My XDs in .45 ACP rubs the base of my thumb raw. I haven't tried gloves, maybe I should.

Give those Magpul gloves a shot (no pun intended). IIRC, the wife picked them up for me and they were either $19.99 or $24.99 at Academy. Not bad, and I think they are great gloves. I'm not going to breach any doors with them, but they don't get in the way and they aren't slippery.

Please elaborate.

My carry pistol, when firing hot ammo gets pretty snappy (S&W Shield 9). Depending on my hold, it can rub a spot on my hand to be pretty sensitive. Not a blister or anything like that, but I've found that the gloves I wear aren't cumbersome at all, and take care of that spot if I get a hot load.

If the OP was asking for a suggestion for gloves when the situation warranted it, I would suggest these based on my use so far. They keep a good grip and don't get in the way of manipulating my pistol. The first time I wore them was actually at an action match, and I forgot I was wearing them. (Avatar is after it warmed up some - notice the short sleeves)

And, they look tacticool

I wore gloves for the first time shooting when it was cold - as you can see in my avatar. I found the gloves that I wore to actually be pretty nice while shooting. I don't wear them all the time, but I do have one pistol that can make the knuckle of my thumb angry so I wear them sometimes for that one.

I guess I'm of the opinion that sometimes it's nice and sometimes it's a pain to mess with. Many variables determine whether I will mess with them or not on a given range trip.
