Grip safeties have been around since 1887 when they first appeared on the S&W Safety Hammerless revolver, also nicknamed the “Lemon Squeezer.” A grip safety also appeared in 1908 when John Browning integrated one to the backstrap of the Colt Vest Pocket pistol. The second safety feature is one that has been eliminated on all but a few modern handguns: a grip safety. it is quickly depressed as the hand begins to touch it. Designed for safety-conscious shooters, the M&P9 shield EZ offers active safety measures including an ambidextrous thumb safety lever and a grip safety that pivots on its pin at the bottom of the grip. The thumb safety does not lock the slide so the gun can be loaded with the safety engaged. This lever is well-located, intuitive and easy to engage or deactivate. There is an optional frame-mounted thumb safety lever that’s ambidextrous. The Shield EZ has several active and passive safeties to prevent an accidental discharge.

It’s been difficult to find a defensive semiauto that is this easy for people of all ages and strength to manipulate and shoot. Publicly released in January 2018, the M&P380 Shield EZ has been well received, but most of us have had our fingers crossed for an EZ in 9mm.

Among the newest comes from S&W in its EZ series that was first introduced to Guns & Ammo’s staff as a.
This class of 9mm compacts continues to evolve from that single-stack with each brand fighting to be recognized as the universal choice for concealed carry. Smith & Wesson (S&W) helped initiate America’s interest in these types of handguns with its 2012 introduction of the M&P Shield.
It is a fact that more Americans than ever are carrying handguns for self-defense, and the market has adjusted accordingly. The best sellers have been compact striker-fired semiautos or those with an internal hammer chambered in 9mm. The bright spot for business has been the concealable handgun market. These have been uncertain times for the firearms industry with sales slumping since the 2016 election of President Donald Trump.
