How feminine of you.

 

For regular shooting I do not wear gloves. For Bird hunting I wear leather work gloves to keep the thorns out. When I had to use gloves for anything a simple pair of Nomex flight gloves worked well.

I have a pair of no-name work gloves I got at home depot for $11. They cushion my finger from AK trigger slap and stop me from accidentally burning my hands now and then, assuming I remembered to bring them with me in the first place.

 

Also, my understanding is that the primary mechanisms of lead exposure, with respect to shooting, are via touching contaminated range soil and inhaling airborne particles entrained in the expelled propellent gases. Secondary transmission to your infant will be very minimal, if it even occurs at all. As an anecdote, I shoot every 2 - 3 weeks. I need to get my blood lead levels checked regularly as part of my job. My test in November showed 3 micrograms/deciliter. As a comparison, average blood lead levels (according to the CDC) for the US children in the late 70s were 15 micrograms/deciliter, before unleaded fuels became the standard. It was not unusual for highway workers, state police, and mechanics to have levels as high as 70 micrograms/deciliter, and this was still considered safe. This was probably more info than you cared to have but I'm just trying to reassure you.

I have yet to wear them but I do have a pair of these in my range bag.

i use them for clays and have no problems operating safety with thumb.

I wear this http://www.creedmoor...gger_Glove.html trigger-hand glove when shooting hi-power competition.

I've tried it for handgun shooting also, and really like it.

On sale at the moment, too!

+1 for Hatch when it's colder out. In a pinch, Mechanix gloves aren't bad (and you can usually find 'em locally pretty easily).

 

I prefer the Hatch... better dexterity, though much shorter life. I like the NS430 Specialist gloves, but the synthetic palm doesn't hold up to real abuse. I'm going to try the "Elite Winter Specialist" or the Special Warfare gloves see if they last any longer, different palm materials.

If it's cold enough that i need gloves to shoot, I'd go to an indoor range. shooting is supposed to be fun. where's the fun when it's bitter cold? unless I get to shoot something completely illegal in NJ, i'll be indoors.

Latex gloves. No prints for the evil government to tie me to the gun.

 

Just kidding. I wear mechanix gloves often but not all the time.

I wear under Armour gloves all the time. If its under 35 out my hands start to hurt if i'm out side too long. Some guys i work with dont wear gloves and there hands turn a bright red... no tanks! lol. There on the steep side in price but damn are they worth it. I see they have tactical gloves.... my local store doesnt carry those, would be nice to see how they fit.

I picked these up recently:

I've used them a couple of times so far and have had no problems with them.
