I bought a new S&W M&P 9 EZ last week from Sportsman's Warehouse in Phoenix. I wanted a .380 or 9 mm and had to settle on the 9. None of the places I looked at had any pistol ammo so, why buy a gun I can't use. I had about 1000 rounds of 9 mm on had from when I shot centerfire guns. I had to give them up do to a possible move to assisted living and they did not allow guns.
I picked up the last 9 mm handgun they had in the store. There was a line behind me of over 50 disappointed people that were going to have to settle on something else.
I finally got to shoot the EZ today at our local indoor range. The outdoor range closed do the virus and should open again tomorrow after figuring out a way for people to stay 10 feet apart and how to clean their hands when done shooting.
So, I loaded up my two magazines with American Eagle 124 grain bullets. I have a lot of this in my safe and will be replenishing it from sales on-line.
The EZ lives up to it's name and the advertisement from Smith And Wesson.
It was EZ to load the magazines, easy to see the 3-dot sights and recoil was surprisingly easy. I fired 50 rounds and am pleased with my purchase. At 10 and 15 yards I am able to keep all my shots in the 10 ring of a Bianchi target.
Taking the gun apart was no exception to the rule. Racking the slide back ( something I have had a problem with lately do to arthritis) was no effort. Cleaning was easy and I got the gun into most new condition. This is a keeper.
Designed for women or the old feeble ( like me ) the Shield EZ 9 is a winner in my opinion.
