Default Shooting gloves help to tame the beast

.357 is plenty of power for me.
Soft leather golf gloves make it more enjoyable to shoot.
Only problem is that the gloves come one to a package.
You'll need tell the clerk you need a left and a right because you hold your gun with both hands

I think you have a good idea there, and a fine looking Magnum

Yeah, I agree that is a great looking gun. I love shooting my 65 with .357. I don't reload so I wind up getting different loads with different recoil. With me, it's kinda like the feeling you get when you pull in the driveway after a hard days work. I call it the good/bad feeling. Tired but it feels good to have put in an honest day's labor. After shooting a couple of boxes of good strong .357's bare handed I kinda like that feeling in my hands although somewhat uncomfortable. I use my 4" gun for deer hunting sometimes and gloves are nice for the cold weather. My problem is finding good warm gloves that still fit through the trigger guard. I sometimes use tig welding gloves that are kid leather. Some warmth with good grip qualities. I love it when it is not so cold during deer season like last year but I seem to be in a minority on that around here.
Again, nice gun sir!
Peace,
gordon

The gloves also keep the sweat away from the finish.
No need to accelerate the inevitable.

When I road biked a lot, I wore open finger bike gloves. Leather Palm and still have the feel of you finger on the trigger.

They work great for shooting.

The problem with golf gloves is that a vast majority of people are right-handed, and most golf gloves are for the left hand.
I've looked many times and have been unable to find a golf glove for a left-handed golfer (right hand glove).
Costco sells a 3 pack of golf gloves - all for the left hand.
I've never seen golf gloves with a right and left glove together in one pack.

I use batters gloves like baseball players wear. Just have to overcome the urge to spit and scratch my privates when I wear them.

I'm curious if you guys have tried to find P.A.S.T. or Uncle Mikes shooting gloves? I have been checking on the internet but it looks like they quit making them. I liked that thin layer of foam between the thumb and fore finger.

I know it's hard to believe but they actually make shooters gloves

The bicycle gloves are similar and can be found at local bike shops.
