You can also cut the trigger finger off of the shooting hand glove if you want a better trigger feel. The use of golf gloves as shooting gloves also works great when hunting in slightly cold weather. ....... Big Cholla

I agree with both types listed here and for precisely the same reasons. I have been using the same golf glove for over 20 years. I only use one, on my shooting hand and find I can grip better with the second hand gloveless. It is easy to cut the finger(s) how ever you please. I use the glove primarily for my SA and DA 44 mags and it is primarily a benefit for eliminating chaffing of the skin. The slight extra padding in the palm is all I find necessary to 'take the edge off' during an all day range expedition. Weight lifting gloves are a little over padded to my liking, but they work equally as well and are probably a benefit in calibers exceeding 44 magnum. JMHO.
