What does /k/ think of my new jizz rags?
>>28622125
I think you should have saved your money and bought regular Mechanix and Ice Breaker Merino wool glove liners to go inside them.
Whatever floats your boat though I guess.
>>28622125
>What does /k/ think of my new jizz rags?
Why are you bragging about your poorfag gloves? OR Overlord masterrace here.
>>28622171
>>28622184
You guys are making me feel bad about my purchase.
>>28622330
Hey, they look cool at least. Personally I just find that stuff just makes it harder to get shit out of my pockets but then I'm not operating or whatever. If you like 'em more power to you.
Am I doing it right?
>>28622330
look good man, hell I wear my baseball bp gloves
>>28622347
Greg pls go.
>>28622344
I do like them, but I've always had the problem of my Palm being way too big for my fingers.
Do you know of anyway I could shorten the trigger finger on the glove by like 1cm without resewing the glove?
>>28622125
i dont have any operator gloves, just leather ones. Are mechanix the way to go?
>>28622330
>You guys are making me feel bad about my purchase.
If you want to really feel bad about your purchase, go wear those camping and be in charge of tending the fire. When the polyster melts to your skin, I can assure you you'll wish you had Nomex gloves instead.
>>28622459
>polyster

What gloves should I buy for shooting?
>>28622425
Depends what your willing to spend. I could give you a list of /k/ approved manufactures. But to be frank; if you want a glove without shelling out a bunch of shekels, yeah Mechanix is the way to go.
>>28622378
Not really, I guess you could go chopping fingers off them instead but that kind of ruins the idea of wearing them in the first place. The main reason I wear Mechanix is because they fit me pretty well. If you can, next time you're in a store with gloves, teactical, leather, /out/ style whatever, try on as many pairs as you can. try different sizes of the same one.
You're sorted with those ones for now but next time pick the ones that fit you best, I'm afraid the only way to do that is to just try shit loads of them on. You may end up with a pair of plain looking outdoor gloves that nobody on /k/ thinks is cool but they'll fit you better so you'll be able to do whatever you do better - who gives a shit what we think, we're assholes remember?
I believe in you Anon.
>>28622529
Just like handguns, eh?
Alright thanks anon.
>>28622526
Among /k/ these happen to be the more prominent brands. They are common, and trusted among the majority of kommandos. Personally I'm not a Mechanix man, I tore a pair of mine up within a week. Doesn't mean don't try them, just my opinion.
Like I always say whatever works best for you. If it works, it works. Take anyone opinion with a grain of salt, but don't just dismiss it either.

Nice M Pacts OP, I have them in Multicam and black. They're comfy and are actually pretty good shooting gloves. The black ones are a size large and are were a little big for my small baby hands. The Multicam ones are mediums and were at first a bit tight but fit great now that I've broken them in. I use the multicam ones for shooting and the black ones as general, outdoors/camping gloves.

Instead of blasting death metal in their ears, we can play K-ON! songs on repeat and instead of dogs barking in their ears, we'll have furries slap them around and shit on them.

To y'all who go all out with the cammies/flak/kevlar and all that other operator shit do you actually blouse your boots?
>>28626365
Yes, it's must.

Of course
>>28626435
This photo makes me uncomfortable
>>28626365
Yeah, because ticks fucking suck. I do it when I'm in full fudd bird hunting mode
>>28626405
I ended up getting pissed off in the patch threads and ordering myself 20 badges /pol/ badges because no patch fags were willing to order some.
They're pic related, gave two to my partner and sold some to a few /pol/ac/k/s, still have the rest here somewhere in storage.
>>28626343
>depends, are you pitching of catching?
>>28626482
If you can take a pic to prove they're real i'd paypal you some shekels for one
>>28622425
mechanix gloves are if you're trying to be early iraq mode. nowadays there are better things out there.
>>28626516
No camera atm, just lurk in the patch threads, I'll post an order link w/ pics and you can get some patches.

