RESQ-GRIP Gloves: Better Weapon Retention

Quick Answer

Use RESQ-GRIP gloves to maintain a secure, non-slip grip on your weapon during retention drills. Their tested resistance to fentanyl and other contaminants also keeps your hands protected in high-risk environments.

Step-by-Step: Using RESQ-GRIP Gloves for Weapon Retention

1. Step 1: Don the Gloves Properly: Ensure your hands are dry before putting on the gloves. Use the cuff to pull them on without touching the outside surface. Check that the gloves fit snugly without restricting movement. A proper fit prevents bunching that can reduce grip sensitivity.
2. Step 2: Establish a High Grip on the Firearm: Grip the weapon high on the backstrap, with your hand as close to the bore axis as possible. The glove's textured surface helps you maintain this grip even under pressure. A high grip reduces muzzle rise and makes it harder for an attacker to twist the weapon away.
3. Step 3: Use the Glove's Surface for Retention Drills: Practice retention drills where an attacker tries to grab your weapon. The glove's non-slip surface helps you keep control while you execute counter-moves. Common mistake: gripping too tightly, which can fatigue your hands quickly. Focus on maintaining a firm but relaxed grip to sustain control over time.
4. Step 4: After the Encounter, Remove Gloves Safely: To avoid contamination, peel the gloves off from the cuff, turning them inside out. Dispose of them properly if they came into contact with any hazardous substances. Safe removal prevents cross-contamination and keeps your hands clean.
