A: Same exact firearm. The difference in price is due to the stock level.

A: No thumb safety on the EZ.

A: Howard, the (101524) has both the "Thumb Safety & Grip Safety". The (101525) has the "Grip Safety Only". Buds prices are normally tied directly to stock level. A large variance in stock level will cause a wide variance in the prices of similar models.

A: Buds may well have been able to get a much better deal no the 380 / 101524 from S&W than they got on the 101525. Maybe S&W was trying to move the 101524 models as the 'no thumb safety' models are more popular. One finds the same thing with the 9mm Shield models, and the only difference there is the safety. No way we here can really know. Buds prices are set based. on manufacturers' cost to Buds.

A: same gun buds on pricing "Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day."

A: It doesnt look like that pistol is CA compliant, a quick easy way to shop buds for firearms that are state compliant, is 1. go to the drop down menu at the top left. 2. select "products" tab 3. select "firearms" 4. Then select "CA compliant" This will give you a break down of the firearms buds has on their approved list for the state of California. You can also filter these results by, caliber, type (pistol, rifle, revolver, shotgun, etc.) Brand and many other options. I did see they have a 9mm SW shield ez. https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/type/Firearms_Pistols/exclusive/ca/manu/31

A: Saeed, No this gun is not on the CA AGO's roster of approved handguns. CA has not added any new pistols except 22 lr pistols to the roster in over 7 years. This firearm is too new to be listed. Here are the 4800+ firearms BUDs list that are CA compliant-----------https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/type/Firearms/exclusive/ca

A: Saeed, no Sir. There are currently no S&W M&P Shield EZ models, 9mm nor 380's on the CA DOJ approved Roster. ---- https://www.oag.ca.gov/firearms/certified-handguns/search?make=151003

A: Richard, this can really only be answered by knowing the Serial Number and contacting Smith and Wesson. You can see if Buds is willing to verify if this batch is affected since they have the Serial Numbers at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

A: "It does NOT apply to all SHIELD™ pistols. To determine whether your M&P Shield EZ Pistol is affected, check the label on the box to determine date of manufacture and if manufacture date is between March 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020 – your pistol may be affected. In this case (or if you are unsure of your date of manufacture), simply go to MPShieldEZrecall.com and input your serial number, or call 888-871-7114 ." That is a direct copy and paste from SW website, when they launched the recall all of the affected models had by buds and other retailers were sent back to SW. Buds only has one available serial number left of this gun "RJH6078" and when I run it through the recall tracker it says "not affected" Full recall info and serial number tool here https://www.mpshieldezrecall.com/
