Ya this lcp has a VERY short tilt barrel and so this compact suffers in a big way on the accuracy.
I did carry a short single stack 9mm for a while. The Kelt-Tec PF9. It was light years more accurate, still small enough to conceal well. Which like the lcp was it's design's main purpose.
I sold it because the grip being so short (even with the figured mag-stop), I could only get a strong handle on it with my forefinger, middle finger and a bit of my ring finger. So it always felt like it wanted to come out of my hand (to it's credit, it never did). But I sold it for the smaller .380 when the LCP and LCR first came out.
I do feel that unless it's a very close situation I really would be hard-pressed to hit much beyond 20-30ft with this lcp.
Does the s&w shield have an adequate grip? Really that was the maindrawback for the Kel-Tec for me.
