I got to examine the EZ 380 at the NRA convention and it feels like an M&P22C in weight and size (slightly larger than a Shield 9mm). It was optimized to allow people with less hand strength, or perhaps with arthritic hands, to rack the slide and operate the controls with greater ease and in that regard it has succeeded. My wife fell in love with it on the spot and I’ll be buying one in the near future.
