How did you find the felt recoil of the pc vs. Standard ez models?

Love the ranger roll style in the hat

I love chapman (modified weaver) stance. Chapman stance is most suitable to those who practice shooting a long time with one hand only.

Hi Clint, Watching some videos on the M&P Shield 380 EZ. My wife's pistol. Saw your bio. Did you live in Minot AFB back in the early 70s? I used to live across the street from you if you are!!

I purchased 2 of the G44s, one for my wife and one for my daughter so we could all go out shooting on weekends. I later decided that since ammo, even the 9mm is getting expensive for the amount we shoot, to purchase a .22 for myself. Although we love our G44's I decided to buy the Taurus TX22 because it was $100 cheaper. Once in hand and to the range I know I made a mistake and should have spent the money for the 3rd G44. Nothing wrong with the Taurus, but you can tell it is a lower quality pistol than the Glock. Between the 3 of us we shoot about 700 rounds per weekend. Even though I am not as happy with the Taurus, I figure it'll pay for it's self in a couple months anyway.

I like this single hand shooting style. It’s simple, easy, and well aimed and locked sideway. Like dirty harry style. Thanks.

Thanks for giving this an honest review without resorting to saying it's just a grandma gun or only for weak people. You're probably the only reviewer that hasn't said that! That does this outstanding gun a real injustice. It's just a great gun for anyone interested in a 380ACP for carry or even home defense. Nicely done!

I bought one last night. It is used from Gun Broker. I am hoping all the "Bugs have been worked out. I have no idea what year it is or how many rounds have been run through it. Your review is a rare one. I have heard many bad reviews. Yours is the only good one. I am praying to God I feel the same. Thank you, great video-God bless-Shawn.

This firearm is very difficult to load 8+1 rounds because this is the only semi-auto that I've found very difficult to insert a fully loaded magazine when the slide is closed.

Does anyone else out there find it nearly impossible to insert a fully loaded magazine when the slide is closed?

Nice video and nice channel.

Love the review. The slide is a hybrid polymer/steel. If it feels to light for anyone just put a light on the rail and it adds that extra weight to it to make it feel like the G19! Also they do have after market 6061 aluminum slides that look awesome at Nelson precision. Great investment!

So happy to hear a review that matches the real attributes

I only fire 40 grain. Anything less, jams. Other than that, love it!!!!

What is the throat protection for exactly?

I'm a seasond shooter and bought one. You don't need to be frail,old, on your last leg, small staured to get one. This pistol rocks.

Nice review. I got the performance center version and I love it. Shoots smooth as silk and I can get rounds on target fairly reliably.

Glock names them traditionally by the patent number

Not a good home defense pistol. Plinked, yes, anything else nope.

The glock 19x is not a gen5 😢😢😢

Nice video Clint. I do OK with rifles but this basic video still provided some pointers that I will need to try. Keep up the nice productions.

Really interesting comparison. I'm 74 with thumb arthritis, so my son recommended the EZ on the basis of his experience with the performance center one his girlfriend owns. So I bought a standard EZ .380. That pistol is the first semi-auto I've owned that - to date - has been 100% reliable out of the box. Very impressive. The only thing I can complain about is accuracy. I can't get it to group any better than yours did, at seven to ten yards. Maybe a little bit with bench shooting. But I can't trade it off, it's too reliable. So, I can either change the sights (?), or upgrade to the PC version.

I do like the way you teach. Keep it simple and to the point. Work through the little mishaps and keep going. Thanks Clint.

No round in the chamber? That's concerning

Just picked one up, my first 22lr semi-auto. Looking forward to trying it this weekend. Great video, gives me confidence I made the right choice!

Iv got over 1000 rounds . Fukn gun runs 100%. And as far as feeding issues goes. It's all in how the .22 is loaded.

How Much Is The P.C's PRICE ???

Great video! looking forward to getting mine

Picked up a 19X about a month ago. Love this gun! I like it so much that I dropped it off at the gun store/range to have them mill the slide for a Holosun 508T and install it. Should be able to pick it up in about 10 days. New subscriber.

no its the Honda.. a Volvo is expensive and less reliable

Toyota of pistols

Have you ever tried the 18rounds ProMag magazine?

Great review!, thanks for posting!, I also give you a like, and subscribe to your Channel.

What is most people sight picture with this gun? Are you lining up the 3 dot picture exactly? Mine I seem to have the front sight dot just a higher?

