Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ 9 Usage and Features

Primary Use

Home Defense

Are you right or left handed?

Right Handed

What features does this gun have that appealed to you?

Light weight, easy trigger pull & grip.

Tell us about shooting this gun.

Perfect for me! Easy to load, rack & fire. Just enough power, little recoil.

How would you describe the recoil, is it manageable?

Yes, using both hands. My wrists aren’t strong enough for one-handed shooting with the recoil.

How does it fit your hand, are the controls of this gun easy to use? (Safeties,slide pull, magazine release, trigger pull, etc.)

Everything is EZ. Have the option to change magazine release to the other side, may try it. Slide pull, trigger pull, cleaning, all stressless. I’m a petite woman with hand issues. Wish this had been my first purchase!

Do you like the sights on this gun?

Work for me.

How reliable is it?

Very, getting use to the grip safety.

Any problems with any type of ammunition?

Have only used 115 grain, FMJ.

Was it easy to take down and clean?

I still use the instructions and clean it often by myself, no problem.

Is there anything you dislike about shooting this gun?

No. If my area gun shops had a range, this would have been my only purchase. There is only so much you can try out before buying, if you don’t use it.

For someone considering this gun, what would you tell them?

Ask the women in your group or at the range why they use their choice. Ask to try it out at the range. A test drive may be what you need.

Would you recommend this gun? If no, do you have a preferred gun?

Absolutely, it fit all my criteria.
