The “gun snobs” may look down their noses at the EZ, but those of us trying to teach beginners, women and senior citizens are rejoicing.
...
Isn’t it a hate crime to say women aren’t as strong?
Anyway, it’s good that they are thinking about people who are more likely to need a gun for self defense.
Bump for later
Ruger did it first with their LC380. IT uses the larger (than the LCP) LC9 frame, chambered in .380 with a much lighter recoil spring.
I have a Shield, Performance Center version, in 9mm as one of my regular carries. I have a few 1000 through it and I have been very happy with it. It’s comfortable to carry, quick and easy to get on target, and I can shoot it with decent accuracy. I personally don’t like large frames or heavy weight for conceal carry.
The Sig did it for my wife.
She can handle the Kimber 9mm and even shoots a full size 1911 in .45 fairly well - but she can't rack the slide on either one.
The Sig keeps the 1911 controls, she can get it ready to go from empty gun and magazine to firing, and she hits very well with it.
Price is not among my concerns when choosing a self-defense firearm.
Thanks for posting this. I’ll give it a try. Price isn’t important, it just has to be easy to tote and operate with my diminutive little girl hands.
I won’t be truly happy with any gun until it goes whish instead of bang.
You can rack the slide with this ingenious device! Check out the handi-racker. Now a woman or arthritic can use any semi pistol, any pistol you like.

I’m jonesing a Springfield XDe compact.
Like the idea of a decocker and the first trigger pull is similar to a revolver.
