- Slide lock release doesn't feel great
“The Smith & Wesson Shield EZ is a great gun for those that need a little help in the racking department. The slide rides smoothly on the rails, making it easy to load a round in the chamber. Ergonomics are pretty good, except for the slide release which is just okay. Overall, it’s a soft and smooth shooter — perfect for those with hand difficulties, new shooters, or older shooters.”

final verdict
“If you want the softest shooting, easiest to rack handgun on the market, look no further than the Smith & Wesson Shield EZ line. This gun offers a much easier slide racking compared to regular concealed carry guns. Reliability is top-notch, along with high marks for ergonomics, accuracy, and value. The marketing wasn’t kidding when they named this the EZ line. It actually delivers in each respect, and you can tell the designers went out of their way to make sure that it did. So for us, a big thumbs up.”
