The Smith & Wesson Shield series of handguns has been one of the most popular carry options on the market for a few years now. Offered in both 9mm Para and .380 ACP, the Shield is a small enough handgun with just enough ammo to get you out of trouble if needed. With the introduction of the new 30 Super Carry Shield EZ, this little handgun adds two more rounds to the stock magazine without sacrificing terminal ballistics or concealment.
