You didn't say what caliber your Shield is, but I'm assuming it is 9mm. I have a 9mm Shield 1.0 with nearly 6,000 rounds through it, and the accuracy is OK, (but just OK), out to 15 yards, and poor beyond that. I have found that I get about a 20-25% increase in accuracy using Winchester NATO 124g rounds for target practice, so that's all I use.
If you otherwise like the Shield, here's my suggestion to go way, way up in accuracy: Get a Shield 45. With my Shield 9, using Win NATO ammo, I can place 45-50% of my shots into a 4"x4" square at 15 yards. With my Shield 45, it's 70-80%. If you don't mind giving up a round in favor of a huge increase in accuracy, go for the Shield 45.
