I can always spot the IDPA shooters that have learned proper grip, and probably couldn't "limp wrist" if they wanted to. A police instructor from a nearby town shoots nothing but .40, and was bothered by the change in recoil time when he tried a 9mm.
On the other hand, I have disposed of my .40 loaner, and only use 9mm for beginner and '"unknown" students and visitors, because what is no big deal for you and me can be overwhelming to a neophyte. A few quickly developed a flinch THIS BIG, that I moved them to a M&P .22 to settle down and learn the basics.
