I recently acquired a used 9mm Shield. It is in excellent condition, and functions perfectly. My only complaint is that I have yet to find any ammo that it will group smaller than about 8" at 25 yards. My Glock 19 is not a tack driver, but it will always do better than 4", and my wife's compact SIG P320 will generally beat 3". I'm wondering if that is just the way they are, or if I got one from the lower tail of the bell curve.
I realize these are not bullseye guns, I realize they are harder to shoot than a 1911, yada, yada, yada. I carry around my farm, and often have to shoot at a varmint which is farther away than 7 yards. I also like to shoot field pistol in the "Bordello" category. Eight inch groups simply are not good enough for that sort of shooting. This little cannon sort of appeals to me, and I hope some of you have had some experience making them shoot better that you would share with me.
