Shooting Safety Glasses
I am looking to purchase new shooting glasses, and I was curious to see if anyone had a preference on eyewear and why? I have a tough time finding glasses that fit correctly, as I have a smaller face. So, if anyone knows of any that come in different sizes or that run smaller, that would be a plus. Thanks.

I have aviator glasses, and a few straglers one I actually picked up at Home Depot, Pretty soon I plan on going prescription, that is as soon as I find an Optomotrist that understands my reasoning for wanting to see clear at 24 to 36 inch.

Re: Shooting Safety Glasses
Make sure that the "glasses" are to the ANSI spec and that they fit your face. Worry about style later, go to Home Depot and Lowe's to see what is commercially available.

Re: Shooting Safety Glasses
Your glasses are life support equipment. I use Oakley M Frames or XXs (Twenties), and here's why:
At a job I once had, my boss asked me my opinion on the eyewear the Army had authorized for protective use. Aside from the fact that no unit I had been in had been so fortunate to recieve the approved eyewear, I found an article from a magazince for private aviators that had reviewed most of the commonly available name brand glasses.
They had determined that Oakleys had the highest optical clarity of any of the glasses they tested. Other information I had gathered indicated that for many of the glasses, only the lenses had the appropriate ballistic rating, whily all Oakley lenses AND frames have the necessary protective credentials.
At one time I used hardware store safety glasses, and they were probably good enough. And yes, I know, Oakleys are expensive. But you only have one set of eyes.
I have also heard good things about Rudy Project. They are particularly popular with people who wear prescription glasses. The reviews I've heard on the prescription Oakleys were along the lines of "good but not great."PREPARE FOR BATTLE

I just keep my bifocals on. I remember the time I was shooting my .45, and a shell got stuck between my face the the lense. That was smarts, and left a small red mark for a couple days.

Re: Shooting Safety Glasses
I'm a Wiley-X wearer. The glasses and lenses are ANSI rated, the lenses are interchangable, I've glot clear, amber, and smoked, so I can use them indoors, low light, and outdoors, as well as doubling as my sunglasses. As someone else stated, they're a bit more expensive than Home Depo, or Lowes, but I feel they're worth it.
