Any electrically heated glove liners thin enough for USPSA in cold weather?

When the temperature drops into the low 30's it gets pretty hard to keep the fingers warm enough to shoot quickly, but bulky gloves don't work well either.

I don't know of anything.

Maybe a heated hand-warmer muff.

Or maybe pop-top mittens?
I love those things for cold weather hunting!
They keep your fingers toasty, but fold back for thin glove fingers for shooting

I get them at Walmart in the sporting goods department for less then $10 bucks.
They have a hand-warmer pocket inside them if you want to use it.

Cold

My club, www.UDPL.net just completed our News year day match. It was a steel challenge format I personally fired 228 rounds out of my .45 1911. At the start of the match it was 9 degrees. It got up to about 13 degrees max. A few guys kept their thin gloves on for shooting but most competitors, (me) took them off while actually on the firing line. I also had a disposable hand warmer packet in each coat pocket. I was never uncomfortable

Columbia might make something in Omni-Heat

I've never found a glove I would consider shooting in, no matter how thin, so my "cold weather" strategy is to eliminate as many places for heat loss as possible. I don't want to be "just over cold", I want to be "warm".

I start with a UA skiiing base layer. Very warm, yet still very flexible; this impacts my movement VERY little if at all. I only add the pants part of it if it is truly sub freezing howeer.

Other stuff: Knit cap. Heavy overcoat any time I'm not shooting. Hand warmers in the pockets of the coat. Wool socks. Basically anything I can to keep the rest of my body warm, I find will help keep my hands warm for the minute I need to take the coat off to shoot a stage. My goal is to stay warm with no gloves while still being able to move in the gear I'm wearing when the buzzer goes off.

I grew up in Michigan and live in TX. At 45 degs or less, especially with wind, I'm freezing my butt off.

I wear three thin layers of warm clothing and wool socks and a warm coat with good pockets for hands. I take off the coat just before shooting. If it's really cold/windy one of the three layers is a hooded snug-fit sweatshirt with a hood that will go over my hat and muffs.

All bets are off if it's also "wet". :-(

Those skintight Neoprene surgical gloves will help a little to keep skin chill off, and don't really interfere with anything.

I often wear them in the fall when working the water garden.

Not warm like gloves certainly, but better then bare wet skin.

I used the air activated hand warmers inside my gloves for the first time a couple of days ago. Was really impressed and they last approx 20 hours. Really worked well.

For competition, I would just take them off to shoot, and have mittens on otherwise.

That said, if you really want to wear gloves, I think Nomex flight gloves are pretty good. They keep the chill off, and have a lot of dexterity.
