Smith & Wesson has upsized the .380 Shield EZ to 9mm, without really making the gun bigger, although it is a bit heavier. Sportsman's Warehouse already is advertising them at $429, and I would expect the price to drop over time. I look forward to learning if it is as easy to rack as the .380 version. It is being offered with and without a thumb actuated safety. I suspect that I will pick one up and see if my wife likes it over the .380 version. It certainly will be a good gun demo gun for newbies and occasional shooters, along with the .380 version.

The first online review I have seen compares the two versions.
