I find that when the outdoor temp is over 100 degrees F., 4 shots through my double (right, left, right, left) makes the barrels too hot to hold. Since I have a splinter forened, not a beavertail, it is necessary for my fingers to contact the barresl. So my solution has been to use an unlined deerskin glove on my left hand. But wearing only one glove is a bit too much like Michael Jackson behavior for my preference.
