Sneaking in an item before the start of SHOT, we recently received several pair of pre-production gloves as the latest offering from SKD Tactical.  We spoke with the SKD crew last summer, and they were hard at work on these.  Their goal was a glove that gave a similar feel to shooting without gloves.  That is a tall order, but from my initial impressions they came in pretty close to the mark.  I've done a bunch of dry fire drills, searching, and weapon manipulation.  I do NOT have enough time with these in an operational or training capacity to comment on them from a real world point of view, but we received a few samples so we will get them into the hands of  guys who do dirty deeds for a living and report back with a long term and functional review.

Check out the grey insert for specs, and note the features such as "Ballistic Nylon Padded Knuckles - Reinforces people skills".  I'll have to include that line in my next use of force report and see how it goes over.  The SKD guys have good humor and so far it looks like the gloves are pretty good as well.  We'll let you know more about them after we work on our people skills.
