Do you wear gloves while shooting you ARs? If so, what kind of gloves do you wear and why, please? I've gained enough skill to fire a bit more rapidly and last week at the range, I felt some heat through the fore-end hand-guard. Not too much but enough to get me thinking about gloves.
Thanks!

Yes I do. I have multiple pairs of different weights.
The lightest are golf gloves. Regular, rain and winter as they are all different weights/thickness. They give as good a feel as you’re going to get, offer some protection from hot things and still retain grip when you sweat. They are also made in a lot of sizes so you can find a very good fit usually.
I also have a Milwaukee glove and a Wells Lamont that are both heavier than the golf gloves and probably give you the best feel to protection ratio, if that were a thing.
If I could only have one pair, the Wells is what I would chose and what I use the most. They offer good grip in heat and cold, thin enough I can still feel things. A lot of gloves get slick when they get cold. They don’t. I can touch my cans and tell they are still hot but not get burned.
I don’t care about the brand, it’s all about how they fit my hand and the feel. I tried on a lot of different gloves, to find what I like and still do when I see a wall of gloves I always try on a bunch.
