to glove or not to glove...

[xmetal2001]

if its cold, then wear gloves(even though they barely help). Otherwise, dont

Gloves are a must every single time. They're not expensive and add a ton in the way of comfort and protection. My personal choice is a pair of Raven Inferno half finger gloves. They were only like $15, and look cool as hell too. I don't play without them. If I accidentally left them home, I'd buy a new pair before I'd try to play with naked hands. If I were to buy a new pair though, I'd probably get a pair of full-fingered ones and wear a (new) full on the left and an (old) half on the right, unless I were to find the fulls were comfortable for me to shoot with.

Getting hit on the hand is very painfull. Gloves help absorb some of the impact.

I highly recommend gloves.

I definitely prefer to wear gloves. Not only does it take most of the sting out of those annoying knuckle shots, but if you get the right ones, they can improve your grip on the gun. I actually use a pair of winter golfing gloves. They are lightweight, cheap and have a great textured grip.

Been hit in the fingers too many times not to wear gloves.

I usually wear jetski racing gloves (thin thin palms and thick neoprene top).

Neverused to wear gloves, but I did the other day and they were great. Especially when I got two other guys' knuckles to bleed, because they weren't wearing any

Actually, I wear a pair of half finger weight lifting gloves. They're mesh on the back side, and leather on the palm side. Light, durable, and doesn't make my hands sweat. I've been hit on the hands while wearing them, and they don't hurt. Oh, btw, they're like $7 at Wal-Mart.

Ick, I hate the feel of wearing gloves, its detaches you from the gun. Id take 'bareback' and risk a hand hit over a glove anyday.


PS- Yes ive been hit in the hand many times, and id still rather not wear gloves.

I wear gloves. First time out, got hit 4 times on one hand in one round. Bled all over the place, and i had to sit out a round so we could tape it up and stuff.... never again. Cept yesterday... that doesn't count

Gloves are a must for me. Last time out my buddy got his nuckles all cut up from one hit.

Only when it's cold. My hands don't hurt that much when they get hit, don't know why. I've tried them and I hate when you get paint on the palm and it's all gross and slimy.

I use RaceFace mountain biking gloves, the ones with mild armor on the back and these little sticky patches on tip of the index and middle fingers, they really help with keeping your fingers in the right place on the trigger. Oh, and they look cooler than anything JT or DYE makes, cheaper too.

I wear gloves after having one of my fingernails cracked and pretty much crushed off a bunker move.

JT premieres are pretty nice, as are the DYE core division gloves
