A SHORT WHILE AGO . . . . .

[Ruger Rich]

I posted about an incident that happened at the range. I had a S & W 9MM EZ blow up in my hands. I was wearing safety glasses

and it probably saved my right eye. The other things were just uncomfortable. It had the appearance of firing out of battery. So I

contacted S & W and they had me send it in. I was apprehensive as the gun was the only proof I had of a possible malfunction.

Friday last I was notified that they were replacing the gun. Too often we complain too much and neglect to mention the good.

So here I am giving a shout out to S & W for doing what I feel is decent. And I own none of their stock.

Was an explanation offered as to why this design is capable of firing while not properly locked at breech? I'm curious and also fairly concerned, as I know someone with the .380 version.

No. And with our litigious society, I did not expect such. But, I did pose that question.

This is an internal hammer gun. They had a recall from March 2020 thru Oct 2020 for a hammer issue. The EZ I had was

made in Feb 2020.

I'm glad to hear they replaced the gun at no charge... and hopefully are addressing the firing out of battery issue

Glad you still have all your fingers and eyes. That coulda been a lot worse.
