All of the current models feel at least 1/4" longer than other brands.
Yes! That's perfect for me. On most gloves I have to settle for either a sloppy fit overall or my fingertips bulging the gussets. First time I wore one of my current pairs (14" AK27s or TPS Slava Kozlov returns, can't remember which one) I got a stinger on a finger when a defender's stick missed my stick and got my hand instead.
