S&W EZ 380 who has one

Post by knockonit »

just need to know first hand if the slide is as stated, easier for a weaky to pull.

Please don't give a shiat about the caliber debate, and if you havent shot one, racked one or owned one, don't comment, you'll only confuse an already confused old guy.

only the real thing, not your other brothers bullshiat story.
thanks

You will probably be very happy with it. My daughter bought one and everyone who tried it loved it. My sister has a Glock 19 and never was real comfortable with it (even though she's shot it a lot) and can't wait to get an EZ. My wife was a good shot years ago but totally out of practice and weaker now, she could handle the EZ much better than a revolver. I may have to buy one for her. I'm amazed gun companies hadn't made similar pistols years ago!
Yes, the slide is that EZ.

My wife loves hers. Very easy to rack and of course the recoil is gentle.

Bought one for the wife and its exactly as advertised and she loves it. She has about 600 rounds down the pipe and its been trouble free. The slide is so easy almost anyone could manipulate it. It does need to be released fully or it does not go into battery sometimes. Something i am still working on my wife about. She tends to follow the slide with her hand instead of releasing it.

The 9mm EZ is out and just in time. My left hand is acting up. I'm going to be getting one next Black Friday.

Yes it is easy enough that my 92 yr old mother in law can rack it with ease so could my 10 year old girl and both had no problem with recoil with standard and personal defense ammunition

I just wonder...
It sounds to be a blow-back design with a reduced recoil spring...
Since the 380 is known to be marginal and the use of hot full power loads is IMO recommended... if so then using full power loads could be battering the frame.
I would be interested in learning how the 9mm does...
