I'm interested in these for practice firing small handguns chambered with big loads, like 9mm or 45 to limit recoil pain. Would these be good?

they would serve the function about as well as leather driving gloves. the padding and shot is on the back, the palm is just soft leather. you may have trouble with tight trigger guards because the middle joint on each finger is heavily padded. they work with my kel tecs though.

No these are weighted gloves though they fit well I don't think I'd use them while shooting

I think it will probably do fine. For the price it seems pretty well made. i currently have mine on a 9mm carbine but i dont see any reason why it could not handle more recoil.

It would work fine, but might not last long with the recoil of a 12 gage. I got one of these and it broke the first time at the range with a 9mm carbine. You get what you pay for.

No, they would not be good for shooting range noise. They are good for constant low frequency noises, but gunfire would still be heard. They are better off with those foam earplugs you can get from the the drugstore. I used to be on a rifle team and those help considerably.

We use them with a Jackal for target practice. Be careful, these will bend if they contact the ground or something other than a target. Because a small bend makes them very inaccurate (and dangerous depending on how your target is set up) I recommend careful inspection after every use. Remove the head and roll the bolt on a flat surface to make sure it is straight. We get about 3-4 firings out of each one.

Personally speaking, yes. They are very strong and accurate for strong rifles. But. I would not shoot anyone with them. They really really hurt and are metal. (Aluminum)

I think they are designed for more powerful 1911s. But, it would not cost you very much to find out. If you are like most guys you will probably have one or more 45 cal. 1911s before too long. So, just save the buffers for them.

I have only used them once for shooting practice. It did a good job silencing the gun noise and I couldn't hear people's voices very much. Not sure how it would be for your use.

They are pretty decent. I found that if you focus them at a far distance, you dont have to refocus them till you are within like 40 yards of what you are looking at. Stable enough that you dont need a tripod at farther distances but if you are trying to just hold them upto your eyes with no support, you would get some shaking. I took em out hunting and used my rifle, butt on the ground and stabilized with the side of the barrel. 40 power is about as far as you wanna go when holding by hand. The adjustable eye pieces dont really matter as you need them all the way out to use them so your eye lashes dont touch the the lenses. They are pretty decent.

They do a great job at an indoor firing range, so I'm sure they would work for general noise. However, they are bulky - have you tried the foam ear plugs? If this is what you are looking for, these would be a great choice

You answered your own question! Should reduce felt recoil a bit but be aware that the cheap material they use as a buffer will mushroom and hang up on your spring after 3 boxes of ammo!!!!!

I shoot them out of my Gamo Silent Cat which is rated at 1000 fps for lead pellets. I only get 625 fps out of that gun with these 11.6 grain ones but they do a lot of damage to what they hit. But I would not use them in a low powered rifle. I switched to 10.3 grain H&N; Barracuda hollow points for more tissue damage but the Silver Arrow does a good job.

I have not used them on a large caliber rifle but they are beefy rings and these are the wide version. I would use them and believe they would work well.

Hey bro. Absolutely. I put them on my ambi 1911 e Series and they're perfect. I was checking it out this afternoon and I couldn't believe the grip. Glad I took the fancy stock grips off. As beautiful as they are they're just not as functional as these Hogue's. Go for it and buy them. I'm tellin' ya bro, I could clamp the gun in a vice over my head in the garage and do one armed pullups with the grip. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I can not say 100% yes, but they should work just fine. I have never encountered a problem using these in any firearms.

They will shoot fine....but Being a heavier pellet you will loose a few fps with a small amount of drop but, if you find it consistent for accuracy which I wouldn't doubt being fairly well.. you can just zero your site with that pellet I do have the vigilante Crosman pistol pellet/bb and it does shoot them fine for my pistol in fact it is sitting with the Crosman domed pellets in clip right now

I would say that it would be a tight fit depending in the size of your trigger guard. You could use them without the liner which would slim the trigger finger up a little.
