LOL
Edit: as to not throw off anyone and to clarify what I was laughing at is the lime green ear plug cord. I personally have never seen anyone that wears them. Usually it's in black or orange.

Mechanix. Great line of gloves, thin gloves, easy on, high impact, gloves for every activity. Including shooting guns!

Sorry I couldn't see the lettering on the fingers since I am on my mobile app.

Yeah mechanix makes good gloves! I used them all the time when I was with the FD. Never tried using them as a shooters glove though.

Had the pick of colors when we had custom plugs made at a competition shoot years back...now have a pair of DEHP Pro-X electric muffs, best hearing protection on the market...indoor ranges I use both the plugs and electronic muffs...

Yep, tried all kinds of shooting gloves, but these do the best job of comfort, retain some warmth and good weapon controls dexterity..have used green flight gloves for shooting since on a tac team in the early 80's....but these are better...and last way longer...close friend on a big city high volume SWAT team uses em, he's tried all kinds of gloves with no real good all around ones...till using the same ones pI'm wearing in the pictures....

Hated em on the FD, not enough protection...padding...and just did not work all that well, ended up using green flight gloves till we got Shelby Extrication gloves....nice thing about the green nomex gloves, used em on wildland fires...came in really handy...

I understand using gloves with a .500 hand cannon, I don't understand using them with a Personal Defense weapon like a 1911. I want my grip to always feel the same, and I don't think Mr. bad guy will wait while I slip on a pair of gloves so I can kill him.

3/4th of the year I tend to have gloves on, it's cold/cool here...

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....

Burns? Are you talking about from the heated metal from multiple rounds?

I've burned myself once or twice on my 10/22 when I run 100 rounds or so through it real quick
