S&W Shield EZ vs Equalizer - The Winner Is ?
This video compares the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ and the Smith & Wesson Equalizer, both in 9mm. The Equalizer is presented as the superior option due to its optic-ready slide, higher magazine capacities (10, 12, and 15 rounds vs. 8 rounds for the Shield EZ), aggressive front and rear slide serrations, and the inclusion of the "EZ Technology" for easier slide manipulation. The reviewer notes both are similarly priced, around $460, and feature internal hammer-fired mechanisms, 3.67-inch barrels, black Armonite finish, three-dot sights, loaded chamber indicators, and optional manual safeties. The Equalizer's trigger is also highlighted as being better.
