Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ M2.0 9mm Compact Pistol 8+1

The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ M2.0 addresses the common challenge of difficult slide manipulation with its enhanced grip serrations and lighter recoil spring system. This 9mm compact pistol delivers reliable performance in a slim profile that conceals easily while maintaining shootability for users with reduced hand strength.

What Makes This Different

The EZ M2.0 features an 18% easier slide pull compared to standard compact pistols, requiring only 14 pounds of force versus the typical 17+ pounds. The enhanced grip texture provides 23% more surface contact than smooth polymer frames. Smith & Wesson engineered this model specifically for shooters who struggle with traditional slide operation while maintaining the proven M&P reliability platform.

Field testing shows consistent 2.5-inch groups at 15 yards with quality ammunition. The lighter recoil spring system reduces felt recoil by approximately 15% compared to standard 9mm compacts, making follow-up shots faster and more controllable.
