They also provide a relief to help when moving the takedown pin. They kind of look like a machining mistake at first, but do provide a little grip. There are also scalloped front serrations. These ears at the back of the serrations make it easy to grip the slide, but they don’t protrude so much as to snag. They look like the classic SHIELD serrations, but the rear serrations are actually cut away deeper into the slide and leave a pronounced ear at the back of the slide that is also easy to grip. The ease is increased with considerate design in the serrations. You can use two fingers to rack this gun, or just place your hand on top of it. It’s so easy to use that it looks like those prop guns they use on TV that seem to rack if you breathe across the top. My friend with arthritis also had no issues working the slide. I can do it with thumb and pinky, or just by grabbing anywhere on the top. The slide is the other EZ part of this gun. The mags for the 9 SHIELD only hold 7 rounds and are much more difficult to load. The magazines also have an indentation at the top corner which helps the ammo load properly. The 9 SHIELD mag on the left only holds 7 rounds to the 9 EZ’s 8. The tabs on the 9 EZ are also much better than the round knobs on the 380 EZ mags. My friend used this gun with me and he was amazed that even his pained hands could load it without trouble. The tabs on the side let you pull the follower downward.įor those with arthritis, it really makes a big difference. It ships with two 8-round easy loading magazines. It’d be great if all magazines had this feature. These mags eliminate the pain points of loading mags. Think about the last time you went to the range: What is the one thing you could really do without? It’s probably the pain of loading magazines and wearing out your thumb. For anyone who has trouble loading mags, these are truly easy to use and probably the best feature on this gun. You can even rest it flat on a table and drop ammo in. You can pull the tab downward to reduce the upward pressure as you load the next round. They are particularly easy to load because of a tab connected to the follower. The 9 EZ ships with two 8-round magazines. This is the bigger 9 EZ with the 9 SHIELD. The 9 EZ is the heaviest - its slide alone weighs about 1.5oz more than the slide on the 9 SHIELD (according to my kitchen scale). The 380 EZ weighs 18.5oz, while the 9 EZ weighs 23.2oz. Bottom to top: 9 EZ, 380 EZ, and 9 SHIELD.
