So something else happened yesterday...

[belladonna]

So there I was, minding my own business (recovering from the gas price shock), and well, to borrow a phrase from another member here... this followed me home.

I have been looking at it for a while, and with my hands aching as often as they do now, it seemed like a great deal. It came with three mags (10, 13 and 15 round) and an awesome little bag. Was $100 off the listed price for the gun alone so, yeah, I gave it a home. Looks like I will have to squeeze in a range trip on my way home from work this week

Congrats on the new acquisition...

 

[Mr.W.]

Very nice, indeed. Share your thoughts when you're able.

All of you must stop leaving trails of breadcrumbs behind to stop these wayward guns from following you home.
Congrats on your new acquisition. Is the Equalizer 9mm or 380?

 

[belladonna]

Very nice, indeed. Share your thoughts when you're able.

Thank you. I shall. I spent some time in the Canadian military as a pararigger, so my thumbs are not great. I have lost strength in them and the pain sometimes.... Anyway I liked the Shield EZ because it was easy to manipulate, but I've been carrying my Hellcat because of the capacity. When the Equalizer came out, I was excited that it had the same capacity as my Hellcat. This promo they had sealed the deal. I still carry my Hellcat, sometimes the Max9, but now on the days when my hands hurt, I can carry something with a capacity I am comfortable with.

It is 9mm. I don't think they make them in 380 yet, at least I think I read that in one of the reviews.

 

[Belt Fed]

Very nice. Havent seen any deals by them for that bag. It's nice too. I want one. Sometimes things that follow you home are great.

I was confusing it with the 380ez.
Definitely let us know how it shoots. Thinking of one for my sister-in-law. She has trouble racking my m&p9.

Congrats !!
Gun day is gun day !!

I definitely will. I like how the Shield EZ shoots, and this feels identical, maybe with a little more aggressive grip. The slide notches are deeper and there is a flair at the end that help grip on the slide as well.

Thanks! There's a range just down the road from the plant where I work. If I am not too tired, there may be a range report on the horizon this week..

I been a meatcutter all my life.....i know about the hand pain.....its horrible some days. Something with easier to handle recoil makes a lot of sense. Very nice pistol and at a good deal as well. Congratulations on your smart purchase and pot up a target or 2 when you have time.

 

[Annihilator]

Congrats! Those are real nice pistols.

 

[belladonna]

I ordered it online, it was shipped to my FFL from Mesa, AZ. It may have been a S&W online promo or something. My LGS/FFL guy was impressed with the bag too. It is very well made.

 

[yotehtr]

Sweet, congratulations on your new arrival. Hope you both live a long and happy life!

 

[Sld1959]

Sweet, enjoy. I am glad gun companies are paying more attention thmo the needs of us older folks who need a bit of help.

 

[Mr.W.]

I can carry something with a capacity I am comfortable with

That's the golden ticket. I hope the ergonomics will be suitable and comfortable enough to assist through your affliction(s). We'll be waiting with bated breath to learn the positive details! "Range is hot!"

 

[nmedge]

Congratulations!! Great brand and great gun. Enjoy your new toy!

 

[Bassbob]

Is it easy to rack like the EZ ?

 

[javbike]
