Limp Wristing???
Had my Russian Capture out last weekend and I was getting exceptional accuracy with WWB. Gave my friend a couple of mags to try and he had a bunch of FTFeed with the toggle not closing all the way. I took it back and fired another 3 or 4 perfect mag loads. I've never had a problem, but are Lugers particularly susceptible to limp wristing?

Yes they are. The toggle action needs to shove back against a solid wrist in order to function at it's best. No need to strangle the grip, just give it some extra huggin'. No white knuckles.

OK, thanks. I guess he's just a Girly-Man. Seems a bit odd, though, since he actually likes to shoot his Ruger in .454 Casull!

I didn't know that PPK's can have the same problem until I let a friend shoot mine...
I guess I scared him when I warned him that the slide could bite if he gripped it too high up. |

When shooting big bore revolvers you let the gun "roll" in recoil to prevent getting slammed. If you use the same technique for Lugers, they will malfunction.

Limp wristing is a common problem when shooting old Czech M50/M70 pistol in 7,65mm (same principle and design like Walther) and saw it happened few times with Glock 19. Never saw it happened with Czech M75, and saw a thousands of them shoots over years.
