I have a question sturm, will limp wristing can cause the slide to ftrb but the slide is stuck? This is whats going on. I bought a brand new G21. After 200 rounds I had a ftrb. The slide was about 1/8" from full reset. There a round in the chamber. I tried to pull the slide back as hard as i can to remove the rounds but it won't move. If I remove the mag same results. The only way i can clear this is to slam the back of the slide with my hand hard until the slide fully resets. Then it fires fine

@MrSalsaspeed That sounds like an ammo problem. Are you shooting reloaded ammo? If not, what type of factory ammo are you shooting? I've only seen this type of failure with reloads or really out of spec factory ammo. Glocks have generous chamber dimensions which makes such failures pretty uncommon.

Whats the point? Don't buy a GLOCK if you shoot like a fag???

My revolver never does this. :)

I'm at a loss...you have proved nothing. Your shooting style in no-way demonstrates a real world shooting scenario. Ammo brand, bullet weight and velocity are just a few of the over-riding factors

involved. Hell, even pump shotguns will fail to cycle properly if not used according to the intended design. Your so-called test is a joke...why don't you demonstrate the proper use of a fire arm and leave that 'limp wristed crap' for those who can't or won't learn responsible firearms handling.

@Flamingcat823 I have over 10,000 rounds through two gen 3 Glocks: the G 34 and G 19, without a single stoppage. And I have ran the 34 harder than shit. Reloads and all. So unless you are referring to the Gen 4, I don't think you know what you are talking about!

Are you firing handloads in these videos? If so, what's the OAL of the rounds? Thanks.

[esh325]

@mikesmith007x Definitive? No. You can find videos of people limp wristing Glock's and they work perfectly fine.

I just purchased a rifle, my father owns a glock (9mm)

I know a lot about firearms, but what exactly is limp wrist shooting? Practice or a test when you're firing unprepared or injured?

Thanks for posting. I have been a Glock fan for many years. I like the fact you showed the 9mm working fine with a firm grip. The minute you "limp wrist" it jams. Great video to show us the only weak point I am aware of on a Glock. Knowledge is power. Instead of yall bitching, thank these guys for giving us more knowledge of a weapon we are counting on to save our lives and defend our families. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for posting. I have been a Glock owner and fan for 10 plus years. My model 21 is a gen 2 and has never failed to fire. I recently bought a model 23 gen 3. The small gun in my large hands (6'1 305 lbs) is more difficult to get a good grip on. I have much more muzzle flip and occasional feed jams. Thought it was the gun or ammo till an instructor at the range suggested my grip. And now to see this video worries me about my wife using this for home defense. I know ammo could problem 2

@kimberHD45 The 2nd reason I don't own one.

@COLT45keith Or if you have a wife and children...

[mikesmith007x]

@phoen1xvine Agreed. You can't go wrong with 3rd gen Smith & Wesson guns. Feels good to know that a limp wrist won't be a problem with my 5906 or 4566 if god forbid I ever have to fire from an injured situation, one handed while fight someone off or if my wife has to pull it from the safe for home defense. Glocks are fantastic weapons but data are data and this video is pretty definitive regarding a gaping weak point in the Glocks. S&W steel all the way!
