Canadian source for fingerless shooting gloves?

[yorgi]

Does anyone know if there is a dealer in Canada that stocks fingerless (Hatch or PAST) shooting gloves?

Any info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

I don't know about hatch Hatch or Past, but you might want to try a pair of fingerless weightlifting gloves than can be bought for $20-30 at any sporting goods store (i.e. Foot Locker). I'm planning to pick up a set myself to protect my hand from the wrath of Colt’s hammer bite.

Dave's Surplus (sponsor) carries Hatch (i think they are distributed by FN Sports). I personally like my Mechanix branded gloves

What exactly makes shooting gloves different from other types of fingerless gloves? Do they use some sort of recoil-absorbing foam?

I have a pair of Uncle Mikes.

They have recoil absorbing gel in the web and palm areas and the middle finger is long enough to cover the 2nd knuckle.

I've got a pair of mechanics gloves from Work Wearhouse. Leather palms and finger bottoms and stretch nylon backs. I just cut the trigger fingers off at the first knuckle and they work fine.

They're OD and black, so I call them my "Trailer Park Tactical" gloves.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. I ended up ordering a pair of Watson gloves from Dave's Surplus, the guys were very helpful over the phone.

shotzee, thanks for the great tip but I'll take a pass. I still remember your attempt to install A/C in your Lincoln...
