I like Gold's Gym wrist wrap fingerless gloves, that protect the wrists by a Velcro wrist wrap tightener --- I purchased them at Walmart --- You can also order them online. I can fit a thin pair of full fingered gloves --- underneath --- that are finger tip sensitive; that I purchased from 7-Eleven during the cold months.

ProFlex 900 Impact Gloves. Whatever that means, lol...
They are padded on the palms, fingers and thumb, and across the knuckles. Kinda thick on the palms, but not so much everywhere else.
http://www.ergodyne.com/products/pages/default.aspx?PCA=24&PRD=83
They show them on Amazon for $30. I'm sure I didn't pay near that...But I did buy them around 2010-ish...Used them daily, for working out, then busted up my back for the umpteenth time and now use them for shooting.
FWIW, I am a mechanic and cannot stand the "mechanic's gloves" that are available. There's little to no padding anyway, so I simply use latex gloves to keep the heavy grease and oil off of me. If I have a lot of heavy duty wrenching or using airgun/air hammer, etc... these pictured above, work great isolating your hands from the bone jarring shocks and vibrations. They pretty much eliminate any pain I normally get in my right hand (from being broken several years ago)...
Looking at the one Mechanix Wear fingerless gloves....They look to have a ton of padding everywhere but where you'd want it, IMHO...(and basically the same price)

If you check the link I gave you above, you'll see these (The ProFlex like I have) are designed to dampen vibration, shock and impact, which is a perfect match, I think..
Anyway...that's all I can offer...Good Luck.

I personally don't use gloves, but I've listened to many conversations (arguments 
) about the various types.
The only ones I've ever been tempted to purchase because I liked what I heard about them were the police/military dog handling gloves. Built to resist wear from dog leads/ropes, tight fitting for dexterity (and shooting), and a little tac for grip are among some of their positives.

Yes they do.

Primos stretch fit in real tree APG. Really comfortable for long stretches, fit my medium sized hands well (for someone 6'1"), provide a little warmth but great grip, good dexterity (hard to pull a primer cap for my ML, but reloading a centerfire or rimfire would be a breeze) and I can just squeeze some wool cut-off gloves underneath them if it is very cold. Less comfortable like that, but it works and I can have good grip.
Seams rip on basialy EVERYTHING out there these days. So it's really less a question of which is best, but rather how much you want to spend/be out when they need replacement.
From the other thread about gloves for shooting clays...

Thanks. There's a link to Amazon there and they are $9.99.

I buy a cheap pair and use them for everything. They hold up really well and the Velcro allows you to tighten them when needed.
It seems I only ever really get to shoot in the winter, I picked up some of these at a surplus store in NC

Oh, and by the way...

I’ll piggy back off this
A) i hate regular mechanix gloves for shooting
B) i really liked the grease monkey gloves for police work and shooting. Almost like a baseball glove.
Now......i admit i like mechanix gloves for working at my house and my projects but i go through two/three a year. I like their dexterity and thickness but there has to be a better option. Any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat. I've tried Hatch, Blackhawk, and a couple pairs of surplus gloves, but I go back to the Mechanix gloves because they're just so damn comfy.
Now, the official Orvis J. Simpson gloves may not be ideal for everyone, but don't forget we still have a few hours left for the Don't Fit, Must Acquit karma!

I'm with Bfy43 . For those of us with XXXL gorilla hands , nothing works .
I have NEVER found a pair of gloves that fit well enough to shoot with on purpose . Even the rare occasion that they are large enough for circumference of knuckles, the fingers still stop short halfway to the outward knuckle
So when hunting in the cold, whatever to keep warm while waiting, pull off to actually shoot .

I'm also a fan of the Patrol Incident Gear (PIG) Full Dexterity Tactical glove.

They have a similar feel to that of a batting glove - the FDTs are little thicker, but are much closer to batting gloves than mechanics gloves are. They afford the most dexterity of any shooting glove I've worn, and are also touchscreen compatible.
These aren't indestructible, but they wear well, and are the best balance I've found for comfort, functionality, and durability.
