I just got one of those hand tubes. I like it. I can keep crap in there and keep my hand warm without needing puffy gloves.
Yep.Don't get that cold here in Texas, if it does I ain't hunting.
Either by using "winter triggers," or, more commonly, by just hacking off the trigger finger off their issue gloves.How do Soldiers in combat do it?
don't know, but this comment made me flash a meme a veteran friend of mine posted with a picture of a soldier in winter that said. "You've never really been cold until you've been army cold..."How do Soldiers in combat do it?
This is how I keep my hands warm too with a thin pair of gloves and a chemical hand warmer. If it's going to be really cold and I plan to sit all day, then I put one of these in the hand muff:Growing up hunting in MI, once I got one of these, all my problems like this just melted away. This is just a representation of the one I have. Mine is a Grabber branded product. The same company that used to be the worldwide distributor of Grabber Warmers chemical hand warmers until they got bought by Hot Hands. I even used to work for them long after I had bought that muff.
That combo makes your hands too hot, even in sub zero temps. I just wear a thin pair of fingerless gloves.

That's right. The current unpopularity of the hinged AR trigger guard tells you all you need to know as to why hunting rifles don't generally have winter trigger guards.The AR 15 series in military usage HAS a winter trigger guard. There is a detent at the front of the bottom of the trigger guard and the straight bottom swings away and along the pistol grip. One reason I do not like the now common A2 pistol grip is that it seems to get in the way of this operation. Some lowers and civie produced ARs have a fixed trigger guard and some are extended downward to allow use with gloves.

The issue glove liners are pretty thin, and will mostly fit trigger guards.
For Arctic issue, there are gloves with separate trigger fingers and the ability to expose those fingers, if required
The Soviets just assumed that if you were in sub-zero temperatures, you were acclimatized enough to not need some fancy bourgeoisie trigger guard.
The Finns, Swedes, and Norse appear to have just sucked it up.
None of my several hunting rifles have trigger guards big enough to fit a gloved finger inside easily unless I’m wearing gloves so thin my hands are basically numb. I can’t be the only hunter who gets cold hands and needs to wear heavy gloves, can I?
I basically have to jam my trigger finger into the guard making absolutely sure the safety is on before very carefully disengaging it. Getting off a quick shot is essentially impossible unless I walk around with my finger on the trigger, and I’m really not comfortable doing that.
