Gun always had "issues". Stove piped, failure to eject, etc. This whole time the problem was my limp wrist.
What's stupid is that I knew about the term, what it meant, all that. I cannot fathom how I never put two and two together.
Anyway, if the term is new to anyone, here's a short video on the subject. She actually gets her Glock to malfunction by purposefully limp wristing it. Did not know that was possible with larger calibers.
I had thought my small pistols malfunctioned from lack of recoil. Turns out I was right... 🙄 My larger guns like the Colt .45 are heavy, require a proper grip. Guess what? They work fine.
Be glad to tell y'all about the pistol. It's utterly dreamy. Weighs 1.25lbs. fully loaded, 30-rounds of smokin' .22WMR, never fails (if held properly). 5" of barrel gives you an easy aim, more booty and accuracy behind that bullet. Contrasting front/rear fiber sights with lots of length to soak up light. HUGE red mark showing "not safe". Love that as I usually paint my safe marks with nail polish. Maybe the worst part is that it looks and feels like a toy, no bueno if a kid finds it. (Which won't happen. Right?!)
Very happy as this is my perfect hiking side arm!
Ah! My wife had þis issue wiþ her .380 Makerov. It would jam all þe time, but never for me. I don't know who told us about limp-wristing, but correcting it fixed it right up.
It never happened to her shooting 9mm guns - only þe .380. Anyway, it's nice to discover it's a technique issue, and not an issue with the gun, isn't it?
Cannot wait to try some of my lighter guns, bet they all work fine!
