“You feel like you can protect others and then all of a sudden it comes down to: You can’t even protect yourself,” she told the Globe. “And that’s devastating.”

First up was the XD-E in 45 ACP. I have written a lot about the XD-E since it was first introduced in 9mm last year.

The Smith & Wesson M&P .380 Shield 2.0 EZ is a low-friction, low-recoil pistol chambered for .380 ACP with personal protection in mind.
