What are some good affordable gloves for shooting and general /k/-related hijinks?

WELL, a lot of people recommend Mechanix as a cheap go-to, but if your handgun sports a beavertail then it's a shitty glove for that. There's too much excess webbing between the thumb and trigger finger, which gets hung on your beavertail when you grip for a draw.
The Oakley flight gloves are a standard, but have obvious drawbacks and aren't QUITE as sturdy as you would hope.
Wiley-X anything seems to be good.
Hatch anything is awesome.
All flight glove designs have a pretty slick palm material and they do this really fucking weird bunching up at the tip of your fingers, because they aren't box-cut.
Those overbuilt looking Blackhawk gloves with the Velcro closure on the back of the hand (I don't remember what they're called but there are pictures of them everywhere) have always been awesome. But hot. But still awesome.
Everyone swears by PIGs.
Someone mentioned that the cheap Under Armor football gloves are great for weapons manipulation but I'm only mentioning it because I have no experience and maybe someone will chime in for more hivemind info.
Take it from here, Kent.
Been using pic related for a year now.
Army infantry spending alot of time innafield and they're still completely intact. no loose threads, no holes innapalm or fingers, velcro still holds tight. Been wet and muddy and I just throw them in the washer and they come out fine. They fit my hand very well too, makes grabbing shit out of pouches a non issue.
Outdoor research ironsights are my favourites. I liked pig fdts
Got a pair of these for $40. Quality leather/hide and has enough ventilation around the wrists to make it comfortable for sustained use.
Only gripes are that even in large, it's still a tad too tight with under-gloves and there's a lack of a strap adjustment around the wrist for a more secure fit. Anyway, it's okay for the price, but spend more for a better product.

anyone tried a pair of madgrips? i have a pair lying around that i picked up on sale for 5 dollars. they've held up pretty well.
I've got outdoor research alibi 2 gloves. They're warm on the back and sides but have a very thin palmside. They were heavily discounted a bit ago.

nobody gives me any trouble

no 5.11 no care
I use deer hide work type gloves. Deer is a lot softer and stays softer than cow hide. It also makes me feel all cowboy. Dig?

I do IT for a living so I would want something I could use to switch between /k/ and /g/ activities. Soft-reinforced knuckle (canvas or leather) and goat-skin palm/fingers.
