone. They are tight fitting and the material they are made of is slightly tacky. Good dexterity and they do keep hands worm in cold weather.

Take a look at weight lifting gloves They give really good support to the wrist and pad the palm of your hand

If I have to wear them due to the cold I will use the Goat Skin Work Gloves from the Home Depot. I would rather not have them at all.
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

I have a pair of Uncle Mikes shooting gloves and they are awesome.They are supple enough to give me a good grip with plenty of feeling and when it's cold it sure makes the 450 marlin,375 JDJ 500 S&W feel alot better,takes the nasty trigger guard bite out of the equation also.JMO,Jim

I don't like gloves that much. I have a set of cotton EL Cheepos that are for when it is very cold. A couple of years ago I plucked out the moola for a nice pair. I liked them until I went to take the safety off at first light on a real nice buck and the glove squeeked really loud against my gun. The buck found me immediately, looked right at me with my mouth all dropped open. I had belly crawled about 50-60 yards to get a shot and blew it with a squeek.

The best shooting glove I`ve found is the one offered by S&W and use it at the range. This is because of an injury to my wrist. When hunting I wear the right hand glove by Uncle Mikes and cover that with a split palm mitten that carries a small heat pad to keep my shooting finger warm.When I`am ready to shoot I push my fingers through the split and am ready to fire.I`ve used this set-up for a number of years and it works well for me.

TCMan, I think the best glove for wrist support will be the glove by S&W that James has mentioned or the weight lifting gloves that have been mentioned. I only used the weight lifting while at the range and while shooting the 475 multiple time but, I'm like Gary and a few others, I don't like the feel of the pads, it makes the grip feel big and uncomfortable. On the other hand, (not literally) they do give good wrist support which, is what your looking for...KRal

I don’t have a problem with my hands or wrists, but…
I were hearing protection and glasses for a reason at the range. I also know I am not 6’ and bullet proof. I REALLY enjoy shooting my short guns. I want to make sure that I will for a long time
I use too not like breaks… I have 3 barrels with breaks. If they merit one, so be it.

For the range, I like the Uncle Mike's. When hunting. I keep my hands in one of those "hand muffler" things along with a dry chemical hand warmer. When it gets below zero I'll add the thin brown liners that were issued with the military thinsulate lined leather gloves.

I have a pair of Uncle Mike's half finger gloves for the range and then I have some dark Green wool gloves for cold weather hunting. Light Camo gloves for warm weather.
