I had a brand new gun with a brand new leather handguard and the handguard removed a 1/8" x 1 1/2" strip of bluing on the barrel in two rounds of skeet. I wouldn't use a leather handguard again if you paid me. I now use the S X S with heat shield model of Gripswell gloves when the situation of needing heat protection arises.
