You never know what kind of scenario might arise in which you are forced to use your firearm for self defense. Adverse weather conditions are certainly a possibility, and operating a firearm in very cold conditions can be surprisingly difficult. While having gloves available is a good idea, they can throw you off a bit if you aren’t accustomed to shooting with them. So, don’t forget to periodically incorporate them into your range time!
The image above features the Glock 42, a great option for concealed carry. Also shown are the Voodoo Tactical Phantom Gloves, which are always on standby in my range bag.
