I'm firmly convinced there's a tipping point in grip size below which any real shootability is hard to achieve in normal human hands (meaning not GJM or other high level competitors who shoot EVERYTHING very well).
Having said that, the Shield is a great "get off me" gun, or a gun for deep concealment for those who don't have badge & credentials to hide behind because of their "casual" version of concealment.
