The Shield EZ features a lighter recoil spring and enhanced grip surfaces that make slide manipulation significantly easier. The slide also includes front and rear cocking serrations, allowing shooters to rack the slide with less hand strength. This makes it an excellent choice for those with limited hand strength or arthritis, while still maintaining the reliability Smith & Wesson is known for in their M&P design.
