The Next Evolution in Concealed Carry: S&W EQUALIZER

SPRINGFIELD, MA., (11/08/2022) – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, introduces the all-new S&W® EQUALIZER™.

Level the playing field with our best-performing micro-compact to date. Next-gen EZ technology, low recoil impulse, and versatile magazine capacity all in a compact footprint, make the EQUALIZER™ an ultimate CCW. This 9MM offering provides the perfect balance of power and capacity across 10, 13, and 15-round magazines. The EQUALIZER™ features a single-action trigger that allows for a short take-up, clean break, and fast reset to make follow-up shots quicker. The slide operates using easy-to-rack technology to cater to a wide variety of needs and the frame includes a picatinny-style rail to mount lights or lasers for any defense scenario. A new optic cut pattern allows the user to mount their choice of sight for enhanced accuracy and the 3.675” barrel gives a longer sight radius for increased iron sight precision. The EQUALIZER™ also features a new grip texture and pattern designed to give you more control when firing and more comfort when carrying.

“The EQUALIZER™ is a total package micro-compact pistol. Its multi-purpose design allows for a variety of setup options for use at the range and/or for personal carry, while not compromising on firepower or comfort,” said John Myles, Senior Manager of New Products.

    I hate the name! However the M&P Shield EZ9 (also hate that name) always reminded me of the Shanghai Municipal Police Colt 1908 (that i only know about because of “Forgotten Weapons”). I thought the EZ9 had a nice trigger thanks to the internal hammer. And i didn’t mind replacing the trigger safety with a grip safety because of the above mentioned 1908. The Equalizer fixes the EZ9’s capacity issue which gives it the real ability to be a fun little fighting pistol. Is it the best carry pistol, not even – i think the P365 really takes the cake there. But it seems like it would be great as a “night stand gun” and could be really fun on the range. My local gun store, range usa lewisville, already has one (and you can rent it) and i was really impressed putting my hands on it. Really hate the name though.

    The name, especially on the port side slide, has to go. EQR, EZR, ELR…anything but what it is now.
