Limp wrist malfunctions with Glock pistols

[Speedgelb986S]

Great explanation in the video. This is why I finally got rid of my Kahr PM9. I could make it function properly, but only by holding it in what was more or less a "death grip." I've had zero FTF's or FTE's in any of my large frame handguns--Glock 24 and 34, S&W Model 39, Beretta 92FS, and Springfield Range Officer--regardless of how loosely or tightly I grip them. YMMV.

My wife was having problems with limp wristing her G19 shooting one handed with her week hand. We got her straightened out though. Without a doubt, in classes I see the most malfunctions in the XD series of pistols. This is mostly attributed to the grip safety.

The grip safety is one of several reasons I don't like the XD pistols.

I love my XDM but i agree the grip safety scares me. If i were to get in a struggle i may not be able to have a perfect grip...

they can all be limp wristed, but most the time its a short barrel 1911 that the owner blames on limp wristing, ive never had limp wristing problums, i simplely just hold on to my gun.

I'll third that, they are awesome but don't fit everyone

Personally I love glocks and have not had any issues with them, but I do agree that glocks are not for everyone.

ya ive picked one up before you got to give that thing a squeeze. and i think i limp wristed it, first polymer gun i ever fired there so light compared to grandpas 1911.

What he means is that if you buy a Glock, that you are a limp wristed failure.

Actually what he said was that if you are a limp wristed mamby pamby man you should not buy a glock.

I have never had a problem in that area.

+1. Limp wrist and all, they'll run with 14# springs.

I have a G30 that I cannot make jam, but have a G17C that will stovepipe 10/10 if not properly held.

Yes, but the slide will give that frame a real beating...

Better to run a stiffer spring and a stiffer grip...
