If you don't need gloves, don't use them. They reduce your dexterity, which means impaired weapon function and manipulation. The purpose of gloves on the modern battlefield are to protect the hands from the environment and the heat of the rifle. Unless you plan on going through keawe thorns or brush that require you to manually move them out of the way, or If you need gloves because you are shooting an AK or a rifle that has the potential to burn your hand, just get something basic like Mechanix.

Only caveat here is if you are worried about injuring your hands during transition drills to the ground, i.e. going from standing to prone, in which case Mechanix would work perfectly fine 

Agree with Q.  I wore gloves overseas since the damn MRAP's, HMMVVEE and other POS equipment is damn sharp, the one time I forgot gloves my hands were cut up.  Always after that.  Here in Hawaii nei only time I wear gloves is gardening.

The biggest downside to only using something when you need it is you don't often know when that time is until after it passes. Boy Scout motto:  Be Prepared. 

It's difficult to always know when to put on protective gear.  It's a precaution.  I've left my work gloves in the front yard, and being too lazy to look for them, started working in the back.  I'm usually reminded WHY I should always wear gloves!   

I believe in the reverse of your statement as "Always wear gloves unless you know you don't need them."  For range target practice, I'd have to label that as "don't need."  How hot will a barrel get from 5 rounds max per reload and limited shooting speed?  Mine got just hot enough to remind me to be careful where I grab it! 

 

My pig gloves came with my new glock 42 today.
