Hey guys,  been on the site for a while its my first post in this particular forum.

Went to the range today to run some rounds through my XD40 and my brandy new Glock-23.

Did fine with the XD as I was warming up and then I went to shoot the glock.  It shot well the first couple magazines but then as I was doing some 3 round shots through it with just 3 in the mag.  I had maybe 3 times the glock would fail to return to battery.  naturally I would tap rack and bang (if there was another round).  I have had the glock maybe 4 days and with me being so used to the weight of the XD (29 oz empty) and shooting the new 23 (21.16 oz empty) maybe I was limp wristing it.  I tried stiffining up my grip and wrist and didnt notice it happening anymore.  Is it safe to assume that was the case? or should I be worried.

Just as a note.  I followed the Instruction manual and ran it with the stock grease. I was also using 2 magazines.  It happened twice on one mag once on another.

Yeah, sounds like limp wristing to me; shoot it some more and get back to us.

Two completely different grip angles. Your going to have to adjust your grip angle when changing guns.

Which is why I no longer own a XD and a Glock. Sorry XDm....

Anyways...could be limp wristing. I have never heard of a Glock needed "broke in" so try to hold it a bit tighter and see what happens.
