9mm or 40 S&W???

If you're so injured that you can limp wrist the gun then I don't think there's much hope you'll survive the encounter. I we could say that an exposed hammer gun is subject to blood and bone blocking the hammer and causing a failure to fire. The potential for a limp wrist stoppage is so remote it's not even worth discussing.

Oh wise one. I have seen it happen with experienced shooters at a major match with Glocks. While infrequent, on Stage 2 of the 2015 WA State IDPA Championships two Glocks jammed up when the shooters attempted to shoot from the weak side of a barrier. The two jams were two of the four Glock malfunctions witnessed by me on that stage over the course of two days. Both of these jams were caused by "limp wristing". The event involved 140 shooters. Not all were shooting Glocks. To answer your next question I witnessed a half dozen 1911's experience various malfunctions unrelated to limp wristing. After nine years of CSOing vaious club and Sanctioned matches one gets to see most everything from various models of firearms. None are immune from malfunctions, ot breakage although some do stand out more than others.

Take Care

Uninjured physically capable people weak wrist handguns all the time. Every shooting scenario is not a standing upright stable platform textbook event. Run numerous people of varying skill sets through live fire and reality based training events enough and you will see all kinds of bizarre shooting platforms and interesting stoppages. With Glocks, the sub compacts like the 27 are particularly prone to weak wrist stoppages, and add a light to the pistol and the fun really begins if you have a tendency to weak wrist on occasion. As for surviving the encounter, mindset is key.
