Erik do those gloves affect your trigger control or felt pressure?
Not at all.
Good Tac Gloves do not affect your dexterity much.
At least good ones dont.
These Wiley Xs are pretty good for dexterity and protection. (albeit not as long lasting as the price would suggest, still even a partially torn pair is better than no pair at all in SHTF)

Soapbox:
I agree not all changes that the GWOT has engendered on 1st world Ground forces are fundamental innovations..... some are just fads IMHO that designed for that niche.., but the universal use of Tac Gloves is a genuine innovation IMO.
Human Skin is really good at resisting cuts in a natural environment.
But we dont live in a natural environment, we are surrounded by artifacts.
Many of which can easily injure us.
Our hands are what we use to touch stuff, what we use to manipulate our weapons and what we use to brake a fall with, etc
We NEED to protect them, especially in a situation w/ little or no medical support (SHTF)
W/o medical support even one tiny cut can kill you and then you are of no use to your family.
Urban environments are the worst of course, broken up by explosions etc, but even in the woods Tac gloves are essential IMO.
Train-as-you-fight.... so I wear gloves in training.
Only exception is zeroing a weapon.. because I am calibrating a machine (to quote Mike Panonne) that I will usually do barehanded.
Also Handgunning I may do barehanded because handgun use is first choice in a non tactical environment (civilian self defense)
