After people pointing me to the Smith&Wesson Shield in 2020,

I'm starting to think I have a hoarding problem with brass. I just got some more last week. I reload for everything I own and there is no possible way I can reload this much. Now if I had a dillon press, that would be a different story.

Same here
Im a brass whore also.
I pick everything up that is centerfire.
Some ill reload. Some ill trade or sell off.

As for your target picture. I don't think its bad at all. Just depends on what you are doing with your firearm.
For me personally I use mine for Carry. I don't competition shoot any more. So i base everything at the range on carry.
And the Shield isn't something I would consider a tac driver. Its small which makes them harder to be accurate with for the normal guy.
I bought one years ago when they first came out. Mine was actually the first one that was sold at our local guy years ago.
It dosent shoot near as accurate as my full frame 1911.
But its apples and oranges there comparing the two.

My Smith&Wesson M&P Shields are just to conceal and mess around at the range when I get out. Other short barrel one fits in the category as well. Others are thicker with longer barrels. I could conceal some, and have. But really they are for the house, vehicle, and range play. My 5" barrel ones don't fit with my stuff in my glove compartment of the truck. So they are pretty much in their safes. But I shoot them at the range at times. If I knew I was going into the woods I would probably have my Smith&Wesson M&P 10mm Performance Center M2.0 with me, with my 40 probably still conceal. I just hoard. I do it with fishing stuff and now stuff for the range. I have had staff at different medical facilities tell me I have to find something to push myself to do. And in my shape there's not much I can do. I know I frustrate people at the range because I don't move fast at all. So if I have to put up my targets, they are normally waiting on me. It stinks being gimpy, but doctors haven't fixed me yet. My nerves were shot yesterday, I couldn't steady anything after having to put my target up on the rifle range. I guess about 1/4 of the time a range officer will help, maybe. If that. Isn't like I did much yesterday, but I am paying for it.
