I just put 50 rounds through my new Shield. This is the first striker ive ever owned and of course the trigger feels much different than my CZ75 in single action mode.

What I noticed was that I consistently shot about 3-4" left from 21'. I could keep the groups pretty tight but the only way I could hit the center target was to aim 3-4" right. I had good precision but poor accuracy. I don't now if this was my fault due to the different trigger feel and maybe I was squeezing too much with my finger or if the gun needs the windage tweaked. I was by myself so unfortunately I wasn't able to let someone else shoot to see how their accuracy was.

When I bought my CZ there was a ballistics report included that showed a 5 shot grouping from the factory which was excellent. The Smith did not include ballistics (as far as I can tell). Surely they wouldn't ship it from the factory being off that much would they?
