Initial thoughts after shooting?
I didn't end up getting to hit the range with the 43x. Probably mid-Sep until I get to shoot it. Debated hitting up 808 in the meantime. 
What HP load did you end up choosing? I've been shopping around for some. Just waiting to see what comes back in stock for a next order with Kaleo.
I shot a good group at 5yrds, so went to 15yrds to see what I can do if HPD requires the armored car test for CCW. All my shots were low left outside of a basketball size. So I immediatly used my VP9 and 8 of 10 were inside basketball and of that 8; 6 were inside jabone. So I thought it's prob the new gun break in.
I then shot another 100rds at 5 yrds and went back to the 15yrds. This time I was much better. Like 7 of 10 inside basketball, and of the 7; like 4 inside jabone.
I was watching an old Tier1 Concealed RDS vid (2 years old) and 1 guy was running the P365 and mentioned that 15yrds is pushing the limit for a small gun, let alone anything at 25yrds.
So I'm just trying to justify my accuracy diff between the VP9 and Shield at 15yrds.
But overall, I like the Shield. Like i've stated prior,it has a specific role (polo shirt tucked into slacks IWB). Aloha shirt untucked will be VP9.
I used Gold Dot 124gr (non +). And did notice it's snappier than range 115gr FMJ. But both at 5yrds was inside golf ball (slow to moderate fire). Rapid fire (mag dump) was basketball at 5yrds.
