The function of the grip safety is to prevent the gun from firing unless the shooter is holding the gun. You’re probably wondering about the safety of carrying a single action pistol cocked but unlocked, and this is where the S&W engineers made the decision to add a grip safety. This makes the EZ Shield a single-action semi-auto. Smith & Wesson’s engineers locate the hammer low in the frame where the reciprocating slide can easily cock it without too much resistance, which could negatively impact the slide’s velocity. Probably the biggest difference between the striker-fired Shield and the EZ Shield is that the EZ gun uses an internal hammer. But the new EZ Shields are very different guns from the striker-fired Shields, though externally they share some degree of similarity. I’ve used a first-generation S&W Shield for my EDC for about the last three years now and have been very happy with its accuracy and reliability. But before we get started with the new pistol, let’s take a look at how the EZ Shield differs from the original striker-fired Shield. Now, in mid-summer 2020 we have the new Performance Center enhanced gun. The gun proved to be immediately popular and a 9mm version followed in 2019. 380 Shield EZ, a pistol designed to solve that very issue. With a large segment of our population moving into their golden years, Smith & Wesson recognized the need for a semi-auto handgun whose slide could be easily racked.

Boasting all of the features that made the EZ line so popular, plus the Performance Center’s refinements, the new pistol is destined to become a favorite with concealed carriers. Our test sample did not include this feature.
