    Only use a smooth-faced trigger on the Glock. The OEM G17 trigger is fine, but I have had cold+gloves+serrated G19 trigger cause the inability to fire. Never had this with the G17 with same gloves and similar conditions.

    I have had no issues using a G17, P320, or various DA/SA guns with mechanic type gloves on in cold conditions.

    Maybe that works in Virginia.

    It doesn't work so well in places that actually get cold.

    Walther PPQ. The trigger guard is large enough for most gloves.

    Biggest problem in south TX in December is how to conceal that G19 when you're wearing a t shirt and short pants!

I tend to compare gear on sites that I trust as an example huntingfishingplus.com/best-shooting-gloves offers a good and simple review. Some of the features most common in lightweight gloves are breathability and moisture-wicking properties. There is also an abundance of options with touchscreen capability, meaning that you can use your smartphone or other devices without having to remove your glove and expose your hand and for holding your weapon with ease. You will not be able to feel your gloves.
    I would make a distinction between a "shooting glove" and a winter glove that I can use while shooting.

    Most of the gloves at the link above are the tacticool type, protective and suitable only for cool-ish temps depending on activity. They are also entry-level/economy gloves, with the associated quality. I have had dozens of the Mechanix and Hatch offerings. They're an easy button, useful, but they are what they are.

    I've been in conditions so cold that not wearing gloves was dangerous. I'll never forget how much it hurt to thaw out a patch of frozen skin.

    Feature 3. This is just one example of a trigger guard bevel service, I'm sure there are other companies offering this serivce. Why change weapons platforms when you can just mod one of more of your glocks to fit your needs?

    You mean there are people who haven't been in such conditions? I'm half serious, sometimes it's hard to forget what a wide range of climates we have just in the US. Here, we have a couple of days annually where a few seconds without gloves is dangerous, and a couple weeks where 30-60 seconds is the limit. Admittedly I'm pretty far north now, but there are probably over 20M people in the midwest living in areas that can get equally cold weather, just less often. And several million Canadians in the prairie provinces where it gets much colder, much longer than here.
