Limp wristing??

ddt4free, I know that J.T.King is basically
right. Besides all, I was only saying that
if pistol designer relies on "firm grip"
as means to insure reliable function, and
initial data for design was based on exclusive "use of proper grip/shooting techique", I consider such design to be
a bit bad...just imagine that wounded soldier
can not use second hand, can not lock his elbow and kind of weak because of blood loss.
It's gonna be a very sad story, 'cause he gets killed at the end of the day, but nobody can say nothing about his junky pistol 'cause he suffered from "limp
wristling" factor. Thank you, but I want a better pistol...for example CZ-75. Never heard anybody having problems with this one...where in the hell is the "limp wristling" problem? Guess, Czech guys just
used the right numbers for design input.
 
Oris, I hate to admit this, as I almost choke on these words.... but I limpwristed a brand new CZ-75 which I deem to be one of the most superior handguns ever devised. The pistol had less than 50 rounds through it. I was shooting low recoil federal 115gr. hydrashock hollow points. The slide only needed a slight nudge to get the round into battery but still!. This was embarassing as I was just talking the gun up to friends minutes before. I kept my grip more firm on the following shots with no malfunctions. With around 400 rounds through it now there have been 2 falures to feed(one fmj and one hp) and one falure to eject in the first 150rnds or so. Now that gun is closer to broke in it can't be made to malfunction with any ammo. I think the newness, limpwristing, a stiff new spring, low recoil rounds, cheap dirty ammo, and potentially lubrication issues were all to blame.

Do not let this change your mind about the CZ though. I actually have fired this pistol more accurately with unaimed rapid fire than with aimed fire at a moderate pace. As I am cross dominant, I was so happy about this I nearly burst. It is THE natural pointer for my hand but your results may vary. I just get a warm feeling inside when I think about that gun. It's like sitting in a favorite recliner drinking your favorite beverage watching your favorite program while your favorite person massages your feet and tells you how good you are in the sack. Not quite as good as sex but pretty damned close. All of my friends like differant guns and can never agree on the feel of any gun except this one. They all love to hold and shoot this one. ddt
 
ddt4free,

I was able to "limp wristle Ruger" MKII (MK-4B) - was holding it so loose, it managed to fail to eject a couple of times on 100 rounds or so...Because I do like to shoot "free style" - screw the proper grip, just
to play and shoot anything from tiny objects to empty 200 litres barrel from the hip, I ended up with modifying the recoil spring, cutting it's tension approx. 15%. Now my shorty Ruger works like a Swiss clock no matter how I hold it...
