Returning to paintball/ posts going missing

And tommikka do you only ever use ungloved fingers to pull the trigger?

I wouldn't say I have never played with a gloved trigger finger. But I don't like it and certainly do these days

Your comfort and what feels good to you may vary

I want to feel the trigger plus I have big hands so if fully gloved there may not be a lot of space in the trigger frame

To bring the above into context, pictures of how I cut my gloves:

Contrary to what I thought when I wrote the above post, I only cut down two fingers on the right hand. (I'm old and the memories a bit Shakey!) So it is half full glove and half fingerless

The left glove remains fully fingered but I have two holes cut in the two first fingers
Note that I have cut 3 sides of each hole which leaves a flap that covers the finger when it's inside (as if that makes any difference)
To get my fingers out its easiest to do two handed, but I can reasonably easily get a finger out one handed with a little wiggling. That means I can do so if I want to press a button or make it easier to switch hands without stopping shooting.

Hi thanks for the link,

Fortunately because I am working down at the Just Paintball site I have a lot of people giving me solid advice. The paint-ball world has greatly moved from scenario to tournament in the 4 years I have been out. But never having worn gloves I was wondering what the best option was, but I will definitely look around for comfort over looks though now.

My mask is the original vents logo http://www.store.justpaintball.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/6926caac3873dcb19f57a117d25d95e8/4/1/41zw7MrQUhL__SL500_AA280_.jpg

Shows how old it is! Still a fantastic lid though!
