My encore tends to bite me every now and then, so Im thinking of getting a shooting glove.  Has anyone found one they like?

thanks

I use PAST gloves, the offhand glove provides protection down past the knuckle to prevent that nasty trigger spur from rapping you.

Uncle Mike's are nice.  I've not shot a t/c that kicks hard enough to need them, but my Ruger Bisley has bit me a few times and I wear them for a while if I take a rest from shooting for any reason.

I'm not really useing shooting gloves, but leather insulated work gloves and let me tell you they work great, took alot of the bite out of my 45-70 encore handcanon. The only thing is the trigger finger is a little bulky to get in the trigger guard but I havn't had a problem with it yet and I have a 1 1/2 lbs. trigger pull.

I use fingerless biking gloves.  Lots of padding on the palm, made of leather, plenty of flexibility for working the action.  Took the kick right out of my 10" .44 mag barrel.

I buy cheap gloves from wal-mart that have the rubber dots for traction, color of choice, including camo, and cut the thumb and first finger off.  8)
