swampwolf,
with this in mind you should stick with longer slide, slower rate of fire weapons. ANY self loader, especially the newer and often double recoil spring fast shooting guns can be limp wristed.
M&P, XD, Glock, Sig (example given above) can fail to feed if it does not have enough to "push against"
Well, that's not been my experience with the pistols I rely on for self-defense, among those which are Smith Models 6906 and 4006, an HK USP 40, a SIG 220, a CZ 85 and a Beretta 92. After years of hearing about the "limp wrist" phenomena, I took all of the aforementioned pistols to my range last fall and, over a two day period, tried to induce one of them to malfunction with the most girly grip I could acquire without losing my grip altogether during recoil. Every one of them fired through at least three magazines loaded to the hilt, without incidence. The one pistol that did seem sensitive to being held lightly in terms of malfunctioning was a SIG 2340 Pro. I no longer own it and, if I still did, it would be relegated to range duty.
I have no long-term experience with the Glock pistol and never identified it by brand name in my previous post-I guess when "limp-wristing" is being discussed, the Glock pistol is
implied as being a culprit. Actually, the only times I have shot the Glock pistol has been at the range, shooting a friend's Model 19 (he likes them so well that he owns three 19s), and neither he nor I experienced any problems at all. I decided I didn't like the Glock
trigger but that is neither here nor there with respect to the "limp-wrist" factor. Though the pistol never jammed, we were shooting at the range and were able to acquire the "perfect" grip for each shot. I don't know how the Glock would have performed with a sissy grip-we never tried.
It's probably true that
any semi-auto pistol can be made to malfunction if one tries hard enough to make it happen-but that's not my point. I'm saying that I will not trust my life to any pistol design that has a reputation for jamming when it isn't being held "just so"-no matter the brand, even the one that bills itself as being perfection personified.
