First Look: Smith & Wesson Announces S&W EQUALIZER Micro Compact 9mm Pistol

EZ TECHNOLOGY, FULL-SIZE MAGAZINES, THIS IS A LOT OF FIREPOWER

NEW from Smith & Wesson comes the Equalizer! A micro-compact 9mm CCW pistol packed with features. 

Featuring S&W’s EZ Technology that makes racking the slide and manipulating the pistol much easier, the Equalizer is, in most respects, like a much upgraded Shield EZ. While the Shield EZ was limited to small-capacity magazines, the Equalizer comes in strong with up to 15-rounds per mag.

Another major feature of the Equalizer is that this comes optics ready! Featuring an optics plate, the Equalizer can mount any pattern of pistol optics (but adaptor plates might be needed). 

All Equalizers have a grip safety much like a 1911, but they are also offered both with and without a manual thumb safety.

Full list of features:

• Easy-to-rack slide
• Slide cut for optics
• Reversible magazine release
• Manual thumb safety
• Loaded chamber indicator
• Crisp, single-action trigger with tactile and audible reset
• Optimized grip texture allows the user to manage recoil, keep a firm grip and it’s comfortable when concealing
• Picatinny-style equipment rail for light or laser
• Optimal 18-degree grip angle for natural point of aim
• Disassembles without pulling the trigger
• Armornite® durable corrosion resistant finish
• Maglula UpLula® magazine speed loader included
• Easy-to-grip, deep front and rear slide serrations
• Ships with (3) Magazines: 10, 13, and 15 Round
