Im curious as well, I was thinking of one for my mother as she has trouble racking the shield9.
I havent seen any info on them.

Felt recoil has to be more with a lighter spring

I don’t like the fact that now there’s a grip safety. I had a XDm 40 for years that I shot really well but just couldn’t get past the grip safety when doing barricade drills. By that mean I still shot well and the pistol performed well, but it was a conscious thing to make sure my grip was still perfect even when pointing/aiming in weird ways.

For many folks I bet this ez package is appealing though. Just not for me.

My wife has the 380 EZ. It's fantastic! I suspect the 9mm is the same with a little stouter spring (making racking the slide a bit stiffer) but definitely EZ! It's everything it's touted to be & more.
As for the grip safety, it's VERY EZ to activate. It's there because it's a hammer fired gun & that makes it drop safe. It's so light of pressure to actuate that you don't even notice it.
It's the perfect handgun for a woman or an elder that has difficulty racking "normal" slides or is recoil sensitive. Hell, I'm a grown man that likes magnum recoil & I enjoy shooting it...alot!

I literally just bought one for my wife a few days ago. She's a skinny little thing at 105 lbs so we went with the .380. Handled them side by side and yes the .380 felt a touch easier to rack than the 9mm. Wife says it feels really good in the hand and I agree. They got the texturing on the grip just right and its thin. Trigger actually feels pretty decent too. We were supposed to go christen it tomorrow with some Hornady Critical Defense but there's a storm rolling in.

Interested to see how these shake out, my daughter is wanting her first pistol and we are thinking of looking into one of these for her.

It's a solid pistol IMO

MAC just did a vid on this as well. He is pretty honest in his reviews and seemed to like it based off of the comments i saw (didnt watch yet)

I’m old and arthritic. I bought the .380 and liked it so much I bought the 9mm version as soon as it was released. I really don’t even know the grip safety is there.
These pistols are a Godsend for many of us.

A friend’s mother bought one at around Christmas time, and I shot it a couple times. She had difficulty consistently engaging the grip safety, but that could have been due to her arthritic hands.

I don’t have easy access to the pistol right now, but I think the grip safety needs to be disengaged for disassembly.
