It works for ccp as well
You can always shoot a semi auto in a higher Division if it complies with the respective division rules.
In fact, since I was using full power 9mm ammunition, my classifier counted in BUG, CCP, SSP, and ESP.
So depending on what you declare in a Tier I match (pick ONE) you could choose any of those divisions.
Not to say that the Shield is equal in the higher divisions compared to a pistol specifically made for the higher division.
