I know these aren't entirely important, but does anyone know where I can find a Sauer Contact Trigger Hand glove?

And if in australia that would be even better :)

Thanks

I know the ones you mean, I think MEC make one ? Check out their website or your local dealer. Alternatively look at one of the UK shooting dealers sites, eg Edinkillie.co.uk and work out who makes them and then who your local dealer is (or order remotely).

Thanks for that, yeah a few have told me they're more common overseas such as in UK.

Well I just happened to miss it but I found one in a shop in South Australia.

Cheers again

If you can't source the Sauers, then have you considered diving or kayaking gloves? Some will be far too bulky, but some are quite thin neoprene, and readily available in Sydney I would imagine! They're usually full-fingered so you'll be able to cut them down to suit you.

Ron Maine (Target Rifle South Australia) I believe sells the Gehmann version.

Try the Q Store (QLD Rifle Association) they bought Kim Frazers business (Shootenstuff) a few years ago when she got out of the sport.

A friend of mine bought a Sauer trigger hand glove from them end of july and still had a few in stock, as for sizes ???

Just checked, they are $56.50

Also, a golf glove is a good substitute (the one I use is both cheaper and thinner). Like a previous post mentioned, you do have to cut down the trigger finger since they are fully fingered.

What do the glove do for your shooting, and do you use it in all three positions or just prone?

Hey Doug,

The trigger hand glove is there to provide basic grip on the trigger so that your hand remains consistant when in place. Yes its fine for all three positions, its simply more or less a comfort thing, not entirely important but just helps. I'm sure someones bound to elaborate on this more.

So kinda like more grip with less pressure?

10.9 sells them here:

also, Nikkonos on ebay sells them(this is where I bought mine from)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sauer-Contact-I ... 682wt_1037

I have done business with both and can recommend them without doubt.

Hey mate thanks for that, I have checked them out, however 10pt9 for some very bad reasons decides not to sell them internationally, they only sell to those living in America unfortunately.

I did check out Nikkonos on ebay and hes out of stock of a medium size right hand glove, but I recently contacted him and he said he might be getting some more in a period of 3-8 weeks.

Also as a thought, I cant remember but does ebay do private bids/ buy it nows? If so I would be willing to buy one if anyone wants to put one up on ebay. For those that do have a spare at hand, I'm looking for a right hand medium sized one.

No worries, computers can be fickle machines at times :-)
