Gloves and grips and the AR15
We’ve recently been getting in some tactical gloves from various companies to figure out what we should be stocking in 2012. There are big differences in the types of gloves we are getting in. Some are designed for heat resistance and others are basically designed for protection. One of our favorites so far are the Vickers tactical mid-length gloves which sadly have dried up since Eotac ceased to exist. These gloves are designed for an operator to cut off the trigger fingers on either hand if the shooter wants to and they will not fray beyond certain points.
Some of the other gloves we are stocking now are the turleskin safety gloves for Law Enforcement protection while searching suspects. Body armor has improved in many ways and gloves and boots are catching up. One thing that does change when an operator does wear certain gloves and Magpul accessories have the answer are changes to trigger guards. If you look at something like an AK, the trigger guards are designed to be very large because most of the individuals using these were wearing thick winter gloves.
