Are leather powdered lead filled SAP gloves legal and available?

Many years ago a friend lent me a pair to play with. I was impressed. I tested them out by punching a steel door. I bruised a knuckle but put a dent in that door! At the time there was crazy teen age kid vandalizing the neighborhood. He was causing a lot of damage to property.

It ended when his body was found on a dark section of a major trucking highway. He had been run over by vehicles before the body was discovered. The paper reported that he was drunk and had wondered out on the highway. I had a different theory. All's well that ends well.

I returned the SAP gloves to my friend. I think someone beat me to the punch. I never had to use them. I liked the gloves because they looked like normal winter gloves and were comfortable.

X-ray tech gloves? I think it is not so much that possession is going to get you. It will be the using that is going to but you legally.

Better off with things jury’s and police are more familiar with.

This will be interesting to hear. Since brass knuckles are restricted in NE, my guess is that it would not be good to get caught with these after an incident.

But now that coins are hard to find, you can't even carry around a roll of quarters in a sock any more.

I had a friend in the Army who over stepped his authority and was given the infamous "Blanket Party". I heard that they used bars of soap in socks on him. Both of his eyes were hemorrhaged and red but no permanent damage was done. He kept a lower profile after that. Poor guy, I felt sorry for him.

I saw these on line. These are filled with steel balls and a bit obvious. The powdered lead gloves are more discrete.

I still shadow-box with weighted gloves, though I've never hit a person with them.

There are a wide range of gloves on the market. The new MMA gloves allow full finger movement.

Mine are 40 years old and made of leather. The weight is probably lead, but they have never leaked and I've never wanted to break a stitch to see what's inside...

Don't have any gloves but keep a sap in the work SUV. I got it for a steal off Ebay. Yeah I wouldn't want to get hit with it. Is it legal in TX? They have changed laws so I don't know specifically but I believe so. I believe it would fall under laws pertaining to batons. Heck, I walk the dogs most nights with a PR24.
