The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ Semi-Auto Pistol with TRUGLO Sights and Thumb Safety gets you going with everything you need for a solid concealed-carry platform. The M&P EZ series is an extension of the M2.0 series with some added safety features and ease of use features. S&W adds a grip safety on the backstop of the firearm and on this EZ, you'll get an ambidextrous thumb safety as well. Smith & Wesson built the EZ pistol around easy function, holding true to the name. With a light recoil spring design, the slide is easier to pull back. Loading magazines is also easier with a .22 LR style button you can pull downward to remove the spring tension as you place rounds in the magazine. The M2.0 grip texture gives a phenomenal amount of adhesion whether bare-handed or wearing gloves. The Shield EZ looks and feels like a striker-fired firearm while it actually features an internal hammer making it hammer-fired. This Shield also features TruGlo Pro tritium night sights allowing you to be sure of your aim in darker environments.
