Gloves can be particularly challenging. If you choose to wear gloves I recommend investing in a more “tactical” style glove like PIG or Mechanix. When assessing gloves pay attention to these key factors:

- Can you clear your garment quickly, safely and efficiently?

- Can you get a solid strong hand purchase on the draw?

- Can you fit your finger in the trigger guard?

- Can you obtain a proper grip to withstand firing multiple rounds?

- Can you manipulate all fire controls like the trigger, mag release and manual safety (if applicable)?

- Can you perform reloads and clear malfunctions without any issues?

- Can you rack the slide without excess glove material getting bound up between the frame and slide?

You can’t do something you’ve never practiced and expect good results.
