    shooting gloves for a Maynard

    When I first started shooting a Maynard, I was farmed out to a carbine team at the National. An old timer on that team told me to go buy a pair of Goat Skin gloves the tightest fitting ones I could put on, because he said they will stretch, which they do. He said the Natural Lanolin in Goatskin helps deter the heat, and I have been using goat skin gloves for 30 some years now, and see no reason to try anything else.

    I like thin leather or Neoprene Gloves

    I like thin Leather or Neoprene Gloves but anything that will protect you hands from the heat on a HOT DAY when the barrel get really hot.

    I have been buying the ten packs of the Neoprean Coated Gloves because they are very thin and you can feel everything through them.

    You can feel the rounds in your Cartridge Box and for me,,, almost feel the individual caps in the Cap Box.

    I do not like thick gloves.

    They are inexpensive, can be washed, keep your hands clean, give a postive grip, you can toss a few in you box so you always have a pair, you can cut the trigger finger and thumb off to feel caps if you want.

    They seem to be flame resistant but I have not done a real test.

    I use the leather faced Nomex flight glove (left only) I was issued for a deployment. Has held up well over the years. Before that just a light leather work glove from Home Depot or Lowes. Anything will work, so long as it is limber.

    Since most carbines were issued to the cavalry, cavalry gauntlets would be the most proper choice.

    I didn't know that buying a pair of gloves was this complicated.

    It's not.
    Just sometimes people want the thoughts of other to see what they use and any problem they come across.

    You don't need no stinkin glove! Learn to shoot that thing and get on a good team and it won't get hot enough to be a problem.
