Took my Shield to the range last week and was shooting steel at 11, 25 & 50 yards. I was using 124 grain plated round nose reloads with 3.7 grains of Solo 1000. It shot quite well out of my SR9c and Shield.
I noticed I was patterning tight at 11 yards with the Shield so I started shooting at the 6"x8" 25 yards without missing. I contemplated the 50 yards shot and finally took a chance. Before this, I never took such a long shot with a pistol without a scope. I actually hit the target center but about 2.5 " low. I was blown away. I am not that great of a shot! Needless to say, I didn't try again and was very satisfied with such accuracy.
