I just got a new Creedmore full-fingered Shooting Glove in the mail today. I'll be using it for Service Rifle competition in the near future. First glove I've ever owned, and it looks/feels great, but I've got a major size problem. This is probably for the Comp/Accurate AR forum, but I will need some info. by tomorrow morning.
The glove is WAY too tight. After about 15 seconds of it on, I can feel the pulse in my hand beating through the fabric/leather of the glove. I measured the fullest width of my hand, which came to about 4.25" total. I ordered a Medium, which specified a hand-width of 4-5". The size SHOULD be right, but man is this tight. I was expecting ski-glove type firmness, but this is a bit too much - it's pretty hard to make a full handed fist.
So..
1.) Is the glove too small for me? If so I'll end up returning it to Creedmore tomorrow and getting a large, assuming their RMA dept. aren't hardasses.
2.) Should shooting gloves actually BE this tight? Is there a reason a slightly looser, much more comfortable glove is not recommended because of hand stability issues of some sort?
Thanks Guys.
