(Virgil Caldwell for TTAG)īut that’s not the only EZ feature. The M&P9 SHIELD EZ features rear cocking “ears” for an easy rack slide and a top tactile loaded chamber indicator. In fact, it’s almost exactly the same size as the earlier. The subcompact 9mm SHIELD EZ is a good size for concealed carry and control in firing. This pistol offers a baseline for wound potential I am much more comfortable with. Hence the new 9mm Luger version of the EZ pistol. The only drawback: many of us have serious reservations about the effectiveness of the. 380 is a very easy-handling, easily concealed handgun. That means a lighter recoil spring that’s much easier to manipulate. Smith & Wesson achieved the ease of racking the new 9mm version SHIELD EZ by using an internal hammer design, rather than a striker-fired action.
The thing is, all of those claims are true. The EZ design is even touted as being easier to clean.
That means easy to load magazines, easy racking of the Armornite-coated stainless steel slide, easy field stripping, and modest recoil. The purpose of the original SHIELD EZ design was to offer a pistol that’s easier to use at every level for those who may have struggled with semi-automatic handguns before. The M&P9 SHIELD EZ has some M2.0 improvements in the form of excellent sights (dovetailed white-dot front sight and adjustable white-dot rear sights), small forward cocking serrations, and improved stippling on the grips.
