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.

Sounds to me like they're "limp wristing".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.

"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)." 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.

My wife would also experience it at the range as she got tired.
