This video tests seven semi-automatic handguns for reliability when subjected to a 'limp wrist' shooting technique. The M1911, Beretta 92FS, Beretta PX4 Storm, and Glock 17 all experienced significant malfunctions, including failures to feed, extract, and eject. The CZ-75 D, SIG P210-6, and FN Hi-Power demonstrated better reliability under these conditions, with the CZ-75 D and FN Hi-Power locking open on the last round.
This video debunks the common 'limp wrist' theory by testing Glock pistols under intentionally loose grip conditions. Both a Glock 22 (.40 S&W) and a Glock 43X (9mm) demonstrated reliable cycling without malfunctions, even when shot sideways or dual-wielded. A Rock Island Armory XTM-22 in .22 Magnum, however, experienced failures, suggesting the theory might apply differently to less robust firearms or specific ammunition types.
This video demonstrates and explains the 'limp wrist' malfunction in Glock pistols using 1000 FPS slow-motion footage. It details how a loose grip prevents the slide from cycling properly, leading to failures to feed and eject (stovepipes). The analysis highlights the importance of a firm grip for reliable firearm operation.
This video conducts a malfunction test, specifically focusing on 'limp wristing,' for two popular semi-automatic pistols: the FN FNP-45 and the Springfield Armory XDM 9mm. The test aims to demonstrate how improper grip (limp wristing) can induce failures to feed or eject in these firearms. The description also includes a call to action for viewers to support the creator on Patreon and promotes another video about a BCM Mk12 rifle with an AEM5 silencer.
This video tests the 'limp wristing' phenomenon on several semi-automatic pistols. Glocks (17 and 21) demonstrated significant malfunctions with a loose grip, failing to cycle properly. In contrast, the HK USP Tactical and S&W 5906 showed high reliability, functioning consistently even with a limp wrist grip. This highlights how firearm design and recoil impulse management affect performance under suboptimal shooting techniques.
