The EZ has a light recoil spring but is hammer fired. Hammer guns in general have a lighter recoil spring because hammer's mainspring resists some of the recoil. Striker guns have heavier recoil springs in order to compress the striker as the slide closes.

The P238 and P938 also have pretty light recoil springs - my P238 Legion is really light. I'd advocate for a one of these, or a Springfield 911 over the EZ.

The P365XL is not w/o its problems. The X-ray3 sights are failing.

Haven't heard of this before. I have 3 P365XLs and 2 standard P365's all with X-Ray3 sights and none have issues.

I also have a 380ez with a few hundred rounds through it and zero issues.
