Glock Being Dead Reliable...

[paramud]

I see it all the time, Glocks are damn reliable. I am not debating that when shot properly. I then see that glocks jam when limp wristed. That is fine at the range, but when in self defense, a limp wrist might be the only option.

One handed, on the ground of so and it would be easy to limp wrist.

Would this show that the glock is not reliable?

I feel like you have to have an obscenely weak grip for it to be a problem. I've tried limp wristing my Gen 4 G23 and can't get it to malfunction.

I can do it if I use only a single finger of grip on my G 42. I'll take my chances.

I'd be far worried if it ever didn't work when I have a full grip and proper everything on the range, like other auto pistols I've shot.

Stick to a revolver.

Stick to a revolver.

It is still easier to clear a malfunction in a semi auto than it is to load a revolver after just 6 rounds of shooting.

Honestly, my Glock 23 has a better reliability record than any of the revolvers I own, and the cylinder will lock up on those after a few hundred rounds of shooting unlike the Glock which is almost to 2k without a cleaning and not a single malfunction.

Only people who limp wrist Glocks are people who are inexperienced. I never limp wrist, but I have alot of time behind the gun. You have to have like no tension in your hand/wrist in order to get it to cause a failure. Like a limp noodle, why it's called "limp wristing"

I have 15,000 rounds through my Glock and never had any major issues, no part failures etc. Only part I have had to replace is a recoil spring. Can run it dirty and it still works. I've personally gone up to 4500 rounds dirty with no new oil and the gun still ran fine. Not to say I have never had any failures, because I have. Anything mechanical will have failures. Big picture though, Glocks are extremely reliable, don't require alot of attention, and are very simple.

i couldnt limp wrist my glocks if i tried

[bwhited]

I have shot many 1911s where I have only one finger on the grip and it works every time. Glocks can not do this?

I have tried gripping my glocks all sorts of ways to induce limo wristing and cannot

You need a very weak grip and be jerking down from fear of recoil

I seen a 12 year old limp wrist a glock, maybe OP is talking about after someone runs you over and you are all f##Ked up, and you can barely hold the gun. Maybe that's what he is saying.

Trust me I like my semi auto. Op just complaining about limp wrist, so stick to a revolver if your worried.

Just don't believe everything you read or hear. You have to experience it yourself. Go out to a range and rent one and try it out.

Glocks are like Craftsman tools. They are very reliable and low cost. But if you want something nicer like Snap on or Mac tools, you will have to spend more money and to some people, it is well worth the extra investment.

I think the limp wristing failures are only with certain models of Glock pistols. I doubt the G20 or G21 can be limp wristed.

You can always use your other hand if one hand is hurt.
