Gloves for Shooting
Anyone have any suggestions for a good pair of gloves to wear when shooting. I can see where in certain situations, they would be a worthwhile piece of protective equipment like knee and elbow pads. Have checked around, and can't make a decision. Think I would like something with DuPont Nomex with maybe leather in the palm.
Your input would be greatly appreciated.

I use an old pair of flight gloves because they're KISS and I wouldn't have any heartache if I lost'em.

I used to have a pair of Tac-AK gloves by 5.11 They we're comfy and the stitching for the fingers was on the back side of the digit rather than the finger tip which was nice. Just make sure you size right if you try them out. I bought a large which fit perfectly in the fingers but was a tad short in the thumb.
I've seen other highly recommend Mechanix gloves because they are KISS, and you wont get butt hurt if you lose them or break them.
I'll be trying a set next time around, and if they fail to satisfy I'll be going back to (a properly fitted) set of 5.11s.

The only time I usually wear gloves is at a class or when I'm shooting my AK a lot.
I am a fan of the $12 Mechanix FastFits..
Cheap, No padding in the Palm, and I can feel controls and details still..

I use the Oakley SI assault gloves, they are pretty good the only thing I don't care for is a glove over my thumb or trigger finger on my right hand so I cut the tip off.
I found out the hard way while reloading my Benelli and getting the glove caught, good thing it was while screwing around at the range as opposed to doing something important. Also I "slap" the trigger on my handguns more than the average person and it was very evident with gloves on that I didn't have any feeling, there's nothing wrong with going the cheap route hitting up the range to make sure you like wearing gloves and then spending a little more on something a little nicer.-BC

USGI flight gloves. Gloves are relatively important to me, but I've yet to find a commercial alternative that offers the same combination of dexterity, simplicity and -- if you'll pardon the expression -- bang for the buck.

I use a pair of Fox Cycle gloves - nothing fancy with any hard knuckles or anything. They are stylish, offer temporary/limited protectection from MRSA infected souls, and they are inexpensive. They have good grip and good feel to them, and I can easily manipulate all of my weapons.

I've used the flight gloves for a long time. I started using some Mechanix gloves from Lowe's over the past few months. They are heavier than the standard model, and have some padding and rubber strips on the knuckles. They are great gloves, although I'm not crazy about the padding on the palm.
I've been thinking about trying some of the Nike Pro gloves as well.

There's a million types out there, all filling different needs. In the middle east, or other "hot" spots around the globe, nomex, kevlar, or any other fire retardant material is a must to protect your hands from burns, wether it be a overheated barrel or IED blast. I have used several brands, WileyX, Hatch, (both of which fell apart on me)etc. But like many others have stated, the ole' USGI flight or CVC gloves are the way to go.
