Default Odd question for the CCWs...

Have you ever tried firing your gun wearing riding gloves?

Actually, yes I have. Just to see how it felt "if" the need ever were to arise. But I have a pair of Oakley tactical gloves that I wear to ride my bike. I don't really like the way a lot of the motorcycle gloves felt, so I just started using my tactical gloves. Very comfy and have the carbon fiber knuckles. Have you?

Nah, I have carried while riding before, but I usually don't see the need to carry while ride, let alone shoot with my riding gloves on.

My glock 19 is no problem to fire with my icon glove. I shoot with them at least once a month, I even load my clips. Johnnyh

THe bigger question is,, Have shot with your helmet on? I can get my gloves off no prob, and have to take them off to get the helmet off quickly. While I don't ever see a need to do such a thing (as if I'm on my bike I have an escape from the situation), shooting with helmet I see as the trick.
