blue109 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 botach (yea, I know) is always having sales on Franklin gloves. I have heavy padded ones and lightweight ones. hold up pretty well.
Robocop1051 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Farkle is going to recommend Pig gloves. Lol (I beat you to it). IMHO, I tried them and I'll be buying a pair soon too. Oakley SI Lightweight Gloves... Effin' awesome gloves... as long as you don't use them as work gloves, like me. I went through two or three pair in short order. They were so comfortable that I wore them for EVERYTHING. Mechanix MPACT... I have been wearing these on duty for a few months now. They even have a "tactical" line (Covert and MultiCam). I ended up cutting the padding out of the palm on my right hand. For duty use it made my grip too thick to grab my .45.
Robocop1051 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 I almost forgot... Sitka Gear makes a shooting glove. It was really nice, and affordable, but near identical to the PIG Glove. Lastly there is "Line Of Fire" or LoF Gloves... these are like the Lamborghini of gloves. I used to have a 50% off code, but it expired in Feb. I really wanted to order a pair of their gloves, but they were out of stock in the size/color I wanted.
Robocop1051 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Honorable mention... Oakley SI Assault gloves are really good too. I literally wear these till they fall apart at the threads. My only gripe with them was the carbon fiber knuckles can be uncomfortable till the gloves are REALLY worn in. This is the reason why I like the SI Lightweight gloves so much. For me, by the time the knuckles get comfortable, I've already worn through 1 or 2 fingers and usually a section of the palm.
MikedaddyH Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Dick's sporting goods. Black leather shooting gloves $29.
StainTrain Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Robo nailed it. I currently alternate between the Mechanix 0.5 (black), PIG (OD Green), and old Wiley X Hybrid (Coyote). Those have emerged as my favorites. Outdoor Research makes some decent gloves, but I never put them in the rotation.
AngelDeVille Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Remember if you want a pair, you need to order 2. Other than that, mechanix gloves last a long time.
98Z5V Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 ... and old Wiley X Hybrid Love those damn gloves. <thumbsup>
StainTrain Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Love those damn gloves. <thumbsup> Out of all the ones I own. The Wiley X hybrids are the oldest and have held up the best. PIGs are too new to make a solid judgement....they feel good and for now that is good enough. The real contender is the Mechanix 0.5. They are like bare skin condoms for your hand.

Microgunner Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Posted March 15, 2015 So far PIG and MECHANIX are sounding good.
Malig8r Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 PIG and MECHANIX These are your answers. Lots options out there but those are the two I like the most for fit and dexterity.
Microgunner Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks for the recommendations brothers. Just ordered PIG FDT gloves in black.
Microgunner Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) PIG gloves from Tactical Distributors arrived this morning via UPS. Nice, very nice. They fit like a....errrr....glove. PS they came with two little green Army men in the package. Edited March 18, 2015 by Microgunner
Microgunner Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Who did you order from?Tactical Distributors.com via Amazon.com. Tried to order directly from SKD like 4 times but never could get their site to work. Just kept saying invalid email no matter how many times I entered it. Edited March 18, 2015 by Microgunner

PS they came with two little green Army men in the package. Very cool. I'm certain that you will like the gloves. Army guys were a bonus!
98Z5V Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 On another note - I always could count on mil-issue Nomex flight gloves. Those were my go-to gloves for many, many, many deployments and exercises.
Bad Wolf Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 How do yall go about ordering gloves off line. I can never find a pair to fit right unless I can try them on. Every brand fits different. I have large wide/thick palms and fingers not long enough to be considered proportionate. So most gloves are either tight on the palm and loose on the fingers or vice versa.
Microgunner Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Posted March 20, 2015 I( used SKD's PIG glove sizing chart. Worked perfectly for me.
Robocop1051 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 Wait a minute!!!! Wtf are you pointing at me? Was it something I said? ? ? Lol
