So I was finally able to get my m&p15 sport to the range yesterday. Man that was fun!! Only put about 200 rounds through it, but my pop and I had brought some other stuff we had aquired but hadn't fired yet. I'll admit im a bit of a newbie and have reverted back to having lady hands doing dentistry and not manual laboy any more, but damn, that barrel gets hot! Even the through the plastic forend. I def see the benefit of a nice set of gloves. I made the mistake of grabbing thre barrel about 5 min after the last shot and have some blisters to remind me to never do that again.

just think of it this way... Now your DNA is stuck to the rifle

Branded!

Rifles get pretty hot. Watch some videos of AK's catching on fire on you tube.

I always bring a pair of mechanic gloves, people my look at you funny but you can shoot a lot faster & I tend to put my thumb on the FSP.

Don't sweat it. I went through a war with an M16 fired on full automatic and 30 years later when I bought an AR15 and entered my first action rifle competition, I laid it against my forearm after shooting a stage. I still have the burn mark.

You gave your rifle some skin. Now he will protect yours for as long as you take care of him.

You learn quick lol I always wear my mechanix gloves if not shooting from a rest.

 

Thanks for the reassurances. Ill hit up home depot and pick up some mechanix gloves.

And that's a good thing during the Frozen Nutz matches at SJSC over the winter!

Provides some much needed warmth for the ungloved trigger hand.

 

We'll start up again in November (or December)

Always the 3rd Sunday of the month

 

I'll post the match as we get closer

Mechanix is all I wear at work and home. Best all around glves IMHO.

Ringers makes a nice glove too.

Have to look at them. I always liked Mechanix wear because you can buy them anywhere at a good price.

Unless you wear an XXL, then it's back to mail order. 

You know what they say...lol

I've made that same mistake before. Only happened once though lol.

Working man hands over here! It gets warm. LOL
