To Glove or Not To Glove

[wicked_mag]

I've got a pair of JT power series full finger gloves in green. I got shot once in the middle finger and flipped out on the guy cuz it hurt so freaking bad i lit his mask up. It was fun. From now on i wear gloves.

The first time me and my son played paintball, he got shot from close range on the back of his hand. It got all swollen and bled. We both have played with full-fingered gloves since that day!

I wear Uncle Mike's (a manufacturer of holsters, and police duty gear) neoprene/lycra gloves, my kid has PMI gloves.

Cliffio, Did I sell you that pair of Tacticals?

I got a smaller pair, since the other ones didn't fit too well, and I love 'em.

Don't have to worry about hand hits... they're always annoying. Plus it always just seems like I have a better grip on my 'gun.

I do a lot of Crawlin' and it's nice to not have splinters/etc... get in my hands.

Heh, yeah that dye used to come off onto my hands too.

Here's a trick, run the gloves under some warm water and squeeze as much dye out as you can. Do that until not much dye comes out.

That should stop the dye from staining your hands.

but wont the gloves shrink?
since they are leather, i kinda thought that they would shrink

pmi half finger gloves a little stiff but i dont care its better than getting hut in em!

Half Finger Armor back gloves. LA Gloves or LA gear, something like that anyways. It's not the shots in the knuckles that hurts it's the ones to the nail on your little finger that make your whole hand go numb that hurt.

As for the dye coming off on your hands try soaking your gloves in salt water for a couple of days. They shouldn't shrink on you, but I may be wrong. They will fade a little as the dye soaks into the water. I let mine sit for 3 days and they haven't leaked onto my hands since. I hope this helps you out.

I wear black Harbinger type weight lifting gloves, half-finger. They seem to work fine for me. In Fact, i think i like them better then my friend's full finger JT gloves. Just my $0.02

I use full fingered Fox motorcross gloves. Fit great are designed to feel the break and clutch leaver so I can feel the trigger really well. They also have good knuckle protection. I've had a few bouncess off of them but not to many, although some other types that I've seen would be better for that.

I wear Raven blue flame Full finger on left hand, and right hand i wear
blue flame half finger

[MAGgot Man]

I personally....

wear half fingered gloves....but when these wear out I think im going to full fingered on my off hand and cut the fingertips off the first two fingers of the glove that I will wear on my trigger hand.

Full fingered motocross gloves

I wear answer full finger motorcross gloves. They are designed for sensitivity and armored for protection. It seems like a lot of paintball safety gear came from motorcross. Plus I already had them so why buy a pair exactly like just because they have a paintball name.

Knuckle Shots

The first tourney I was in I didn't wear gloves, and when Mr. Angel came around the other side of the bunker, I got shot once on all 4 knuckles and all four central finger joints. All eight balls drew blood. I wear gloves now.

Raven Inferno Full Finger w/ Blue Flames

I wear Raven Inferno gloves, love them... fit like a glove hehe. Ive heard people say they wear no gloves, or half finger gloves because they need the 'link' to their gun that full finger gloves interrupt, I personally think the gloves help me with that link, everything just seems more 'as one'. Best part is, they help protect my hands/fingers
