Doesn’t limp-wristing a Glock cause a FTE? Sounds like a training issue.

Limp wristing most semiautos, not just Glocks, will get you a stovepipe or other FTE.

Sorry to spoil the glock bash... but any auto can jam.
Causes include

Climatic Conditions (very cold ammo does not work as well)
Poor Maintenance
Bad Ammo (under or over charged)
Poor Shooter stability (limp wristing)
This is NOT a comprehensive list
all of these can be worked on, but all autos CAN jam.

Most semi auto pistols are subject to what you call limp wrist syndrome! Holding the gun to loosely will cause the slide to function poorly and cause jams. Not all autos have this problem but many do.

The officer continued to fire after being hit several times. He successfully cleared the malfunction and continued to fire.

MPD’s actions are from caution.

It can with other makes. I was taught to "limp wrist" a revolver, keeping my arms taught. The guy who taught me said to do that, allow the revolver to kick up, and then drop back onto target. It worked OK with revolvers, but the when I bought an automatic, it kept jamming. Two gun smiths couldn't duplicate the problem when they shot it. Neither could the third, but he asked to see me shoot. It jammed on about the third shot. He laughed, and told me to keep my wrists stiff, otherwise the pistol would fail to extract. It never jammed again.
