A good deal has been said about the EZ series being for ladies and older shooters with grip issues, but this overlooks a very important strength of these pistols. Anyone who regularly includes one-handed strong hand/weak hand drills in their practice sessions probably realize that any semi-auto designed with a lighter racking system could be a major plus in the event that one hand is disabled or fending off an assailant. Another excellent option for self-defense loads is Underwood Xtreme Defender, which is barrier blind and - because of its lighter monolith bullet - offers easier recoil management than conventional HP. (But heed S&W’s recommendation and avoid +P loads.)

I know this is late, but I actually bought the Performance Center version of this .380. I work at a gun store and actually talked to a Smith Wesson rep, and was told all Shield pistols are designed to handle + P loads.

As a senior with progressive hand issues, this gun is just great for me on days I can't handle one of my 9mm as CCW. I plan on trying the 9mm EZ as well. Since my hand issues are progressive this could end up as my only CCW choice. If the 9mm EZ works out I'll get one of those as well as I'm still trying to talk my wife into shooting with me.

It took my wife a few years and then one day she asked me to train her. She carries a 2" .38 revolver everywhere she goes now.

1st THANK YOU for showing the take down for cleaning. For a litle bit more weight but confidently being able to quickly present it with a proper grip from the get go ... I'll take it over my former Kel-Tek. I ALWAYS had to use my other hand to adjust for proper grip. Shooting it felt like holding it with 60 grit sandpaper. Honestly if it hadn't been for my instructor & his wife I'd have said forget it. Mid rise jeans don't work as well for IWB as regular. I'm comfortably seated with it IWB & the butt is sitting just under de boob w/o poking in the ribs. At 64 ... 5'7 , average build this works. Can't wait to try the Tactica Defense Fashion belly band bcs it has more of a horizontal hold that I believe will be even better. I think my hubby would be proud

Why wouldn’t anyone want a 380 or 9mm that is EZ to use? Is it some kind of manly lack of self confidence if the gun isn’t the biggest you can get and the hardest to use? I am a man. I rather use a EZ gun especially in a high stress situation.

Thanks for this great review! I'd be interested in seeing you review a S&W Performance Center 9mm EZ version for comparison. I've heard the recoil is about the same as the 380 version, as it weighs 5 ounces more. Obviously, the 9mm is more powerful (although, I agree with you that 380 is fine), but the ammo is typically cheaper, as well. So, I'm trying to decide between the two. Thanks, again!

What about recoil compared with the G42, or Bersa Thunder 380? I enjoyed your video, great job, but no mention of recoil for this gun. Only the G42. Thank you.

I had the Bersa Thunder 380 and really liked it until I bought this one. This is much easier to shoot. Much easier on the wrist when shooting. After I got the EZ 380, I sold my Bersa. I like it also because it has the laser rail. I now have a laser for it.

My only complain is capacity. You have smaller 380 pistols with higher capacity than this.

I agree! This is probably my favorite gun that I own and my only complaint against it is capacity. I hope S&W comes out with some extended mags. There is a company (GallowayPrecision) that makes a +1 baseplate so I’m thinking of getting a couple of those.

Smaller pistols come with greater recoil, I love the .380 round but you couldn't GIVE me a Ruger LCP or similar, if I want a small, light pocket pistol I'll get a .22LR.

After I bought the S&W EZ 380 I sold several pistols, including the Bersa 380, which I had really been fond of until I bought this one. This one shoots much easier and smoother than the Bersa. It doesnt kick as much. I have weak wrist. Great video.
