  Neoprene.

  My thoughts are generally clear. My typing, not so much.

  I only use gloves for videos or pics I post on the forum. Otherwise, I hate wearing them. I prefer the tactile feel of non-glove wearing.

  I hate gloves. Except when it's cold.

  A good fitting moderately heavy leather glove, then only if it is cold, your exposed to thorny brush, or something digs into your hand during recoil;
  such as the plowshare grip of a Redhawk.

  :that:
  I have a really nice pair, but have found that I do better with bare hands. In a work situation, if you need a pen or such, it seemed way to clumsy and took to much time fumbling around.

  The best gloves I have found for shooting are GI pilots gloves with Nomex backs and leather palms....about 16 bucks a pair...

  This.

  Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

  P.A.S.T. shooting glove, I got mine at Cabelas. Got it after a few cylinders of .454 Casull out of my RSRH barehanded. It works for me.

  Mittens.
  
  Really. I have a pair of those wool mittens that I can fold back out of the way to take a rifle shot. I've never tried to shoot a handgun with gloves. We don't have very cold winters.

  I tried a pair of Mechanic Gloves to help my grip and joint pain, was getting the pistol ready to fire and almost hit the trigger . Scared me and took them off , maybe try a thinner pair

  I prefer no gloves but if it's real cold I might throw on a pair of Mechanix. I buy them at Walmart.

  
  This, the Mechanix gloves are great. I also have a couple pairs of these CLC gloves... http://www.goclc.com/products/Work-Gloves-High-Dexterity-Flex-Grip/124
  At $12, they are a great deal and last reasonably well. As they start to wear out, I retire them to use when I'm running my buffer or grinding metal.

  I saw people wearing gloves at the range yesterday and was just curious as to the benefit. Although, I was afraid they might let the pistol move in my hand. Doctor said arthritis in my thumb and wanted to know if they might help. Thanks for the replies.

  Didn't think they would but you don't know until you ask. Thanks

  I've worn Mechanix gloves while shooting before, and I probably will when I'm sighting in the .454. Might cut the trigger finger off an old pair to make sure I am good on the trigger.

  Yep. For $12, those CLC gloves are my favorite, for mildly cold weather.

  ...the P.A.S.T. gloves are designed to absorb recoil & keep yer kanuckles in one piece. They make a lot of difference if you're shooting strings of heavy recoiling loads. Good investment if you shoot a lot of big pistols, you don't end up w/ that numb, fuzzy feeling in yer hands, taking the bite out seems to improve my shooting, & I'm betting it will reduce nerve/ joint damage over time...

  I just might try a pair of P.A.S.T. gloves just to see if they help. Thanks.
