I'm confused a bit about this item.
Does it do anything, if you don't have the Quick Draw feat?
It says:
"If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you may don or put away a quickdraw shield as a swift action combined with a regular move."
Now the normal rules for readying a shield include this:
"If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you can ready or drop a shield as a free action combined with a regular move."
So... is a quickdraw shield suddenly slower to equip than a normal regular shield? (swift is a tiny bit slower than free action)
I know quickdraw can be put away as swift too, and normal shield just dropped, but lets assume I really only care about putting it on.
I'm sure that I'm missing something really simple again, but what?

You don't have to take the slower action, and putting away the shield quickly is where it gets its use.
