If you have a proper grip on the gun, this safety will take care of itself. Instead, it has a grip safety similar to those on 1911 pistols. Magazine loading isn’t the same easy process as it is with the EZ-Rack Shield, but the supplied Uplula magazine loader makes that chore doable for all but extremely weak-handed shooters. People who struggle with slide operation will find this gun much to their liking. The serrations on the Equalizer’s panel are much bolder and spread apart farther than I’m used to seeing on just about any other gun except the Beretta APX A2.Īlthough the slide is already easier to rack due to the reduced spring tension, the serrations act as a force multiplier. The mag release button can be turned around for left-hand shooting.

My gun has the ambidextrous manual safety. Although similar in size and internal operation, the Equalizer has numerous small design changes that set it apart. When carrying the gun in an IWB holster, I have not experienced any discomfort from the texture.Īn original Shield EZ-Rack (left), and the Equalizer (right). I think it’s attractive and it does have enough grit to provide a good, solid grip. The S&W Equalizer features a new grip texture and pattern designed to give you more control when firing and more comfort when carrying. Both the front and rear sights are drift adjustable. The rear sight is set back to make room for the red dot plate. The sights are white three-dot types, not quite the same rear sight as the other S&W guns. The barrel is 3.675 inches long, which provides a nice sight radius for use with iron sights. It has a clean break at just a little over 5 pounds with a fast reset. The Equalizer is an internal hammer-fired design with a good trigger. The slide is cut for optics that allow the user to mount the most popular micro red dot sights on the market. This is a double-stack 9mm which ships with 10, 13 and 15-round magazines.

There are other features (compared to the Shield EZ) that make for a nice gun.

Plus, this range kit includes five 8-round magazines, and a M&P Pro Tac handgun case for safe, convenient transport to and from the range.Optics-ready guns of this size are the new norm. The M&P Shield EZ fieldstrips easily without tools, or the need to pull the trigger first. Low-profile, 2-dot sights aid in rapid sight acquisition, and the rear sight adjusts for windage. An 18-degree grip angle and textured grip areas allow instinctive shooting, and superb control.

A black Armornite® finished stainless steel slide and polymer frame make the M&P Shield EZ Semi-Auto Pistol extremely resistant to the corrosive effects of sweat and humidity when the gun is carried close to the body and, the slim, trim design and rounded or beveled edges enhance concealability. The single-piece, single-action trigger has a consistently crisp light pull, with an audible and highly tactile reset. The tactile loaded chamber indicator can be seen or felt. This model M&P Shield EZ semi-automatic pistol features a thumb safety, and the grip safety is standard on all models.

The single-stack 8-round magazine utilizes a load-assist button to ease tension on the loader's thumb. A lightened slide with reduced recoil-spring tension, an easily cocked internal hammer, and plenty to grip onto at the rear of the slide, allow shooters to pull the slide back with minimal strength for loading and clearing the weapon. When designing the Shield EZ, Smith & Wesson focused on making the slide easy to rack and the magazine easy to load as well as making the pistol simple and safe to use. The Smith & Wesson® M&P® Shield™ EZ™ with Thumb Safety Semi-Auto Pistol Range Kit is a purpose-built range kit, designed to provide everything you need for a day at the range.
