After much reading on the forum I tried using the shield with a thumbs forward grip, and pulling the trigger at the first joint of my trigger finger. At 7 yards I was able to cluster the shots in the red zone of my target close to the the center. I shot 50 rounds today. I will probably put 100 to 200 rounds tomorrow, but the shooting is much improved. I also had trigger modified with an Apex reducing the trigger pull. I have to admit it has been frustrating.

I also shoot an S&W 9C and a Springfield 9XDS single stack sub compact and have not had these issues. I like the size of the Shield it is the smallest of the three, and has a very thin profile for CC.
