Re: Smith and Wesson releases M&P EZ in 9mm

My first range session with my M&P EZ 9mm can be summed up in one word: boring--but in the good way. No failures to feed, fire, or eject with a total of 100 rds of three kinds of FMJ and one type of HP mixed up in two different magazines. Accuracy wasn't great, but good enough for self-defense. Recoil was noticeable, but not at all uncomfortable. A strange thing about the recoil, though--I could feel the slide come back and hit the stop. First time I've ever noticed that in a semi-auto. Also, the top of the gun would roll to the left during recoil unless I put some extra pressure on the grip with my support (left) hand. Just some peculiarities to learn, I suppose.

It feels like it’s a few ounces heavier and the slide is slightly harder to rack, but it is new. It looks just like the 380 version and magazine looks the same as well. I’ll take it and my 380 EZ to range and shoot them side by side. More to come.
Spent the morning at the range with both the EZ 380 and the EZ 9mm. The 9 is just a little bit heavier. Recoil isn’t bad at all. Very accurate. The magazine for the 9mm has 2 helper tabs instead of one like the 380. This pistol will be popular with folks that have weak wrists\hands and ladies. I shot 50 rounds thru both and they were flawless. Ammo was Spear Lawman 124 gr FMJ 9mm and Spear Lawman 95gr FMJ 380.

It’s a keeper.

The outstanding aspect of the 380EZ for people with weak, injured or aging hands is the ease with which the slide can be racked. Do you think the 9mm EZ will be a good fit for those folks?

Chas.
I got one a couple of weeks ago and the slide is a little bit harder to rack than on a .380 EZ, but quite a bit easier than on the 9mm Shield M2 I had. Haven't shot it yet, but will report in when I do.
