Personal preference.
They are trying to be more tactical.
I wear a thin glove when shooting my 1911, grip is a lil high at times and knocks the hide off at the base of my thumb sometimes. Nothing fancy, just a thin silicone palmed work glove.
Depends, is the added safety of wearing them something that does not detract from your weapon proficiency?
Using a thin, FR glove like a mil aircrew is cheap insurance. It will feel awkward at first but you can train beyond that.
That being said, most of the time I am gloved and shoot better with than without.
Or, maybe they rely on their hands to make a living and want the added protection.
I have been wanting a good pair of tactical shooting gloves but haven't pulled the trigger yet (no pun intended). Is there a good pair you guys could recommend? And at a good price as well.
I rarely wear gloves for shooting, but when I do it's been limited to USGI style flight gloves...all I've ever needed. I've looked at all the HSLD "tactical" gloves out there and I don't see them bringing anything to the party really. YMMV.
when traveling at 60+mph in Iraq on convoys, an your one of the lucky ones hanging out the truck if shooting started, that sand is like being inside a metal blaster. Just like in the winter, you don't touch anything hot over there without gloves on!!
For me, I grew up on my Grandfathers farm. well really in town but spent a lot of time on the farm. we always had a pair of leather gloves either on or in our back pocket.
i noticed my older cousin, who i had not seen in 20 years, was still using and wearing the same type of leather gloves when hunting.
I wore gloves for a while when shooting, my hands were just use to it, but i do not wear them anymore. i think my hands have got toughter.

Gloves saved me one time from burning the ever-loving crap out of my hand when I touched the side of a set of polymer handguards on my Arsenal SGL-21 after doing several mag dumps. Melted the gloves, saved my hand.
