Easier on hands when loading a mag 15-20 times, gives you the feel of shooting with gloves teaches ya how to manipulate the weapon controls with gloves..different feel....and protects hands from crap/burns....
To each their own.

Yep, I've put many thousands of rounds downrange & some instructors tell you to bring/wear gloves...some do not care....just like knee pads, some classes want em, some don't and others do not care...it all depends on your level of proficiency, training and dedication....not to mention what you want to get out of training/shooting...

Wearing gloves when it's cold out, on the motorcycle and just as much as I do and how it's not feasible to take the time to remove said gloves if johnny bad guy is coming at ya......and ya have to take time to shoot as you are normally...

Wearing gloves has nothing to do with the above(training excluded)..........you are no more dedicated or proficient with your weapon than I am with one of mine because you choose to wear gloves........... If gloves make you "feel" more comfortable with your weapon......Great.......but I have also loaded multiple mags. and shot 10,000 of thousands of rounds and "feel" more comfortable without gloves. I rarely wear gloves, and the times that I do (hunting), they are too bulky not to remove before operating a weapon.

Ya, cuz we all know nothing tactile changes when ya wear gloves, ya never carry a weapon when wearing gloves, or you never ever wear gloves and ya will always have time to remove gloves if/when you need to draw your weapon....

Wearing gloves and ridding the motorcycle today....Rampy is

But hey, that's the great thing about life, ya can agree to disagree.....

Just saying that wearing gloves has nothing to do with proficiency or dedication............they obviously change tactile perception and would bring in the training aspect of shooting. Hope your ride went well.
