Greetings from the Tampa Bay FL area
New member from the Tampa area.
I own a S&W M&P .22 and looking at a S&W M&P 380EZ for a Christmas gift for my wife. She has a bit of arthritis and has a difficult time racking my Ruger Security 9.
I have read a bit about the 380 and have handled one at my LGS and it seems to be very easy to rack.
Any advice or comments would be welcome.
Everyone have an enjoyable Thanksgiving !

Welcome to the forum from North Carolina. I'm sure someone will be along shortly that can give some input on the 380 EZ.

Welcome from Micanopy Florida. I have not owned or shot the EZ pistol so I can't help with your question.

Welcome from across Tampa Bay in St Pete. I went to Shoot Straight with my sister, and she could cock a .380 S&W EZ. It’s a pretty popular gun for women.
I talked her into getting a Glock 43 9mm. She has trouble racking it, but she can manage. If your wife likes the S&W, and can rack the slide, she ought to get it.

Happy to get a first hand report. Thanks !
If you ever come South on 19... Try shooting at Reload Gun Range in Tarpon Springs. Nice place and nice people.
