Keeping with that theme, I tested range ammo in my Shield 9 at 50 yards. It’s pretty bad. 16” is about as well as I could do for 2 mags. Can’t hit sh** at 100..probably car door size.
I should try that again with better ammo and hopefully a better shooter.
When Denny was around and teaching at Sand Burr, the snubby class would shoot at 50y and 75y. Pretty much everybody with every gun could hit half-torsos at 75y at the end of the day. I don't know the inherent accuracy of the Shields, but small revolvers tend to have excellent inherent accuracy. Jerry Miculek pretty famously rung steel at 200y with a j-frame he held upside down because JM is a robot sent from the future to embarrass the rest of us.