After years of effort, my wife finally agreed to buy a firearm for concealed carry. I had it in my mind for her to buy a revolver since she had never fired a semi-auto. At 5' 2", 115 lbs, loading a mag and racking a normal semi-auto would be tough for her. Also, a revolver is not complicated and easy to load. Well a family friend, who happened to work at Premier Shooting, recommended the S&W M&P Shield EZ in 380 Auto. (The 9mm version hadn't come out yet.) The same features described in the video above were pointed out to her and she was impressed. None of my concerns about a semi-auto surfaced. (The price at the time wasn't bad either at $356.99.) But, she wanted to shoot it first to get the feel of it and to check the recoil. Since Premier had a range inside their facility and provided a same model test weapon, we loaded it and shot approximately 50 rounds through it. Wow, it turned out my wife was the reincarnation of Annie Oakley. The center of the target was obliterated and the grouping was incredible. We bought the gun. I've kept the target and have shown it to friends and family, she did so well. I was so proud of her and she always gleams when I do that. I wish I could provide it to show all of you. (By the way, she also purchased a purse designed especially for concealed carry. My wife doesn't mind it, but I don't like the grip safety. It functions very well, but you need to really grip it well in order to pull the trigger and get off a round. In an emergency, you may forget the grip safety and not be able to shoot it if you forget it. I wish S & W would offer it with a double stack mag and without the grip safety. If they did I'd buy one in 9mm.

follower not magazine plate

Brand new, right out of the box the mag springs were so soft they dont work. The slide doesnt lock open, the last round in the mag can bounce up and down, 1 or 2 rounds per mag will jam. Smith and wesson said there was nothing wrong with it and wouldnt even switch out the springs and a new mag costs 40 bucks IF i can ever find one around here. Worst purchase of my life. My glock 19, springfield 1911 gi, gsg22 mp5, mosin nagant, lever action 1887 reproduction 12 gauge, walther p22, ruger lcp, charter arms 44 special bulldog, ruger ar556, all excellent for years. But ill never get a smith and wesson again after this ridiculous buy.😒

I bought the newest S&W MP EZ .380 2.0 and I love it. Review was spot on; nice shooter right from the box. Light recoil and feels good in my arthritic hands! It's become my daily carry piece. 8 rounds are enough, but I carry 2 extra mags, just in case!

Arguably one their best designed models along with it's twin G45 One point reference technique you used on the range. Your preferred method, rack the slide and chamber a round out of the holster? You carry an empty chamber?

That's a 19 round mag

I have a S&W M&P EZ chambered in 9mm, i can almost say, it’s better than my Glock 19, only thing is lower capacity, but I’ve been training with it, and if I can nail anyone with the first 2 rounds, they’re not gonna want 6 more, I guarantee it.

If only an offering without the grip safety was available.

My grip safety doesn’t work easily. Is this a break in issue? I don’t have weak hands but i have to have it in a death grip to work all the time

She's sweet but slippery in the hands. I put the FDE $179 Dagger SW4 GatorMouth cut, RMR milled, threaded barrel, etc. Complete Upper on my G19X lower. Slapped an on sale ($200) HE (Elite) 407c x2 green 2moa dot on her & she's not only sexy but a better performer. Dagger upper fits much better than my stock slide. Plus I still have a stock G19X with an extra upper & dot. Just swap out the backplates & she'll run like a dream. I did change my spring to a 15lb for the heck of it. Holster issues, not a problem 🤟

Ek het die 19x hulle sal se wat hulle wil ja cz daai sig sauber ens maar soos die brutale 19x 'n wapen vir die lewe

Excellent review. Thanks. Love the gun.

Grip angle on the glock sucks, but the combat tupperware goes bang everytime so...

Hello, Thanks for this video!👍 We also picked up a Glock 19x and it shoots amazing! My Wife fired this glock and it was her first time to shoot a semi-automatic gun. She shoots right in the middle! Happy thanksgiving and greetings from Switzerland!

What do you think of the Striker Control Device for Glocks? I like the concept of being able to pin the striker while reholstering kind of similar to pinning the hammer down on a DA/SA hammer fired gun as an additional layer of safety - but I've never handled or seen one in the wild.

I disagree with the reviewer's one-sided advocacy of the manual thumb safety on the Shield series. At least point out the drawbacks, which are the potential for failure to de-activate under stress, and the increased need for training to imprint gross muscle motions. Also, between the grip safety and the trigger blade, and with adequate training, the thumb safety is redundant.
