A certain number of problems with semi-autos of all designs can be traced to limp-wristing. Some times it's other issues, like magazine problems or bullet shape. My Kimber has never had a malfunction since brand new, except for when I first bought it I had to swap out the slide stop lever because the slide would lock back on a full magazine. Since then it's been flawless. However, my wife has had a malfunction with the Kimber, which we rectified by having her tighten up her wrists. The only time my USP Compact has ever had a malfunction, I assumed it was a limp wrist problem and tightened up my wrists, and was unable to replicate the malfunction after that.glockowner wrote:if it's human error i can fix it, seems to be the case. is this limpwrist malfunction common on any slide action pistol?
Glocks have an excellent and well deserved reputation for reliability. The 19 may not be ideally suited for your hand size. My USP Compact has a grip extension on the magazine, enabling a full grasp of the pistol with a solid rest for my pinkie finger, and making it easier to control. If you're not able to keep your pinkie finger on the grips under recoil, that might be your problem there. That's a little bit of a problem for me with my Kimber, which is an Ultra sized pistol, but putting some grip tape on the front strap solved that. Maybe your Glock could use a little something to make the grips "grippier" for your hand.
Some times the solutions can be pretty simple, and not require much in the way of money to rectify.
