I truely hate agreeing with you but I do the same . Cutting the trigger finger off to where it would be back to the second knuckle . And nope they don’t keep your hands warm .

Since I usually loose the right hand glove I’ve taken to using deerskin gloves I buy at Tractor Supply usually just wearing the left glove . Then my trigger hands uncovered . Usually if I think it’ll be cold I’ve got hand warmer/s in a pocket or two .

Best deal I ever found for shooting gloves: Go to your nearest motorcycle / leather head shop dealer and ask for their "summer weight" driving gloves. I found them at a local motorcycle clothing store (no bikes for sale) for $14 a pair. Black perforated fingers and palm, REAL LEATHER, velcro wrist closures. Quite the bargain compared to branded chi-chi types at $22- 50 Pair. Nothing like them for an ice-cold steering wheel setting out for the range on a winter morning or, once there, hefting a CHE 28- ga with a splinter forend.

Gotcha! Maybe K will tell you about the Vincent Black Shadow that he rides to the range.

There isn't a comfortable light glove that will keep you warm, I'm convinced of it. I have the regular and summer weight gunglove. Meh. Not sold, for me at least. My solution is a glove you think you look cool in and electric hand warmers in your pockets. Tucking your hands in there between stations even without gloves is magic. Invest $50 in hand warmers and you're good. But gloves do help grip in hot nasty sweaty weather for me. I'm not sure Phil was asking about keeping warm rather he wants to look like a stud.

When it is so cold I need a glove on my trigger hand, I'm not there!!

Having lost part of a finger on my left hand, the circulation in that finger isn't great so I do wear a thin glove on that hand.

I have a recently remodeled thumb that also has a circulation issue requiring a warmer solution. I’ve never cared for hand warmers but I’m warming up to
The idea. See what I did there? 😂
