( 5 out of 5) So Much More than a Mouse Gun

by David from Phoenix, AZ on August 11, 2019

First of all, I got great service from SOSS as I ordered this on a weekend and picked it up at my FFL on Thursday. It couldn't have been better and these folks really mean it when they say they have it in stock and ready to ship.



The 380 EZ feels and shoots like a real gun and I shot 175+ rounds and it was very accurate with little recoil and very shootable, unlike your average mouse gun where you probably would never attempt shooting this much at a time. It was a pleasure to shoot and I had no problem with the grip safety as anyone reporting they do probably aren't holding it tight enough to safely fire any gun, as it didn't take a death grip to keep it depressed while firing.



I wanted to see if it was fussy about ammo so I shot Federal, Sig, Fiocchi, Aguila, Perfecta, LAX, and some 25 year old Winchester soft point and there were 2 stovepipes within the first 4 clips, and then there weren't any after that. Unlike some 380s this M&P 380 EZ isn't fussy about what you feed it as these rounds varied from FMJ round nose to FMJ blunt nose, Fiocchi HP, and the old Winchesters were soft point lead. It was a lot of fun at the range and much like shooting your average 9 mm but with less felt recoil, something you could shoot all day without tiring.



The only downside is that 380 ammo is more expensive than 9 mm, but after a few high volume trips to the range I will settle down to firing it enough to stay sharp, but relegate my higher volume shooting to more affordable 9 mm and 22s. I had debated buying something less expensive, but I am glad I didn't as this is my third S&W and they are all smooth shooters, reliable, and are well built for the long term. Rent one at your local range to make sure you like it, and there is a good chance you will want one after that.
