Normally, I am wearing 1/2 finger gloves at the range. I found that the Harbinger series of weightlifting gloves offer good protection.Lately, I have also been dry-firing while using these glove (in anticipation of using them at the course, perhaps).
I also have a set of full-finger hunting gloves that provide protection in the palm and thumb area where you would normally grip a rifle; the fingertips are also padded. Some pistols provide enough space within the trigger guard for gloved hands - up to a limit. Now would be a good time to test your glove-to-gun fit before you commit to wearing gloves in colder weather.
With the trigger housing on a 1911, which does not allow a lot of room for a gloved hand, it takes a conscience effort to keep the shooting finger pressed to the front of the trigger guard until you are ready to fire. The padding of the glove will allow a little movement without engaging the trigger; however, that movement is little indeed. The padding on the trigger finger will also make it seem that the trigger pull is lighter than it actually is.
Your advice is well founded. Fortunately, and in our neck of the woods, I rarely find myself wearing gloves due to the mild Autumn and Winter temperatures. Some folks who are north of us probably do wear gloves more often than not when the temperature drops.
Gloves do; however, interwqfaef waofr moh typepto!
