Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P 9 Shield EZ M2.0 Black Ported No Thumb Safety 9mm Pistol - 3.8" Barrel, 8+1 Rounds, 3-Dot Sights

I love this pistol and used to always carry a Glock. This is my new everyday carry gun.

This is my first performance center gun. I think my expectations were too high. It is a great gun and I love the performance center logo/stamp on it. My biggest complaint is the grip safety does not recess as far as the other 3 EZ9s that I have. Not a deal breaker at all but noticeable when shooting more than a couple of clips. My guess is this change was made because the biggest issue with newbies shooting EZs, that I have seen, is they fail to hold the grip tight enough to release the grip safety. The hi-vis sights are way better than the stock sights...but I was expecting red on the rear and a little bigger green front sight. (like the ones I put on two regular EZ9s) My assumption, not a performance center mistake, as we all know sights are a personal preference thing. The slide cut outs and comp are very cool looking but I couldn't tell the difference while shooting from my non performance center EZ9s. That said, I usually shoot a .40 sub compact, so maybe I am numb to the relatively tame nine and any reduced muzzle flip the comp provides. This gun functioned perfectly out of the box, looks very cool, is from the performance center, and being an EZ is very easy to operate. I am happy to own it.

I received my PC M&P 9 EZ M2.0 a couple of weeks ago. The first time at the range, the very first shot did not eject. After that one hiccup, the pistol ran fine in every regard, although I didn't shoot the gun all that well. The second day at the range, I shot the gun much better. Some of the "UTUBERS" complained about the grip safety of these pistols hurting the web of their hand; I didn't experience any problems with the grip safety. As a matter of fact, the grip safety never once caused a failure to fire. I have 2 of the 380 EZs and another 9mm EZ (all non PC), and I have had failure to fire with all of those pistols. I had to really concentrate on getting exactly the right hold on the grips of those other EZ pistols to get reliable firing. My new PC 9 EZ, GREAT GUN!

I just received my smith and wesson 9mm performance ez and inside of barrel has rust all the way down the barrel?

I just got back from the range and shot 270 rounds through this awesome firearm using three different ammo manufactures with no problems. I am not going to bore you of all the goodies this thing has. You've probably already read thousands of reviews. yes easy trigger yes easy this, easy that, easy everything. I have the original M&P Shield 9 and my wife and daughter both have the Shield EZ 380. So I decided to get the Shield 9 EZ Performance Center and the Crimson Trace CMR-206 Green Laser both from Bud's. Now the sights on this thing are awesome but because I'm farsighted I decided to get the green laser from Crimson Trace. You can purchase a holster for this combination from (gold star holsters). This thing is a sweet shooter you can't miss. I also decided to get the 9 EZ because arthritis is starting in my fingers joints. This gun will not disappoint. There was one little teensy weensy, teensy weensy little thing, no biggie to me. Of all the reviews I've read I did not come across this one problem the original M&P Shield has, that if you jam the mag into the mag well the slide will move forward by itself. It's really not a problem for me since I'm used to the original M&P Shield doing this. But just so you know. Anyway that's the only thing that I have experienced that was a little surprising to me.
So with all that being said what are you waiting for? Put this baby in your cart and get the Crimson Trace Green Laser CMR-206.
Happy shooting.
