At the bottom rear of the slide there’s a hollowed-out section that allows the hammer to rotate from the cocked to the fired position. Well, this is technically a contained single-action the hammer is hidden under the slide. You’re probably wondering where-since this is a single-action-the hammer is. Another difference is that the Equalizer is only available chambered for the 9mm Luger, where the Shield EZ can be had in. But unlike the Shield Plus, the Equalizer-like the Shield EZ-is a single-action as opposed to striker-fired pistol.

In fact, it uses S&W Shield Plus magazines. It resembles the M&P Shield EZ, but the Equalizer uses double as opposed to single-stack magazines. The Equalizer is a poly-framed, micro-compact, 9mm pistol. With its multiple magazine options, optional thumb safety, compact size and easy rack technology, the Smith & Wesson Equalizer is a carry gun that’ll fit nearly everyone.

Smith & Wesson’s new Equalizer pistol epitomizes the refinement of design to best interface with customers. But at the same time, this new pistol is just a perfect example of American gunmaking at its best.

It’s also partly because just last year they launched a brand-new self-defense handgun called the CSX. This is partly because Smith & Wesson already has a diverse collection of respected self-defense handguns. I was a bit shocked when I saw the announcement of the Equalizer pistol from Smith & Wesson.
