Description
The M&P9 Shield EZ is a compact, everyday-carry variation of Smith & Wesson's popular M&P pistol line that is designed, first and foremost to be easy to use. Compact pistols chambered in 9mm are typically blowback operated, which requires a stiff recoil spring that is hard for shooters with limited hand strength to operate. The M&P9 Shield EZ is engineered to require significantly less force than similar pistols to rack the slide. Deep serrations as the rear of the slide provide an excellent gripping surface for racking. Aggressive texturing on the grip firmly anchors the pistol in the shooter's hand - a big help in racking the slide AND in controlling rec Mfg: Smith & Wesson

NFA Warning
AR pistols require a stabilizing brace, not a rifle stock. Adding a stock to a pistol creates a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) requiring NFA registration.
