Glad you enjoyed the video James. Those are Patrol Incident Gear Delta Gloves.Thank You for the Video it is helpful and a great reminder. I run the same XD-M Elite and it is definitely amazing!! My question regarding this video is what brand of gloves is he using? It looks like there is a rubber material on the glove that matches up to all the major contact points where his hands touch the pistol.
Thank You for the Help!! James
As usual another great article and video shared by Mike. That being said I find that having that video shot with the guy wearing gloves did a disservice as it shows with the amount of comments focusing on what gloves he is wearing.Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com.

I kinda look at it as a moot point since even the tightest fitting, most comfortable gloves are a hindurance compared to no gloves. I only wear gloves when shooting ARs. Because they get hot.As usual another great article and video shared by Mike.

Yes I wear gloves sometimes at the range but when I practice in regards to a defensive situation I don’t concern myself with gloves because I don’t wear them 100% of the time. Don’t get me wrong everyone should practice every situation but if you practice with gloves don’t expect a bad guy to wait while you put them on. Practice both with and without and focus on situational awareness.

I didn’t address a certain poster because that’s a moot point. My comment was meant as it was addressed because readers or viewers of the video focused on what the video was not about.Gloves can help and they can hurt - the only reason why the video's author and I addressed *_the glove worn specifically in the video_* is because an interested viewer asked about it. No other context was given by @James77329 as to why he was interested in the gloves, and I think we are assuming too much by offering up our views of whether wearing it is "tactically" sound.
One of the items that I cited in my response to @James77329 was the thread that you'd OP'ed, @Keystone19250 - https://www.thearmorylife.com/forum/threads/shooting-gloves.5687/ , in which I did address the idea of vetting gear as well as the pitfalls that to real-world, dire-stress use (https://www.thearmorylife.com/forum/threads/shooting-gloves.5687/#post-113406 - in points #2 and #3).
I absolutely agree that it's an important potential pitfall to address, but at the same time, I think it exceeds the context of @James77329 's simple question.![]()

Sometime back I started a thread asking about gloves for shooting and my questions were answered.
Agree to both your points b^ Understood.
My point was that not all of us take away the same things from what's presented, and that a targeted question can be addressed, nonetheless (after all, how many times have threads taken a tangent?). The author of the video replied (I didn't believe it was my place to answer that question prior to his reply), and I simply expanded.
^ That's the thread I cited (and linked) both in my original reply to @James77329 , as well as the one that I just posted in reply to you and @Bassbob above.![]()
We all are guilty of that.It's so hard (for me) to remain on-topic, anyway.![]()

I vividly recall Mas Ayoob quoting either Bill Wilson or J. Michael Plaxco as saying, "What th' hell ya think the Good Lord gave ya a left thumb FOR?Two things;
1. From lockback use your off hand to manipulate the slide release. This will eliminate the chance of your strong thumb closing the slide before the magazine is seated and you ending up with an empty chamber and a full magazine.
