My wife needed some gloves since she has problems racking a handgun slide due to weak hands/wrists since we are older. She knows about this site and asked me to order a pair for her. We measured her hands and ordered a size Small. They made it in time for her CCW permit class, however, she commented that the gloves ran a little big on her hands. There was still a little bit of stretch room for her fingers and the palms were a bit big for her hands. I wear between a large and medium-sized glove depending on the company who makes them, so I went to try these gloves on and was surprised they fit my hand like those skin-tight professional drivers gloves. She loved that these gloves were thin, but just not the palm size. My sister uses LA Police Gear shooting/patrol gloves, so my wife went over to try those one and those fit her perfectly. I will take these Q-Series gloves for myself and order her the other brand. These gloves are great for agility and manipulation of firearms and magazines since they are thinner. If you need gloves for slide manipulation due to weak wrists and hands, try another brand. These Q-Series gloves are good otherwise for people who don't have slide manipulation problems. Small runs from 2 5/8 to 3 1/8 but I suggest if your hand runs just under 3in, go with X-Small.
