As the video below demonstrates, most modern guns will not jam even when severely "limp-wristed". The only notable exception to this rule is Glock, which does appear to be sensitive to limp-wristing.

P.S. The Glock used in the video is not defective. The guy who made this video also had several other video that were posted on youtube and for some reason had been removed; in those videos, he fires three different Glocks using both normal and "limp wrist" grip and all three guns work fine with the normal grip but jam when limp-wristed.
 
This proves that the brilliant engineers at Glock optimized their design to prevent unauthorized use by toddlers, midgets with down syndrome and pre-adolescent World of Warcraft gamers.

Damn those guys are good.

The Browning HiPower, the Ruger MkII will fail because of limp wristing as will a 1911.

The two 1911s in the video did not fail. Neither did my Colt Series 80 and Browning BHP when I intentionally tried to limp-wrist them.
 
Is there a better explanation????? I believe Koalorka has it right. The limp wristing function is built into the Glock for safety reasons.

Take Care

Geez, don't intentionally do that to see what happens. :eek: :eek: :eek:

As my mother used to say "don't make that face, it might just stay that way".... :p

I was doing it with a live round in the chamber and a snap cap in the mag. No risk of shooting yourself.

Is the limp wrist a safety feature, what is the downside to a pistol failing the limp wrist test?

The "limp wrist" is not a safety feature (koalorka was speaking in jest). The obvious downside is that if you are wounded and weak from loss blood, or have to shoot from an odd position, or with your weak hand, or find yourself in some other situation where you can't get a proper grip on the pistol, a limp-wristing induced jam could cost you your life.
 
We had a new shooter limp wrist a S&W 745, the only time that pistol ever jammed, the shooter was instructed to take a firmer grip on the pistol and it worked fine after that so it does happen, no myth there.
