  • I heard there was a recall on the Thumb safety version of the S&W M&P380 Shield EZ. True? How about the hand-grip safety? Which is best? Or just personal preference. I'm interested in purchasing this gun.

  • Yes there ia see the following
    M&P®380 SHIELD™ EZ™ CONSUMER ADVISORY "Like any firearm, the function of the M&P®380 Shield™ EZ™ Manual Thumb Safety pistol can be influenced by the type and quality of ammunition used with the pistol. In the case of the M&P 380 Shield EZ Manual Thumb Safety, we have found that in very rare circumstances, ammunition that produces a high level of felt recoil can cause the manual safety to move from the fire to the “safety on” position during firing. Should this occur, you will not be able to fire the next round unless and until the manual safety is reset to the fire position.
    At Smith & Wesson, we are committed to designing and producing firearms that meet the highest quality and performance standards. To ensure that every Smith & Wesson handgun meets our standards for reliability and performance, as of April 4, 2018, we have engineered the manual safety so that it will be less susceptible to the influence of ammunition weight, velocity and loads. Any M&P 380 Shield EZ Manual Thumb Safety pistol produced before April 4, is eligible for a no-cost upgrade. To determine if this consumer advisory applies to your pistol, please utilize our serial number verification tool." smith-wesson.com/mp-380-shield-ez-consumer-advisory

  • Liz, there was a recall for EZ's manufactured before April 4th 2018 due to some rounds with heavy bullet weights causing some pistols to engage the "Manual Safety" when fired. Current EZ's at Buds do not have this issue as they are current stock pistols.
