Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Shield EZ Chrimson Red Trace Laser No Thumb Safety 9mm Pistol - Blue/Black, 3.675" Barrel, 8 Rounds, Polymer Grips, 3-Dot Sights

EZ to Shoot, EZ to Rack, EZ to Load, At Bud's it's EZ to afford!

This handgun performs exactly as advertised. Purchased for my wife who has had trouble racking other semis due partly to weak hands but also a lack of familiarity with shooting. She can pull the slide on the EZ with a thumb and forefinger of either hand. Smooth and accurate for its size and resulting short sight plane. Suits wife's needs perfectly.

I bought this piece for my wife. She has diminished hand strength. The slide does rack easily and, more importantly, the trigger pull is easier than most and therefore is more shoot-able. We also like the integrated laser. Adding one to a gun this size is problematic.

I was very impressed with this pistol I took to the range and it shoots very smooth it cycled FMJ 115,124,147 and 115 gr Hornady Critical Defense , Civil Defense +P ammo the recoil is nice and manageable, the grip safety doesn’t interfere with a good hand purchase. I’m actually a Glock guy I just wanted to try something smaller but effective and S&W got this one right I would recommend this to new shooters, to gun owners looking for something different or to add to the EDC or nightstand. Only ding would be magazine capacity 8 rounds but hey there are options if that’s a show stopper for others.

Great gun which was in stock when most places were out of stock. Shipped as promised to a pre approved FFL, who handled the transfer seamlessly. Great job Bud's! Will be using again.

I purchased this gun as an additional EDC, and I selected this particular model because of the advertisements that it was "easy" to rack. My wife has a difficult time racking the slide on most semiautomatics, so I thought this would be a solution for that. Evidently, the .380 version does rack quite easily, but not so with the 9mm -- it's not too much different from other guns on the market. So for her, this was a "bust". That having been said, I definitely like the gun. It's easy to shoot and fits my hand well. Since it has a CT laser, finding a holster is proving to be a challenge. Getting used to the safety on the back of the grip will also take some time -- it's not bad, just different. Otherwise, yes, I'd buy the gun again.
