the question I have is can you wear a wrist band while shooting. The wrist band is the kind used for preventing injuries, about 4 inches long with a diameter of about 3 inches.

thank you

Not on the shooting hand under ISSF. See ISSF rule 8.4.2.1.1 :-

"Neither the grip nor any part of the pistol may be extended or constructed in any way that would allow it to touch beyond the hand. The wrist must remain visibly free when the pistol is held in the normal firing position. Bracelets, wristwatches, wristbands, or similar items are prohibited on the hand, and arm, which holds the pistol."

Ok, how about a soft fingerless glove which does not cover the wrist?

My interpretation of 8.4.2.1.1 is that you cannot wear a glove on the shooting hand for pistol.

You can however have a hand cover that doesn't cover the wrist for 50m Pistol under rule 8.4.5.2

Better question is why would you want to wear a glove on your shooting hand? What do you think the wearing of a glove will do for you?

Hypothetical, maybe getting people to read the rule book...

Perhaps for a similar reason that some rifle shooters now wear a glove on the shooting hand (?)
