"When we set out to design the M&P380 Shield EZ pistol, our goal was to deliver an all-around, easy to use personal protection pistol – from loading and carrying, to shooting and cleaning. Throughout the development process, we focused on key areas that customers told us were important – the ease of racking the slide and loading the magazine. With that in mind, we reduced the amount of force required to rack the slide, and developed a magazine that is both easy and efficient to load. We have incorporated both of these new features into the M&P380 Shield EZ pistol, allowing consumers of all statures and strengths the opportunity to own, comfortably practice with, and effectively utilize this exciting new pistol. The new M&P380 Shield EZ pistol provides an easy-to-use personal protection option for both first-time shooters and experienced handgunners alike.” – Jan Mladek, General Manager of M&P and S&W Brands

The GRIP SAFETY is hideous and only belongs on 1911's.
None of your other M&P range of pistols has the grip safety which is nothing but a nuisance and for that reason I will never get one despite how much I like the rest of the gun.
Having openly discussed this pistol in a local firearm forum recently not a single person of 35 individual posts had one single good word to say about the grip safety on this gun.
The general feeling is that it does not suit the target audience like ladies and the purpose of it's intended use namely EDC.
Please don't ever fit a hand safety to any other Smith& Wesson pistol except on your 1911 models.
