For those who have one of these or is thinking about getting one of these, you need to know about the advisory on the M&P EZ .380.

Granted, this is not for all of the EZs.

Yeup just bought one and check the serial number. Ours in one of the earlier ones that needs the mod., just haven't sent it back yet.

Mine, which was sitting in the FF L lockup for months & months awaiting approval by the Maryland State Handgun Board, just went back this week. Since I had yet to take actual possession, S&W is going to send the FF L a replacement. If all goes well with the state, I will be able to take my baby home on or about June 20; I can hardly wait!

... or you could carry a Ruger LCPII and have one the of most reliable, easily racked, best selling for a reason, .380's on the market. Just sayin'.

For some of us, this is not an either/or situation. It's a " because I want it" type of thing!

Taurus doesn't care. They still capture sales on price. They are not out to dominate the world gun market like Glock,
S&W, Beretta, etc.

All the Best,

Or it could just be that I've sot my brothers and I just plain don't like it. But to each their own.

Please let us know what you think of it. I am very curious to hear your take on it.

I have handled and taken the 380 EZ apart. It is incredibly easy to rack the slide. Tear down is a cinch; the slide release lever is easily accessible for those of us with petite arthritic thumbs. If it shoots/performs even in an just an OK manner, I think I'll be satisfied.

Anything machinal can and will fail. some just more than others, what counts is how the company stands behind their product.

 

[JeeperCreeper]

How come when S&W have something like this happen where it could mean the difference between life and death in certain situations they receive praise but, elsewhere on the forum, there's a thread on Kel Tec about a range plinker with an issue and they're taking care of it just as handily but it's mostly a gripe-fest that leans on bashing? :dunno: :theyareontome:

 

[kmw1954]

No complaints here either way.

They found or were made aware of a problem and they fixed it and are now repairing the ones that got loose. If the process goes smoothly there will be few complaints. If it doesn't, well then you will hear it.

In our case we were aware of the problem before we purchased so how can we gripe to anyone accept ourselves?

having recently shot one and watching a young lady that is new to firearms shoot hers I think you will be VERY pleased with the weapon Miss Sekol.
the trigger is quite nice as well.

Always room for you and yours here in Texas. We don't have a State Handgun Board.

Thank you, cjs3! Neither does South Dakota...hopefully our new home in the near future! Can you imagine how tickled this Marylander will be to walk into a lgs in Rapid City,SD and then spy say a lovely old Colt SAA and then actually pay for it and walk out the door with it! Oh my, be still my heart!

And olfarhorse: that is so good to hear that you and the gals enjoyed the EZ! Two thumbs up!

 

[Joe Reeser]

"Less susceptible"? So it can still happen? Is that what they're saying?

 

[Fredward]

So, get a revolver. Anything CAN fail. I've got 500 rounds thru mine without failure.
