    Great video. I tore my EZ down for the first time and gave it a good cleaning. Ran into trouble getting the slide back on, and this video told me what I was doing wrong. I was holding the grip safety down while putting the slide on and the safety was keeping the slide from going all the way back on the body.

    One thing I have yet to see on the Shield EZ is with the thumb safety you can load and unload with the safety on. I have three 1 9mm and 2 380s. For me I have never seen a safer gun. At times I can not work my other pistols, but have no trouble with any of the three EZ's There is no trouble with thumbing the safety when pulling it out. The tab that shows the gun is load came with a red dot I changed it to white, that makes it stand out so much better. I still put my guns up when little kids are around, but think a little one would have a hard time getting all the safeties on to shoot a EZ with a thumb safety. I want them to stay with my family long after I am gone.

      Stephanie, thanks for watching the video! I have so many gun cleaning kits and all of them are good. However, most come with a lot of items that I never use. I would get an inexpensive kit made for your particular caliber of firearm. I prefer to use Boresnakes for the barrel, a good gun cleaning brush and Original Gun Oil to clean and lube. I use a lot of swabs and rags (cut-up T-shirts).

    • @davesgunchannel

      David, Yes, I would clean it after shooting. Also, if you carry the gun, you want to clean it on a regular basis just because dirt, grime, sweat, moisture, etc., can get on the gun and cause issues such as corrosion. Thanks for the question!

    Use tungsten disulfide (Ws2)! Dry powder, slipperiest thing on the planet, sheds carbon, bonds to metal by rubbing it on, doesn't attract dirt, doesn't come off, withstands 100,000 lbs. of force, eliminates wear. I run my guns dry with NO problems or signs of wear. Better than oil (oil attracts dirt) but if you are worried of what I say, Ws2 also blends well with oil and can be used together. I've been using it in my car's engine oil for 12 years and the engine is like brand new (no wear!!). Nasa uses Tungsten disulfide (Ws2) on the Mars rover. Great for guns! I use a short bristle 1/4 in. paint brush and a q tip to rub it on.

      Jehan, thanks for the question! I do not believe it matters whether the safety is on or off. I have removed the slide with the safety in both positions. The Smith & Wesson manual does suggest placing the safety in the "safe" position at the beginning of the process, and I believe it is just to make it as safe as possible just in case the chamber was not cleared.

    1) Is there a functions check for this weapon? Is it a big deal to dry fire the weapon?
    2) CLP an ideal cleaner?
    3) The manual has an inspection check for this gun. When checking the bore for obstructions, are we supposed to look through the barrel with a flash light?
    4) Also in the inspection check, it says to make sure the firing pin isn't protruding out from the hole it is in. Why is that?

    • @davesgunchannel
      @davesgunchannel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the questions!
      1) There is no "functions check" in the manual. I will be doing a quick video of function checking the Shield EZ shortly. Yes, it is ok to dry fire the gun when fully assembled.
      2) Most CLP gun oils will work great for most gun cleaning. However, if your gun is really dirty you may have better results with a solvent such as Hoppes No. 9.
      3) During inspection, I would just make sure you can see inside most of the barrel, but make sure you do not point it at yourself or anyone else while doing so. If a flashlight helps, by all means use one.
      4) If the firing pin is protruding from the breech face, it could possibly fire a round when you close the slide with a round in the chamber. A protruding firing pin is a safety problem that a gun smith or the Manufacturer should address.

      O.K I am subscribed! I will be watching your videos. Thanks for your response!
      2) Hoppes No. 9 is a Bore cleaner right? I was told if you use it on other parts of the weapon it could damage the metal.
      3) So I look through the barrel as best as you can even if you can't see all the way through it (from the breech end)? The inspection check is supposed to be done whenever the weapon changes hands, is cleaned, etc. So it will be done frequently. Seems inconvenient to use a flash light every single time. I will just take your advice and look through the breech end of the barrel and see as much as I can through the bore.
      4) Noted. My dad has owned pistols for decades and he has never heard of the firing pin check before. I'm glad I ask you about it.
      5) Does the 2.0 version vary much from the 1.0? Are there major differences? How about between the Plus or 380 version?

      4) I have never heard of it before either so I wonder if there was an issue with this particular model which caused them to put it in the manual.
