I sent the one I have with a thumb safety into S&W and got it back 10 days later. From what I can tell they replaced the Safety lever with one that has a deeper detent in it. I don't use +P ammo, but that's what was causing the Safety issue. I guess some folks don't read the manual cover to cover. :)NotRPB wrote: ↑Tue Jul 03, 2018 9:39 am I prefer thumb safety ... but check this :https://www.smith-wesson.com/mp-380-shi ... r-advisoryhttps://www.smith-wesson.com/mp-380-shi ... r-advisory

M&P®380 SHIELD™ EZ™ Consumer Advisory
Like any firearm, the function of the M&P®380 Shield™ EZ™ Manual Thumb Safety pistol can be influenced by the type and quality of ammunition used with the pistol. In the case of the M&P 380 Shield EZ Manual Thumb Safety, we have found that in very rare circumstances, ammunition that produces a high level of felt recoil can cause the manual safety to move from the fire to the “safety on” position during firing. Should this occur, you will not be able to fire the next round unless and until the manual safety is reset to the fire position.
At Smith & Wesson, we are committed to designing and producing firearms that meet the highest quality and performance standards. To ensure that every Smith & Wesson handgun meets our standards for reliability and performance, as of April 4, 2018, we have engineered the manual safety so that it will be less susceptible to the influence of ammunition weight, velocity and loads. Any M&P 380 Shield EZ Manual Thumb Safety pistol produced before April 4, is eligible for a no-cost upgrade. To determine if this consumer advisory applies to your pistol, please utilize our serial number verification tool.
If your pistol is subject to this advisory, please call Smith & Wesson at 1-800-331-0852 or email us at MP380EZAdvisory@Smith-Wesson.com. A FedEx return label and shipping instructions to facilitate the return of your M&P 380 Shield EZ pistol will be mailed to you promptly. If you have any questions, you may call 1-800-331-0852 for more information.
WARNING: READ AND FOLLOW THE WARNINGS IN YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL. NEVER USE “PLUS-P” (+P), “PLUS-P-PLUS” (+P+); OR RELOADED AMMUNITION WITH THE M&P 380 EZ. ALWAYS USE FACTORY MANUFACTURED AMMUNITION PRODUCED TO SAAMI SPECIFICATIONS.

Re: S&W M&P 380 EZ QUESTION
I have 2 of them, one with the thumb safety and one with out. They are both very easy to rack the slide. My wife prefers the one with the thumb safety. she loves to shoot it. she doesn't have a lot of strength in her wrist\hands so this was the perfect solution for her.
