This guide details a reliability test for the 'limp wrist' theory, a common claim that loosely holding a handgun causes jams. The test, conducted by GHG Hussle, involved a Glock 22 (.40 S&W), Glock 43X (9mm), and a Rock Island Armory XTM-22 (.22 Magnum) on an Outdoor Shooting Range. The Glocks demonstrated consistent reliability even with a limp wrist grip, while the XTM-22 experienced multiple malfunctions.

Quick Summary

Based on testing by GHG Hussle, limp wristing does not appear to cause Glocks, such as the Glock 22 and Glock 43X, to jam. These firearms demonstrated reliable cycling even when held loosely during the test, unlike the Rock Island Armory XTM-22 which experienced malfunctions.
