Anyone have a Shield EZ in 380 or 9mm?

Looking for something for the house that the wife can use when needed if I'm not home. She has RA so the local shops recommend either of these as it would be easy for her to pull the slide back. Unfortunately noone local has them in stock so I can't take her to look at one.

 

I do not have one or have I shot one. I was recently looking for a .380 just to have one..... The EZ is a really nice pistol and feels very nice. I felt and dry fired both the .380 and the 9mm. They are very easy to rack. Only thing you might not like is the safety on the back of the handle or 1911 style. Other than that, the local gun shops sell a ton and sell as many of them as about anything from what they say. They are very popular models.

I came close to getting the .380 but it is a little bit larger than the p238 I bought. I figured the p238 would make a good pocket gun where the EZ .380 would not, but be fine for concealed carry.

My wife is on the market for her first firearm and these will be 2 that she tries at the range. The range has both models to rent. Plan on taking her in the next couple weeks.

Now...... it is easier to rack but it is not 10x easier. I think my p365 is pretty smooth. It is a little easier but not just game changing better.

However the magazine springs pretty soft and those seemed like they would be very simple to load.

 

Smoky Mountain Guns and Ammo has had both in stock over the past month or so in Swvierville, TN. In fact, a couple weeks ago they had the .380 for $329.00. It is back up to normal prices now. I was in there yesterday and they had both on display.

With her RA why not get her a revolver? Much easier to work with.
