I always wear a glove of some sort on my L hand. Most of my sxs have a splinter forend. Helps protect the finish. Also helps when shooting targets on a warm day. I look for golf gloves when they're on sale. They seem to work fine. I don't bother as much with my R hand unless it's cold. If it's REALLY cold, one has to be careful with DT guns to make sure the glove isn't too thick.
