thanks, august.
personally, for a shooting glove (i'm a civvie, so it's for range/general use), i look for:
- dexterity - thin enough to feel all controls (like optics and light buttons etc), operate and load weapons and mags by touch.
- basic protection from sharp edges - my dainty fingers always get chewed up somehow at the range, so gloves help save my skin
- secure, no slip grip when sweaty etc
- durability
- no padding on the palms that add bulk
- snug fit - better a bit tight than too loose - especially at the fingertips
another plug for SWMS gloves here, but i've found that the basic Heat Grip CT gloves meet all those requirements. they're less than $25 GSA price. they're made of synthetic leather which is thin enough to preserve dexterity but tough enough to protect my hands. they're in my review on my site and i really like them as a general use glove. the synthetic leather has a suede-like feel, and is surprisingly durable (i've been using a pair of impact CT gloves at the gym for the past 5 months for free weights and they're holding up better than my leather weight lifting gloves). they're also machine washable.
cheers,
MM
