Description
The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P9 Shield EZ is an internal hammer fired 9mm pistol that is perfect for new shooters, the elderly, or anyone with grip strength issues that find most slides difficult to operate. But make no mistake, the Performance Center name is well earned with improvements like a ported barrel for reduced muzzle flip, lightening cuts in the slide for reduced weight, HI-VIZ® Litewave H3™ Tritium/Litepipe Sights, and Performance Center action that provides for a short pull, crisp break and a more tactile reset. Of course the EZ still earns its name with features like an easy-to-rack slide, easy-to-load magazines, and an easy-to-clean design. The Performance Center EZ is drop safe, includes an aluminum grip safety, and in this model, a manual thumb safety. The status of the firearm can be easily checked using the loaded chamber indicator on the top of the firearm. The bottom line is that this gun performs and is a pleasure to shoot no matter who you are. As an extra bonus, this firearm comes with an excellent, Performance Center branded cleaning kit.
