The M&P380 Shield EZ was designed specifically for shooters who have difficulty racking a standard semi-automatic slide, including those with reduced hand strength. The EZ designation reflects the dramatically lighter slide-racking effort achieved through a unique operating system. It uses an internal hammer and a grip safety reminiscent of the 1911 pattern. Type: Pistol Action: Semi-Automatic Caliber: .380 ACP Capacity: 8 Year introduced: 2018, USA Weight: 18.5 oz Overall length: 6.7" Status: Active Intended use: Concealed Carry, New Shooter
