Thinking of purchasing a leather hand guard to use on my doubles. A few weeks ago while shooting 5 stand the barrels on my Hussey got so hot I could hardly open the gun.
Does the leather hand guard harm the blueing? Any pros or cons on these?

Never had them harm the blueing and I do use them a lot. However, I do not leave them on and wipe the barrels well when I clean the gun.

Just get a good one... and do as Gnomon says. No harm will come to your Hussey. Or your gun.

Best, Kensal

Leather hand guards need to be put on and off.
Why not wear a sporting glove and not have the issue?

I used a handguard until I discovered that a cheap golf glove works pretty good too.

Try these gloves for your SxS instead of a hand guard.
I have a pair and they are outstanding.

great leather handguards made by John Bugden of Murray, Ky. Can even get ones with some extra weight built in.
Have ones for 12 and 16ga. Work great.

Well, yes. A glove will work also but the original query was about a guard.

A salami sandwich will work also but not as well and wasn't the question.

When it's cold I'll use a glove otherwise a guard. I use them for 20, 16 and 12 ga.

Special gloves and hand guards are both expensive, and eventually you'll leave the hand guard on after a hot afternoon of shooting and rust your barrels. I just use the heavy greasy work glove I always have lying around in the back of my truck...Geo
