Tight grip is good, but is she gripping it as high as possible? Not leaving any gap between her hand and the beavertail?

I really hate seeing statements like this.  As a female shooter, I do understand that there are several females that "limp wrist" while shooting, but some instruction on proper grip and stance can correct this issue.  I have seen many male shooters limp wrist as well.  It is more a situation of improper body mechanics and having a grip too large for hand size than a gender issue.

Ram Ringer:
Thanks for the input, I have a feeling it is coming down to her grip and stance. She has several issues she has to over come. For one she is right handed but left eyed dominate. I had her try shooting left handed but her left hand was too weak. I may need to have her go through a class sometime. She does not like to listen to me or her dad when we try to (nicely) get her to change her stance or grip.

Thanks again

Galen

My wife saw that too, she was less than impressed.

DaveB:
What you might try is going to something like a 22 semi for a while, what that may do is teach better handling and grip.

I tend to not think it is so much limp wristing anyway since I don't have a Glock that won't cycle no matter how tight it's held. You might try a different brand of ammo. I know three different people can shoot one of my Glocks and the brass will go in three different directions.
