love my bw tab.  I'm not sure about you bare finger types like mystic.  I'm good for one or two shots and then I cry like a girl.  Makes practicing barefinger a bit tough with all my buddies laughing at me.

A Bateman split finger cordovan tab for me. Gives me a cleaner release than a glove.

I shot with a glove for years,then tried a tab and never looked back.I get a cleaner release and it's easy to flip out of the way when I need to.

Started with a glove, but didn't really like it.

I switched to a tab about 15 years ago, and have been using one ever since.

The last 6-7 years, I've been using a homemade tab. I took a SAM tab apart for a pattern, and made a couple out of Cordovan.

If they ever wear out, I'll make another, no glove for me.
