Sounds to me like they're "limp wristing". This allows the recoil to be absorbed by the arm and elbow(instead of functioning the action).You can do this with a 1911 or any other semi-auto handgun if you try hard enough. Maybe the NYPD should get more training for the sissies amoung 'em.

Based on all the testing they've done on the range I don't believe limp-wristing is the problem. There's a problem in the engineering itself and Glock isn't addressing it. Mr. Glock tends to discourage criticism of his guns, is what I hear. Glock better get on with serious work IMO.

Either that or ammo problems. I've tested most all of the Glock line - with no jams nor other malfunctions.

I'm not enthusiastic about Glocks. Grip ergonomics is poor; bite on recoil common on some models.

GUN REVIEWS free from ad-money bias - emphasizing woman-friendliness of tested guns!

A report on this was made a couple of years ago. Female police were the main ones experiencing this. My wife would also experience it at the range as she got tired.
