Gloves.

[JohnKSa]

Started using nytrile gloves awhile back while cleaning. They're impervious to most chemicals and quite a bit sturdier than latex.

I'm going to have to get some shooting gloves. Recoil has never bothered me, but I'm getting some soreness in the base of my strong hand thumb that doesn't seem to go away (not as a result of shooting--just in general). I think I'm going to have to start being more careful with it.

I may get a loading tool to--I've always loaded all my mags by hand wihtout tools but I'm thinking that I should quit abusing my hands.

I only wear them when I don't want to leave any prints on the gun!

Like "Quantrill" I wear glover when casting bullets.

About the only other time I wear gloves is flying a PPC (powered parachute). It can get pretty cold sitting in the open in a 30 MPH wind.

I only wear gloves when I'm using a chainsaw cutting firewood or trimming trees. And when I use the weed wacker.

when I clean, and when I'm shooting and its cold....

I wore surgical gloves when reloading with some lead bullets my Dad bought. I have once shot with gloves on because it was cold. But I don't make a regular practice of wearing gloves.

I wear gloves most of the winter usually nomex flight gloves or a pair of blackhawk solag with army wool liners. I try to practice handling the guns and shooting the guns with the gloves on, since I doubt I will have time to pull gloves off if I ever need my gun.

The only time I wear gloves shooting is when it's COLD!!!!.

After cleaning my guns I walk over to the sink an thoroughly wash them with lots of soap and water.

I don't usually wear gloves while shooting, except in the colder weather. I have been using a weight lifting glove that has a wrist wrap on it when I shoot the .454 Casull or my buds .500 S&W Magnum. I've always kinda liked the smell & feel of the cleaning chemicals after shooting.

Nitrile, chemical-resistant gloves when cleaning or reloading.

Plain latex gloves when picking up brass.

When shooting small guns which have a nasty sting to the kick, I sometimes wear Uncle Mike's shooting gloves.

I hate covering my fingers. I like to feel things. But I don't want chemicals working into my pores, so I wear gloves while cleaning. I also don't want more lead on my skin than absolutely necessary, so I wear 'em while picking brass and reloading -- and wash my hands afterward, too.

Wearing 'em while shooting bothers me simply because I never wear 'em otherwise. "Train like you'll fight." I justify it simply because I figure, if I'm ever using a mouse gun for personal defense, I'll have other things to worry about than the sting of the recoil.

Gloves are for sisseys as a general rule. I would wear them in the winter if I were working outside. I would wear them in the summer is I was working with something that was too hot to touch with the bare hand.

I would not wear them shooting, doing manuel labor, working on machinery, working with cement, etc.

Gloves are for sisseys except for the above exceptions.

I find I shoot better when wearing a good pair of gloves.
That said, I've been practicing more without them lately, because the chances of me wearing gloves in a self-defense situation is slim to nothing.
