What happens when you "limp wrist" a 1911?

DRLaw-

Yes sir, Three Brothers is still there and I go to that Glenwood gun shop every so often to shoot.

1911Tuner-

Thats pretty much exactly what is happening. Not only on the last round. Sometimes second to last.

What about if it does that with live rounds and misfeeding?

I've had THAT happen with Winchester White Box and both my Kimber factory mag and a Wilson.

I admit I was not using a very good grip before and it happened quite a bit (also was within Kimber's first 500 rounds 'breakin'). I adjusted my grip and stance and basically went from about dropping the 1911 after a shot to telling it where I wanted it to go and what to do. Since doing that I haven't had the problem at all.

I've never had a problem when I "limp-wristed" my 1911's. Jamming has only occurred when I had issues with ammo, mags or worn ejectors.

Try a lighter recoil spring if you suspect "limp wristing" is the problem. I'd look at the mags & extractor if that doesn't cure it.

If your 1911 is a 45, it will most likely break your wrist, if limp wristed

I am surprised no one yet has suggested "Get a Glock" lol .....

Glocks are the most sensitive guns for limp wristing failures. My 10yr old son can get my G19 to stovepipe everytime he shoots it. The ammo is downloaded also, so its not entirely the Glocks fault, but my CZs never jam with the same ammo.

"Limpwristing" is an attempt for manufacturers to pass problems off as user error so they don't have to actually take in returns of defective guns.

Limpwrising is user error, and can cause a perfectly good gun to stovepipe a case.
