There are a lot of police involved shooting videos out there such as the one linked above. In these shootings there seem to be an uncomfortable amount of instances where the officer's handgun jams, evidently due to limp wristing. In real life situations a proper grip can't always be made. Why don't police departments issue weapons that are going to function in any situation?
Even a glock with a hotter round like a .40 seems to mitigate limp wristing by a lot.

Well, there's your problem.
In seriousness though, police departments issue what's cheapest. That can obviously lead to reliability issues, not every cop will be equipped with an HK USP. Then factor in that many cops don't properly clean and lubricate their guns, plus unsurprisingly awkward weapon handling due to high stress situations.
funny enough I bought my USP 45 off a cop right before they "ended" peer2peer sales in WA.
Such a good gun.
>not every cop will be equipped with an HK
Almost all European police agencies are equipped with the HK SFP9 TR which is a police version of the VP9.
Don’t American police have way bigger budgets?
Can't cut into the donut allocation for something as piddly as sidearms
>shit capacity for a full size handgun
>expensive gun/magazines
>have to buy adapter rail for modern WMLs
>doesn’t come with night sights despite being $1000+
>still susceptible to limp wristing
>supporting dirty HK israelites
Yeah, how about no. If you’re insisting on HK at least use a modern variant like the VP9/P30.
That doesn't look like a limp wrist, I'm betting he was accidentally pushing the slide release up and locking the slide back.
>>shit capacity for a full size handgun
>>no factory option for milled slide when RDS are taking over/proven to be superior to irons
None of those two things matter if the gun doesn't work reliably. Also, this video is another one for my folder of "why paddle mag releases are superior", because it looks like the first cop accidentally dropped his mag, unless he had a tactical reason for only firing 10 rounds before suddenly ejecting the magazine.
So is the USP magically not susceptible to limp-wristing unlike every tilting barrel polymer framed handgun in existence?
Limp wrist malfunctions are a problem among striker-fired pistols, so it wouldn't affect the USP. Other user-induced malfunctions like accidentally pushing the slide release up would also be avoided because the officer would understand that he is blessed to be carrying a HK, and thus would put more personal hours in to train with it to be properly worthy of carrying such a weapon.
4th video when you YouTube limp wrist failure is a guy inducing one on a 1911 you fricking moron
That's a 1911 though. Can you be sure the failure came from the limp wrist and not the magazine, feed ramp, ammo type, too tight of tolerances, too loose of tolerances, or whether the gun was oiled in the last 24 hours?
jesus christ does every bit of your gun knowledge come from half-decade old reddit and quora threads?
>Limp wrist malfunctions are a problem among striker-fired pistols
This board is slowly making me more moronic just by being exposed to nonstop Dunning-Kruger effects, I can feel it
>shit capacity for a full size handgun
Maybe if American cops were trained to aim rather than magdumping into the perp, nearby bystanders, fellow officers and Aunt Petunia's begonia vase?
Maybe if American cops were trained to de-escalate rather than escalate and then commence magdumping as the preferred option?
Maybe if American cops were trained?
Yeah a lot of American cops suck, this isn’t a bootlicker board for the most part. Still, I’m not going to put myself at a disadvantage because some eurocuck on here thinks 15 rounds in a full size “modern” handgun is acceptable.
Also
>no factory option for milled slide when RDS are taking over/proven to be superior to irons
Maybe if HK would swallow their fricking pride and get with the times it’d be a viable option for a modern police department.
>HK USP
deeply ironic post but hardly the first time I've seen this particular moronic decision. 9mm USPs are actually one of the more limp wrist prone handgun designs, they frequently weren't even reliable out of the box. The USP is one of few examples of a handgun where 9mm was shoehorned into a .40S&W design instead of the opposite. Hence the internal slide cut outs to reduce the reciprocating mass. This resulted in a design which is marginally reliable in 9mm, too much dirt, poor form, or weaker ammo frequently results in reliability issues with them. They're absolute tanks in .40 and .45 though.
start these threads with a webm OP
you're lucky I'm nice right now (had to switch to an unbanned IP)
Fixed
Why is this webm so fake? What's really going on here?
How do I not limp wrist? My friend bought one of those grip strength measurement things after seeing some dipshit on YouTube go around and ask people to use it, and mine was 225lbs. It seems impossible that I should limp wrist, but I am certain I am.
Limp wristing isn't about your grip, it's about your wrists. If you're deathgripping the gun but your wrists are noodles, you still risk a limp wrist malfunction. Learn to lock your wrists when shooting and you avoid the problem.
>half-decade old reddit and quora threads
That's just five years, dude. Might as well be yesterday in terms of firearms knowledge and popular opinions.
Don’t grip the gun as tight as possible, just a nice firm grip and kind of push forward/into the grip with your dominant hand.
Was fixed with the gen 5s extractor and ejection port changes. Any proof to the contrary? I'd honestly like to see it if so.
