Smith & Wesson M&P 380 SHield EZ

[RaleighReloader]

Interesting new offering from Smith & Wesson:

In short: a Shield-sized M&P that is chambered for .380. Instead of the stupid lever safety, they've gone to a backstrap safety (sort of like a 1911). The "EZ" in the name suggests that it's easy to rack the slide; a common gripe among shooters with smaller hands.

Thoughts? I've been absolutely delighted with my 9mm Shield, and my love affair with my Glock 42 makes this a tempting gun to add to the herd, since I'm finding that I really enjoy shooting .380.

Geez I thought I had seen it all. Interesting but strange at the same time.

Makes a lot of good sense to me. Smith & Wesson will now have a gun sized slightly larger than the Glock 42, that will be as easy (if not easier) to rack. That will attract buyers that find 9mm offerings too difficult to handle.

You thread is not as popular as the other one. I'm sorry.

A great nightstand gun, unless your nightstand does not have AIDS.
