I know I do and, with having to wear hard contact lenses (the ones you clean and reuse for as long as their prescription fits your vision), it's doubly annoying when I get home and my lenses feel as though they're about to scratch my eyes out. So, today I was headed out to the Rivanna Rifle & Pistol Club and stopped at a CVS or Walgreens (can't remember which, I just saw it and remembered I need some cough drops so I stopped). As I'm walking down one of the aisles I see a box of the surgical type gloves and figured they'd be worth the $10 expense to see if they kept the dirt off of my hands.
They weren't perfect, but wearing them didn't affect how the firearms felt and my hands were almost clean after going through 4 boxes of Winchester White Box as I sighted in the scope on the toy featured in my avatar.
****Here I feel I should point out that it didn't REQUIRE all 4 boxes to get the scope sighted, I just considered it to be prudent to just make certain I was happy with it, and then make certain again, and again, etc****
My apologies if I'm the last person here to figure out how to keep my hands clean but, on the off chance I'm not, I thought I'd share this idea anyway.
****Disclaimer: Yes I know there's the idea of training as if in a real world situation and you don't put surgical gloves on to defend your family from an intruder in the middle of the night, but I was looking for a practical idea for when at a range; you don't put on eye and ear protection in the middle of the night either****
