I am looking for a pair of shooting gloves. I can find any good ones locally the all feel like they ate too thick and poorly made. I was even
considering going custom and getting one made to my hand but don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciate
 
I think the Mechanic gloves would be a good bet. You can find them cheaper than $27 though.

Hadn't thought of batters gloves though. I'll have to look into that.
 
I actually use the Mechanix Wear gloves. You can save about $10 if you just go to autozone or lowes and get the non"tacitcool" ones. They are the exact same glove except the lettering on top is not black. I've tried several types and the mechanix wear are the most form fitting around the fingers, they are terribly durable and the Velcro is like rubber so it will last longer than the batters gloves or golf gloves.

I don’t necessarily want the tactical look, but I am considering the gloves I provided the link to because they are vented. They are made of a perforated material and I felt it might be cooler and more comfortable for shooting gloves.
 
Rain Golf gloves ....come in pairs ...and they're available in high tech fabrics...with a velcro closure. Footjoy makes a pair in black / they're thin enough to pick up a dime ....give you a good feel for the gun / ok in heat ..or rain ..or cold.

Most any big golf store will have them.
 
Mechanix gloves are okay but I prefer Uncle Mike's leather shooting gloves. Been using a pair for at least 15yrs and they are still doing the job. I don't care for the padded variety at all, even with hard kickers. Be aware that shooting gloves usually change the point of impact and adjust accordingly.
 
I use shooting gloves now when I shoot my 480 Ruger SRH which is my largest caliber handgun. As far as gloves go, there is nothing special about "shooting goves" and some good fitting gloves from Lowes would work just fine. I suggest you try them on and buy in person versus mail order simply because the sizing is usually smaller than what I expected.

I have Uncle Mikes shooting gloves.
 
I agree that it is very important to buy them in person, unless you've tried them on before. Also that there is really nothing special about those Uncle Mike's gloves as it pertains to shooting. All you really need is just a comfortable glove with good traction.
 
I went to Wally World and picked up a $15 pair of Bicycling gloves. Work great with a little Gel in the padding.
 
You might want to look at GripSwell. You measure your hand, call them, and they will help fit the gloves. They have several different models. I got a pair for my wife and she likes the fit and padding.
 
I used a pair of weight lifters gloves that I had when I was lifting weights. The thicker area of the glove is right in the palm, and web of your thumb and finger. Just where I get "bit" from the hammer. The gloves are also fingerless and don`t interfere with my feel of the trigger.
 
I have been using a pair of Uncle Mikes for about 15 years if I am shooting heavy loads in my 44 or 41 mag revolvers. They stop the knuckle bite and the hand bruising quite nicely.
 
Have you tried (baseball) batting gloves?... I like 'em for shooting...

I'm another advocate for batting gloves. I've been using them for years. I originally began wearing them because I wanted to keep the perspiration off my guns' finish, so I didn't want finglerless gloves. They've allowed me to keep even my oldest guns looking like new.

The batting gloves are inexpensive, lightweight, flexible and provide extra grip. I've been extremely pleased with them.
 
I got some PAST shooting gloves 3 or 4 years ago. They are still going strong and do indeed help me when shooting the hotter loads in 357 mag and 45 colt. I also used them when I had a 44 mag and they worked well for it also.
