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!

We frequently see this with friends we take to the range, especially the females. They grab a weapon far larger than they can control, typically at the advice of a spouse, and limp wrist it into a FTF.
In every case I give them my browning 1911 .380 (unfortunately recently lost in a boating accident), the problems evaporate and we have a good time plinking around. People will say "your not gonna kill someone with a .380, I would counter that 7 rounds from the .380 result in more damage than one round and a FTF the shooter can't quickly resolve.

I keep trying to shoot those damn sharks too! Why do they always reply by trying to knock me into the water? causing a loss of gun... Its getting fucking expensive i tell ya.

Smart move. I switched her to shooting revolvers so weak wrists wouldnt be a problem and she had a blast.
