Hush, Josh, don't let anyone hear you blaspheming God's own pistol. Don't you realize that all Glocks are perfect in all ways, for all shooters, and for all uses.
You need to atone for your blasphemy by joining with the others who have posted approved litany that the original poster's problem is entirely his fault for not being able to conform to the all-perfect Glock, especially when he brazenly claims to not have a problem shooting all those lesser pistols.
Thank you.
I don’t think most people are reading the post here, AT ALL...
As I stated: I can pick up a S&W Shield (basically same size as a Glock 43, both single stack CC 9mm pistols) and shoot it using ONLY THE WEB OF MY HAND + 2 FINGERS TO SHOOT THR PISTOL - and it does NOT have any limp wrist malfunctions. Again: it doesn’t have an issue. And yes, I seriously have held it that weakly to test it.
This also isn’t an issue with Beretta 92FS, Sig P226, S&W compact 9mm, and Springfield XD-s 9mm, and a couple of others I believe I tried also.
ONLY the Glocks would constantly jam when shot weak handed (so limp wrist was my first thought) so I then PURPOSELY limp wristed all sorts of pistols from Glocks to Sigs to XD to see if I was correct in that my left handed shooting malfunctions where limp wrist induced - and it turns out, yes, yes they are.
If I put a “death grip” on a Glock 26 or 43 I can properly shoot it as close to 100% as possible with no limp wrist issues. But I’m not going to hold my handgun in a super grip to make it function one handed.
This is not bashing Glocks at all. I simply wanted to know WHY a S&W shield has zero issues (for me) while the Glock 43 will jam every other shot if fired the same way?? I wanted to know is it the recoil spring? Or something about bore axis and grip angle? Or Is it _________ ??? I don’t know. Remember the Shiekd and xds are also polymer single stack 9mm pistols, so it cannot be due to the polymer.. As in all my testing the S&W compact and shield have been 100% and they are polymer, while the Steel framed Sig P226 did have 1-2 malfunctions when I held it super weak (on purpose) but that’s all - I could only induce 1-2 jams at the range on the steel Sig, otherwise it kept shooting fine. While if I picked up the Glock it would happen literally every other round, again only if purposely limp wristing it, as
I’m testing each pistols reliability if shot with a comprised grip or weak grip. - as to me that’s a critical factor in a pistols reliability.
No, Glocks do NOT limp wrist on me if I shoot two handed and with a good grip the Glocks are reliable. But I’m not testing two handed grip. I’m testing weak grip and one handed, as from what I have read that is a very likely possibility to encounter.
Again: this is not an anti-Glock thread. I love Glocks. Which is why I wish I knew what in the world makes them so different (for me) vs other polymer pistols. Thats all. Glocks are great handguns.
