LIMP WRIST vs. NEW EJECTOR - GLOCK 27

[351 WINCHESTER]

I bought a new gen 3 19 & right off the bat I got stovepipes & brass to my face. I was accused of limp wristing right her on THR. I sent the gun back to glock & they sent it back with no explination. I took it out & shot it & it did the same darn thing. I called them again & they sent me another prepaid fedex label. This time they replaced the ejector from a 336 to a 30274 as I recall & the problem was solved. I suspect they replaced the extractor too, but I have no way of knowing, because glock is never going to admit to a mistake.

I ..... but I have no way of knowing, because glock is never going to admit to a mistake.

Funny no "limp wristing" advice needed for 45acp, 357mag and all the other rental range guns tried over the years, have been hunting since a kid.

re: 351 Winchester: Agreed! My 7 year old G27 went to factory last Spring since it didn't like Fiocchi FMJ + ejection/feed problems made it unreliable - which others have reported as well in Glock 40 versions - they fixed all that with new factory guts, included 4 spent Fiocchi brass as proof, only reported an invisible cracked frame and disdain for 3rd party guts (most ripped out, damaged & replaced). Ergo, I must agree with someone that said Glocks work best w/o tweaking them, so only allow factory to change the guts. If that's the mantra, then its trigger I will forever avoid.

I am tempted to stick with this Glock another 6 months, since trade-in = 1/2 price + $0 for all the extras, then Gunbroker sales is a hassle with similar low cash back. Worse case would be a) trade-in + b) eBay the extras.

I watched the video and I've seen such demonstrations before.
How do I know there isn't something wrong with that gun?
Im sure it's possible a malfunction could happen this way, but doesn't seem likely.
Im not going to argue you can't induce a malfunction but I don't think that's the same thing as the gun malfunctioning with a weak , inexperienced grip.
The shooter in the video is deliberately allowing the gun to be completely loose in their hand. I don't think that's what an inexperienced shooter is going to do over and over again. If an inexperienced shooter shot with that loose a grip they would prob stop shooting after the first shot as they would feel line the gun was going to jump out of their hand.
When the criticism of "limpwristing" is leveled on forums like this , it's usually referring to people who have at least shot a gun before. I doubt any of the posters who have ejection problems are holding the gun this loosely. These posters are getting repeated malfunctions while trying to improve their shooting. Again, I doubt they are repeatedly shooting the way the video shows. I don't believe that the realatively flexible wrist action inexperienced shooters might use should be responsible for this kind of malfunction on a combat weapon. It would just be too easy to shoot it incorrectly in an abnormal situation.
Let's also remember that when it is stated it's because the glock is such a "lightweight gun" , the frame contains a usually full magazine which should have weight to provide enough inertia to the frame compared to any other auto pistol.
Also, I HAVE tried to duplicate this malfunction with four different glocks. I have never been able to get mine to malfunction, EXCEPT when I had a damaged extractor or using hugely extended magazines.
Maybe I'm too manly to limp wrist enough, even one handed?
I accept that it's possible to induce a malfunction with a deliberately incorrect or extremely inexperienced incorrect grip. I don't think it's very likely poor grip will repeatedly cause a malfunction unless something is wrong with the pistol.
In the cases we see posted on these forums I think it is really unlikely that limowristing is the cause of repeated problems.

Seen it enough times. Some people hold pistols like their going to break it. Experienced shooters don't have this problem and some refuse to believe it exists. Hold a Glock, or other really lightweight pistol, like your scare of it and shoot it, see what happens.

If you are a moderately experienced shooter and are having FTF or other cycling problems, it probably isn't "limp-wristing".

It's pretty hard to limp wrist a .40 Glock. I'd look into troubleshooting parts if I saw one doing BTF or malfs.

9mm on the other hand, with weakish ammo, is pretty easy to get to fail.
