Padded shooting gloves

I'm wanting to send more rounds down range with my 500 before the recoil gets to me. Would padded shooting gloves help much?

Can anyone recommend some good shooting gloves?

Yes, I have a PACT shooting glove that I Do use with some calibers.. It helps a lot.
 
I sure like mine !!

There are more advantages to this type of glove than you might imagine. The ones I use, are lightly padded and you really don't lose the feel. They provide much protection. They also work well when your palms are getting sweaty. I use mone for handgun as well as rifle shooting. .... :)

I use the leather padded fingerless bicycle gloves too. They really save your hands. They are padded in just the right places for me. They can be found almost anywhere bikes are sold.
 
Pact gloves for my Super Blackhawk 44 magnum because I am using the original grips. I switched to Pachmayr on my S&W 41 mag and can use bare hands on that one now.
 
I wear a pair of leather palmed mechanics gloves i use sometimes when shooting my redhawk alaskan .44. It helps alot with felt recoil and with holding on for the ride lol.

Oh well, not everyone is the same size, age, or strength recoil is felt very differently depending on those and other factors.
 
Yes, they help.

My shooting buddy has eschewed gloves all his life. Doing carpentry, yard work, everywhere.

He bought a 500 a while back.

Got some soft tissue damage at the base of his thumb.

I bought him shooting gloves for his birthday a couple years ago.

Those gloves, he uses.

I found wearing a glove on my shooting hand with my Casull and his 500 helps reduce the sting. Unfortunately, I used a regular leather glove. Two shots and the palm of the glove at the base of my thumb had a big rip in it.

With a gun like the 500, at full power, a really tough glove will protect your hand from the impact, and, more importantly, from the friction of shooting.

The alternative is to have a padded grip on the gun. Check out the ribbed grips on the heavy caliber lightweight offerings from Taurus (whether you like or dislike Taurus revolvers, those grips are COMFY!).

Yes, they help.

Thanks for the advice guys.

If someone calls me a wuss for wearing gloves then I'll let them shoot the number or rounds I shoot down range with the gun, if they can obviously say their hand doesn't hurt then I wont make them pay for the ammo.
 
PAST shoooting gloves from the '80's era are still in my shooting box. I bought them as soon as I bought my Super 14 barrel in .45-70 for my Contender. One shot with a 500 gr. MC crimped load was enough to convince me they were a better idea. The guys at our ranges know you're bring out serious stuff when you stop long enough to put your gloves on--kinda adds a macho touch.:cool:

Do they wear hearing protection and shooting glasses. If they don't I wouldn't listen to a word they say because they are not wise people and have nothing to say worth listening to. If they do remind them of that and your glove helps you to shoot better. Shooting is supposed to be fun not an exercise in masochism and sadism.
