I've found the sizing to run true. Any of the crossovers are great gloves.

I have a Big Shot Crossover and it's the best glove I've ever had .

I like the standard bigshot. You can send American Leathers a trace of your hand and they will get you in the correct size. Don't think when you get it and its tight that it's to small. They will loosen up after a little bit of using them. If you buy,one,to big it'll stretch a little and it will be loose.

Send them your tracing. I got one a couple weeks ago and it is a fine glove for sure.

I'd say they run pretty close to true,maybe just a little on the small side... and x3 on sending a tracing.

Like others have said send John Turner a hand tracing. He will hook you up with the proper sizing. The best part is he will file your tracing for future orders. I have very narrow fingers. So they stitch my finger stalls a little tighter. Best gloves I have ever used !!!

I love my kangaroo crossover. Tough, comfortable,  non stretch, virtually no break in. You should talk to him about the advantages of 'roo

I really like mine.  I shoot the Kangaroo, and it is a great performer.  

I can't imagine a better glove.  I have John make mine with medium size width and XL length on the stalls.  I have 2 of them and am thinking of getting a 3rd just in case there's a civil war here and Kangaroo leather gets hard to come by.

Nice gloves.  I have a different glove in kangaroo leather, and love it.

Based on my experience, the only sure way to get the size you want is to try them on.

I sent in a trace of my hand.  One finger was way too big.  Sent it back with a new  trace.  Same finger was way too small.  I wound up giving it away.

Trying them on at an event, the sizes could vary a lot.  With some a large was too big, others an XL was too small.

Not a knock on AL.  Leather is an inconsistent medium to work with.  Different sewers will vary a bit.  And I'm very picky about how my glove fits.

I bought another, but only after I could try it on first.

I sent a hand trace to the previous owner and he put me in a large. I shot that glove for a few seasons. Went to a Damascus and a Neat after that both were mediums. I then went back to my Bigshot. Then ordered a new Bigshot in medium from 3 rivers made by the current owner and it fits way better than the large. You can do the hand trace thing but I think people tend,to,run the side of the peril or pen along there hand and actually make the hand look bigger than it is you would be fine with getting a medium.

My best glove for sure.  I wear large gloves, but sent a tracing in and they sent a large crossover.

After a few years it has stretched a little bit but no problem with the fit.  I strap it a little tighter around the wrist and it still works fine.

If you don't want to send a tracing for some reason, if I were you I'd order a medium and try it for fit.
