My wife is currently running a Shield EZ in .380. I run a Shield M&P in 9 mm. Now I see Smith is offering the EZ in 9mm. I will get one for her and let her decide which one she prefers. We both like the Shield platform and she shoots the .380 very well. We tried a little Taurus in .380, and neither of us liked the recoil. It has become my tackle box gun.
