Generally I like my shooting gloves to fit a little snug after they're broken in, which means they might feel a little too snug for the first hundred shots or so.  If you feel like you might be in between sizes, I would go with the smaller size.  They will probably let you exchange it for the next size up if it's so tight you don't think it will stretch into shape after you shoot with it for a while.

Like McDave i like mine snug after break in. I order one size to small (medium) then i soke it in warm water then put it on and work in on (strech it out) untill if fits and is mostly dry, it then conforms to my hand and does not strech much after that.

As far as knowing what size for you to order  :dunno:  but most venders here have a good exchange program.

Probably you should call the company that sells them and ask what they think, because different brands of gloves do fit differently.

Other than that, you might want to go to some store that sells general purpose gloves and try some on.  I find that a size medium general purpose glove fits a little tight on my hand, so I would probably buy a large.  I can get the medium on, but it fits a little tight, but that is how I want a new shooting glove to fit, so I would buy a medium in a shooting glove.
