| I'm just curious what type of gloves you fellow LEO's wear? |
I have the same ones but it offers nothing in terms of pucture or cut resistance - however they do look cool as shit! |
| I use a set of Uncle Mike's neoprene gloves. BUt do you guys wear them when you pat down people and search them? I just seems to me that gloves are pretty unsanitary. I mean at least you can use anti bacterrial stuff once you are done with the call. Not trying to be a germa phobe or anything. |

Mechanix Gloves is what i use in my job (Corrections); i also have a pair of Hatch Street Guard glove for patdowns; the last thing i want is to get cut with a shank or a needle; you guys on street patrol know what I mean. You don't know what kind of funk some of these inmates have, so you take all possible precautions what patting down inmates. I also keep two boxes of nitrile gloves on the trunk of my car and keep a few on my duty rig. |
| I've been using Mechanics gloves, which I like. I dept. just issued Hatch and I'm still trying to get use to them. Very stiff and they don't have the "feel" for searching that I'm use to. Of course, they offer a lot more protection. I'm still divided on my overall Hatch experience. |

Would you wear these while shooting a handgun? A Glock? Every pair of LE gloves I have tried on seem that they would be "too bulky" inside the trigger guard and I find this scary. So I ask and am interested in some feedback for Winter shooting. |

I used to work in a army surplus store and officers would come in and order Blackhawk and Hatch. Both very good gloves. |
