I always give a firm handshake, but I temper that by the person with whom I am shaking hands. If I'm shaking hands with some tiny slip of a girl, I will give a handshake that feels firm to them, not to me. I may well be giving an -almost- limp handshake in that situation, but seeing as I'm likely much bigger than they are, I trust it won't come off that way.
On the other hand, if I'm shaking hands with a 40 year old ex-army sergeant, I will probably have my hand rather firm. In my experience, so will they in this situation, so I'm probably just matching expectations.
