The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ Semi-Auto Pistol without Thumb Safety is a purpose-built semi-auto pistol that's easy to operate by most anyone. 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 more simple and safe to use. A lightened slide with reduced recoil-spring tension, an easily cocked internal hammer, and rear slide serrations allow shooters to pull the slide back with minimal strength for loading and clearing the weapon, while the single-stack, 8-round magazine utilizes a load-assist button for quicker reload times and reduced tension on the loader's thumb. This model of the M&P Shield EZ features a standard grip safety, without an additional thumb safety. The tactile loaded chamber indicator can be seen or felt, and the single-piece, single-action trigger boasts a consistently crisp pull, with an audible and highly tactile reset. 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, while the slim, trim design and rounded or beveled edges enhance concealability. An 18 grip angle and textured grip areas allow instinctive shooting and superior control. Low-profile, 3-dot sights aid in rapid sight acquisition, and the rear sight adjusts for windage. The M&P Shield EZ fieldstrips easily without tools, or the need to pull the trigger first. Ships with 2 magazines.
