I didn't have any problem with the Shield 9.0 right out of the box. But the Shield EZ liked to stove pipe. As she's approached 500 rounds it does it less. Maybe once a magazine. Still way too much. And being a 380 she'll need the entire magazine ;-)
The EZ has a light recoil spring (thus EZ to rack) however one would hope they've designed it plenty strong to feed. If she's failing to feed it's more likely to be limp wristing than the ammo. The Shields have a nice long feed ramp.
This is the issue that I have. It works fine for my husband but stove pipes for me and have to be very aware of how I hold it.
