Glocks (and some other lighter semis) are bad about stove-piping or failing to go to battery when they don’t have a solid grip for the action to work against and counteract the inertia from the slide.
Exactly and something I would bet many don't think about until it happens. It is the kind of thing that could get you killed in a self defense situation. The 2-3 seconds it takes to recognize and clear a stovepipe is 2-3 seconds too long.

In 1996 I was forced to shoot with my left hand and I am right handed. Got off two rounds and the case from the second round did not fully eject. Fortunately that was enough to cause my attackers to flee. I am sure it was due to "limp wristing". Just after that I started practicing with left handed firing. I now have a much better control of the firearm. I think any hand gun will do this if limp wristed and in the heat of a real confrontation, it is easy to make mistakes.