>I NEED ONE
So,hypothetically speaking would I be able to survive with my SKS? I'm an absolute poor fag and don't see myself getting an AR platform or AK anytime soon, so in the case of SHTF would I do well? I'm a good marksman, and my tactic would be absolutely fucking off into the rockies.
>>28627435
You'll be alot better off than most other people.
The most important thing about shtf is mindset and survival skills.
Gear helps too.
I always used these Camelbak Vent gloves. Skull aside, these gloves are perfect for my hand and I have yet to find gloves to replace them. Superior to Mechanix, 5.11, and OR in terms of personal fit and use.
Very little, if any, dexterity loss. I just blew out one of the thumbs, I might just cut off the thumb, might buy a new pair.
>>28626482
>I ended up getting pissed off in the patch threads

it's the most harmless threads on /k/

>>28627592
Because I begged patch flags for it, but it's fine though, I like the other patches I got from them, the "/k/ommando" really fits well on top of the /pol/ patch.
OR overlord gloves are 50% off right now on their website fyi
I use my motorcycle gloves.
>>28628072
I have those in red. Not bad
>>28627356
i need one
I would love some mechanix but my autism hates that text on them.
Why do they have to be so ugly? A label on the inside that says mechanix would be much better
>>28627356
>actually diagnosed with the 'tism when I was younger
I'll take two.
>>28626657
that guy is a cuckservative though
What's a good PC for my TAP Vest? Gonna keep using it as a basic chest rig for now, but I want armor eventually.
Is a USMC War Belt a good poorfag battlebelt?
Gonna get some multicam pants soon. What's a good pair of operatin' boots? Gloves? What do you guys normally wear for shirts or jackets?
>>28622125
used those gloves as infantry man in norway.
they lasted a moth or something before they started opening in the seams, and fingertips.
they look cool as fuk but theyre pretty weak for grunt work
>>28626354
Come take it fag :^)

>>28625839
you have more money than sense.
>>28629886
That is pretty much how GQ starts. Then we buy things. It helps bring our amount of money level with our amount of sense.
>>28622347
Toss away those Oakleys, quick. I had a pair for a couple months before the trigger finger seam tore, and about a month after that the fake lesther palm was torn in half, right in the center. All i ever did with them was shooting rifles. No abuse or anything.
Fucking expensive POS.
>>28630102
>lesther
leather
>>28629652
The USMC war belt is fine. I keep the suspenders on mine, but I also load it pretty heavily. Do what works for you.
Boots depend on your feet and environment. I use Moabs in summer and issued GoreTex ones in winter.
I use Mechanix fastfits for summer and Mechanix insulated (a size up from the summer ones) over wool liners in winter. I treat gloves and socks the same way. Pick something that works in your use and be aware that you will wear them out.
I wear underarmor with a light shirt in summer, and layer some extra thermals on in winter. You can find issued combat shirts for cheap on ebay if you like.
>>28630563
Forgot jacket, sorry. I typically use a GoreTex hardshell (in LOLUCP) when it is wet and cold outside. If I feel the need I wear a light fleece with it, but be aware that if you are comfortable standing still, you will start to get hot when you move. Less is more when it comes to snivel gear.
>>28630102
They're cheap Chinese faux-Oakleys brah. Paid like 7 bucks for them and they're surprisingly good (mainly because they actually fit my mutant hands).
>>28622425
Fix that fucking AK you slavaboo.
How do people actually shoot in M-Pacts?
They feel so restrictive.

I've had issues with the impacts getting caught at weird angles inside trigger guards of some pistols (compact tier lol9mm, and a few times in my 1911) and also occassionally in my AR.
I switched to Running back gloves (Nike/underarmor/Adidas/etc.) with the thin layer of super grippy rubber against the palm, and subsequent surfaces of fingers and had great experiences with them due to their stick to motherfucking everything nature, it took about 6 months of hard use innadesert to finally start breaking down the adhesive, and the grip beginning to flake off, but they were like 20 bucks at Dicks, so I'm not complaining too much.
PIG FDT gloves are great, and have lasted forever, but are a bit on the warm side for me, for 9 months out of the year (loldesert).
If you have manlet hands, they make a 'womens' fdt glove that might suit you better.
>>28629629
