How do you guys deal with sweaty hands on the range? It really compromises my grip on handguns, textured grips don't help much either. It's even worse in the summer months.
I’m fortunate in that my hands don’t sweat.
If they did I’d keep a hand towel nearby and wipe down between strings of fire.
I’d maybe try a little talcum powder or baby powder. Maybe that’d just become a mess though.
And you’ll smell pretty.
You can tell people the baby powder smell is from strippers.
I suppose a towel would work, I never considered it because it just seems a little odd. But I suppose my constant hand wiping on my shirt was also odd. I won't try baby powder just because I don't want it getting in the checkering and trapping moisture.Some people use lightweight shooting gloves, toss a hand towel into your range bag. Never heard of that being a problem.
Yep, it would definitely require a very thorough cleaning afterward. I think a glove or towel is a better idea too.I suppose a towel would work, I never considered it because it just seems a little odd. But I suppose my constant hand wiping on my shirt was also odd.

Didn't know they had this stuff, I'll need to try it out. Hope it's not just liquid chalk but judging from the reviews it seems legit.There is Stuff for the purpose.

I'll need a large, very absorbent towel, maybe two because I sweat quite a bit.My hands don’t sweat either but my brow line and neck does like crazy and it eventually makes it down to my hands.
I use a towel. Not a hand towel either. A large bath towel that has been put out to pasture by my wife. It usually becomes completely soaked.
I long for being back in MI.
I keep some sanitizer in my range bag, I'll test it out.Haven't tried it at the range, but maybe get a thing of hand sanitizer or wipes. That usually removes sweat from your hands. Wipe off with a towel after and you should be good for a little bit.

The same problem exists in other sports with a similar potential solution, you may want to look at your local sports store.
