I started to type "easy rack" and "my wife" in same sentence and realized I'd start off thread with a smile..(and probably create heavy usage for the "reply" button on the thread but that's what makes NES such a fun distraction from life's daily bullsh*t ).
My wife loves shooting the LC9s, but has had problems in the past with racking the slide/locking it etc ..(and that gun is known for being "pretty easy") but now I'm thinking maybe they might be better off with a Shield EZ?
My daughter also carries the LC9s and also likes it, but she also has issues racking (she is petite and has tiny "girl hands" and the LC9s can be a challenge for her)....
I've been reading about the Shield EZ, supposedly a VERY easy rack and also loading mags is apparently easier cuz the mags have a little "tab which makes the follower easy to push/pull down ..
BUT....
While I know that shot placement is more important than ammo type/size/quality etc, I'm wondering if anyone else has shot/owns/carries an EZ and what you think, recommend etc for the wife and the "little one". Never owned anything in .380 and some say that particular ammo "sucks".. others say "shot placement is everything" (as mentioned above)..
Any input/thoughts are (like always) sincerely appreciated.
