Malfunction of a semiautomatic firearm due to improper grip From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
Limp wristing is a phenomenon encountered by semi-automatic pistol shooters, where the shooter's grip is not firm enough and the wrist is not held firm/straight enough to keep the frame of the firearm from traveling rearward while the bolt or slide of the firearm cycles. This condition often results in stovepiping, a type of firearm malfunction.[1]
The functional cause of limp wristing is reduced slide momentum during cycling.[2]
