Local store has used guns 15% off.

Sticker price is $320.

Discount makes it $272.






ETA: I’m gonna shoot at their range. If it’s there when I’m out, I’ll have to get it.

That grip "safety" should be all you need to talk you out of it.

Easy, the grip safety sucks as Arms said.

Anyone that downvotes hasn’t shot one.

My SIL had one. I made her sell it’s because half the time she picked it up to shoot it, she had to adjust her hands because of the piece of crap grip safety.

I’ve yet to see a grip safety gun that was actually a problem for anyone that knows how to hold a gun…it’s a marketing feature and that’s it.

I have one. Good gun. Very easy to chamber and load the mags. Hence EZ. I also like the double safety. I also have an FN 509. I actually shoot better with the EZ.

Then you haven’t shot one of these.

The grip safety on this gun with the thin grip equals crap.

The Shield 2.0 and Plus are just better all the way around. With the EZ, you get a bit larger pistola with the same or less capacity than the 2.0 or the plus.

I've got both the 2.0 and plus and love them.

For a few more bucks, you get better options. They say though the EZ is a good choice for women. It slides easy. The 2.0 and plus are stiff as shite.

For a little more, you can get a newer one with a better trigger

I owned one and didn’t love it. For similar money you can get a Canik which shoots so much smoother.

I have never owned the EZ but my mom has one. She likes it due to being able to rack the slide easily. I have shot her gun but i'm not wild about it.

To be honest i have a Ruger security9 that is below the EZ in your picture. I bought it as a shooter just to use at the range. it is a fun gun to shoot, I prefer the ruger to the shield EZ.
