The M&P9 Shield EZ applies the easy-racking technology of the .380 EZ to 9mm, creating a single-stack 9mm with significantly reduced slide cycling effort. The grip safety and external hammer are standard EZ platform features. A 3.68-inch barrel and slim profile make it appropriate for concealed carry while the reduced operating force makes it accessible for a wide range of shooters.
