I've been having recurring FTFs with one of my Glocks where it'd either feed flawlessly or jam every other round for no obvious reason. Same ammo and everything.
I took a crippled female relative to the range today, fired off a mag with zero issues, handed her the gun, and watched it FTF every single round. I took the gun back and emptied the mag with zero feeding issues. Handed the gun back, and the problem returned. I watched her struggle through a few more rounds, took the gun back, and imitated her literally-a-cripple limp-wristed grip. Immediate FTF, exactly the same as I've seen off and on since I bought the gun. I cleared it, tightened my wrists up, and bang - no more problem.
It was super obvious once I saw someone else do it. I should have recorded myself in the past and I'd have spotted this inside of five minutes. I get tired, start using shitty form, and :shockedpikachu: the gun doesnt cycle properly.
I'm pleased as punch to have figured this out!
