The M&P 380 Shield EZ is a compact, semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Smith & Wesson. It's designed with ease of use and accessibility in mind, particularly for shooters who may have difficulty handling more traditional, high-recoil firearms. 

It is chambered in .380 ACP, a caliber that provides a good balance between manageable recoil and stopping power, making it a popular choice for self-defense and concealed carry.
