BTW, when I say it won't feed, what is actually does is not go fully into battery. Misses by about 1/8". Kinda spooks me, since I'm convinced that a Shield will fire slightly out of battery. Not 1/8" out, but enough out to rupture the case.

In order to make ammo that will shoot in all of my guns, some bullets have to be seated more deeply to keep them from getting stuck on the lands of the barrel. Compact pistols don't have any room to spare between the chamber and the rifling.
