Main thing is not allowing the wrist to "break" when firing. I have to keep my arms flexed up and wrists stay kinda stiff cause I have vision problems. I cannot see the sights on alot of guns with my arms fully extended. Glaucoma problems.
Use to shoot alot of magnum single actions years ago. Sot with arms gully extended and the wrist a little "limp" to allow for the guns to "roll up" during recoil. It was hard to break that habit, but with the eyesight I have now, I have to do it.
Think mkost of it has to do with relaxing the wrist too much. I have one nephew that was taught to "limp wrist" his auto pistol by an old single action shooter. He always has stovepipes in his old Ruger P series 9 mil. I have shot the gun side by side with him with flexed arms and never had a stovepipe with his gun. Difference was he limp wrists the guns and I don't. Tried it with my son too. Same thing. Stovepipes for the nephew and the gun worked fine for my son.
I have a Bersa .380. I shoot it with my arms flexed and wrist stiff. It never has jammed......yet.
