Glock 19 problems

[Eggysrun]

Thanks for the replies guys. I explained this to her last night, I'm a decent shooter but not the best teacher in the world lol. I'm gonna get her enrolled into a class in a few weeks.

I know I'm a little late on this, but does she have really small hands? Mrs. HoneyBadger's hands are too small to hold my G 19 properly. She had an hour long private pistol lesson, and nothing worked for her. She is definitely limp-wristing, but her hands are literally too small to prevent it.

Comfortable for those with smaller hands.

I got her a Diamondback DB9 which has the smallest grip of any 9mm on the market (to my knowledge) and it was so snappy we had the same problem. I think we're going to look at a smaller caliber for her. For home defense, she is really beginning to favor my SBR'd AR, but I want her to have her own pistol that she can shoot comfortably and effectively. I might just get her a .22LR and then move up from there.

I'm thinking a heavier 380 might help. A smaller/lighter pistol would seem to make the problem worse

Another thing to consider regarding "snappiness" What grain rounds you running?
OT somewhat. Have you thought of moving her to a revolver?

Heavier grain loads are typically slower, more controllable, and sometimes subsonic. The difference between 115 and 147 loads is significant. 147 is much more pleasant to shoot.
