Others have fired my gun...same results...and I'm an experienced handgun guy with many handguns from all the gun makers listed in my post above plus Beretta and Springfield. I've never seen a gun have this kind of issue that apparently has no cure. I know many don't report having this issue, but I've gotten to the point that after 3835 rounds of 8 different brands of ammo through my gun and multiple iterations trying to fix the problem, I just no longer enjoy having the EZ. It's great fun when it isn't stovepiping, but I can't shoot 250 rounds without issues. All my other handguns are completely reliable and as such are far more fun to shoot. I shoot 13000 to 15000 rounds per year...I'm at the range every week. I'm currently down on Smith and don't plan to purchase any more semi-automatics from them. I know that is an overreaction, but that's where I am. YMMV
Truly unfortunate, as this design concept is perfect for the consumer with compromised grip strength and/or recoil sensitivity. Smith & Wesson's lack of solution is so puzzling.

I too have given up. The 380 EZ has gone from heralded solution to family and friends to trade bait.

Could have been great.
