Gripswell makes a glove just for SxS shooting. The underside is covered in leather. You can get it in either left or right.

When I was eat up with playing the trap and skeet games I used Bob Allen uninsulated gloves for a year or two . At the same time I bird hunted quite a bit and used the same gloves .

Now about the only birds I hunt are dove and will use some kind of light camo gloves but that's more to cover white skin then anything else . If I'm on a deer stand I usually wear cotton jersey camo gloves with the trigger finger removed from the right hand glove .

Now if I'm shooting clay targets I see no need for gloves .

Seems to me there's a transition to the whole thing . A time before you deemed the necessary , the time you used them and then the time you only wanted them for camo or warmth .

Where can you buy these today? I understand Gripswell went out of business sometime back--maybe a couple of years or more ago and I don't believe there are any left on the planet for sale. I've been searching for two years to find replacements for my Gripswell GS-12 gloves which are now virtually wore out.

I gave both Bob Allen and Grip Swell but it's gotta be cold as hell before I use them.

I don't believe all hand guards are created equal. The ones sold by Galazan are not supposed to harm the finish on barrels and are advertised as such. I believe any damage to the finish caused by a hand guard comes from chemicals in the leather, probably tannic acid. I have used a Galazan hand guard for many years without issue. I had another one many years ago and it did affect the bluing and I gave it away.

I am going to guess you never shot a round of trap on a very hot day, trap doubles or a short squad is even worse. The barrels will give you a 2nd degree burn in a second under those conditions.

A beaver tail forend solves the problem. When I searched for a dedicated clays repro I was pretty emphatic about having a bt. It only took me 5 years to find the right gun. Buying a pair of gloves is certainly quicker.

When shooting in the warmer months the barrels get so hot in one round of 5-stand that they will burn you. I've used LL Bean gloves for years. They are thin enough for dexterity but are tough as nails. I use them for early season hunting and they shed multi-flora rose quite well and they stand up to several years of use.
