![]() (You're going to have to start another thread in order to find out how to cure limp-wristing a pistol. You, probably, don't realize it but the way you describe this problem it is, in all likelihood, a combination of both limp wristing and under-powered ammo that is causing the problem. (There is no question in my mind that the slide is, 'short cycling' on your G-19 - OK!) Here is Wolff Gunsprings' Glock home page:Īre you, 'limp-wristing'? With a Glock's: relatively straight grip angle, lightweight polymer frame, and very fast slide cycle speed, 'limp-wristing' is a ridiculously easy gripping mistake to fall into.Įven after more than 50 years of pistol shooting, sometimes when I'm tired I'll occasionally, 'break' my wrist on a shot and cause the, 'next bullet up the magazine' to fail to feed. They're of, 'non-captured' design and allow fast 'n easy spring swaps with no small end-screws to have to worry about losing. I, also, use Wolff's NP3 coated steel guide rods in all of my Glocks. You can get 17# springs from Wolff Gunsprings. When shooting Wal-Mart’s crappy, 'range quality' ammo you're probably going to be better off with a 17# ('reduced power') recoil spring. On newer G-19's (including many high prefix lettered Gen3 pistols) the recoil spring weight has been increased to 18#'s. I regularly shoot, 'a ton' of Remington, 'Green Box' (UMC) ammo - Wal-Mart, right! The recoil springs on older G-19's are 17#'s. What generation is your G-19? How experienced a pistol shooter are you? How much range time do you have with other Glock pistols? If you limp wrist it while firing, you can make the gun jam every shot regardless of the ammo. The Walther PPK is a straight blow back pistol. The last thing is the way you are shooting the gun. Now I have a G&B Cable Boss and it works great. Disassemble, clean completely then re lube. You've left out a lot of relevant information that prevents anyone from doing anything other than guessing inside this thread. The first time I tried a Romex stapler it sucked. (Probably necessitated by the polymer frame's, 'harmonic vibrations' that occur whenever one of these pistols is fired.) Am I just ignorant to the possibility of 'limp wrist' as the cause I dont buy that for a minute. It uses a modified Browning lockup that is one of the loosest barrel lockup designs I've ever seen on any pistol. Well, I listened politely and as nice as I could I told him that I was convinced 'limp wrist' was not the cause of these malfunctions and I wanted Taurus to look at the pistol. The slide & barrel together can move back & forth slightly on the frame and still be Completely in Battery.Old thread, but I'll give it a try: First, there's nothing wrong with your Glock 19. Possible batch of bad primers too as one poster mentioned and I wasn't thinking about. when the pistol is not firmly held, the recoil lacks a firm wall to stop against before completing the cycle. what allows such a jam to happen is the flexibility of the polymer frame. I see no reason for sporadic light strikes in a semi-auto pistol, unless perhaps the mainspring is broken or there is something in the striker channel obstructing movement. i think an all steel frame such as on the 1911 and the browning high power are not susceptible to limp writs jam. Question is, what's causing the condition. Get a good grip position with your support hand. THE LIGHT STRIKES ARE A RESULT OF THE SLIDE BEING OUT OF BATTERY. First, with your strong hand make sure that you are as high under the beavertail or back of the gun under the slide as you can get. BTW I do not own a Glock and have no plans to acquire one. ![]() Calgunners and gun culture people might get the correct info. I think it was limp wrist, but might have been a mag problem, bad rounds or even something that blocked the firing pin from hitting the primer. The gun is so designed that the striker/firing pin is exactly long enough for it to give a sufficient blow to the primer only when the slide is in full battery. Every gun can jam, misfire ,stove pipe or otherwise FTF. I don't know if you're following me on this.I hope you are. ![]() I did this using a primed case, no powder or bullet naturally, and fed the round manually & slowly and held the slide out of battery by a little bit and a little bit more ( You get the idea). In toying around with this I noted that if the slide is out of battery even the slightest, the striker will fall, but hit the primer off center, like a 22 rimfire strike. The extractor is offering up some resistance (I noted this) and the recoil spring is unable to force the slide fully into battery. We were told at the show that shipments were to begin immediately after the NRA Show. ![]() This is the new single stack magazine, 9mm pistol that has been long awaited. Click to expand.I think that a lax grip causes the slide to lose velocity/momentum, both ways (initial rearward movement and then a soft return as well). Soon after attending the NRA Annual Meeting and show in Nashville this past spring, I had the opportunity to handle the new Glock 43.
