Anyone use shooting gloves?

I hunt early season and found the Blackhawk SOLAG gloves to be the best shooting gloves that I have ever used. They fit perfectly and the Kevlar in the fingers and palms have kept my hands from getting torn up when I get up and down in all kinds of brush and cactus. Antelope season starts October
5th and can be 20 degrees or 80 degrees in southern Wyoming. I've used them for 3 years now, as my primary gloves for everything from hunting to working in the garden. They are expensive, at about $79 but they are darn near indestructible. I use them on the range, sporting clays and in the field and I can't beat them.
 
ok wierd question for everyone...I am incredibly paranoid/hyper-vigilant due to multiple trips to the desert. So I have been wondering how to keep my hands warm and limber so that if I have to draw my firearm for self defense I can operate it with confidence. I dont walk around with my hands in my pockets nor do I wear gloves every time the temp drops below 40. Any ideas would be welcome because as the weather is getting colder this has been on my mind constantly
 
I started wearing gloves when I began using a suppressor. Suppressors get hot within the first couple of mags and sometimes need to be cinched a bit to keep them from backing off the threads. If the suppressor gets loose enough....baffle strikes galore. Anyway, tightening a hot suppressor is more comfortably done with gloves on. Another benefit is myfingers don't get torn up and dirty as much while loading mags...
 
Mechanix gloves, I get them at Walmart. I wear them for winter shooting, and for whenever I shoot big bore revolvers. I noticed the other day that they now have a "light duty", I may have to give those a try for summertime use.
 
Bowling Glove

I once broke my right hand very badly in a fight with a suspect on a Sunday.
I didn't realize it was broken and thought it was a bone bruise-Monday was quartely qualification,so I got my bowling glove and put it on tight as possible because my hand was sore and I had to shoot 50 rds 357;50 rds 9mm;and 25 rds 3" Magnum 12 ga.
I did allright,considering-and then went to the HMO where I found out my hand was broken in three places and I wound up having surgery the next day and having temporary pins put in.
I was out for two months.My hand was never 100% after,but I still shoot all the time 20 years later.
The funny thing was it didn't hurt all that badly that I thought it was broken til I got off the range and it was all swollen and purple.
 
I have never used them or tried them but I can see how they would come in handy for certain situations. However, if I had a pair they would be reserved for the guns I'm not carrying. I never understand people who buy a light weight gun, like the 340PD for example, then only practice with shooting gloves on.
 
thank you all for the responses...I'll check out the lightweight mechanix gloves, as I said, normally i don't wear any but it would be nice to be able to operate my firearm should I need to (God forbid) if it's really cold and my hands are blue and numb
 
Winter golf gloves are lightly insulated and come in dark colors so you don't feel overdressed at the range.

And I agree that loading mags can ruin good gloves instantly, easily solved by acquiring an UpLula device. Use it once and you'll be a convert forever.
 
My fingers are too short to get proper trigger control on a handgun while wearing gloves of any type.

But I do use the Blackhawk! gloves when training with my AK47...
