picked up a g17 gen6 a little over a month ago to edc. as of right now I shoot a shadow 2 in CO. I used to edc an m&p 2.0, and previously shot a pdp 5" in CO. so that is the world I am coming from but now wanting to carry the glock and sold the m&p. for some reason, the glock just seems slow. idk if it is the trigger or what, but my splits are in the .28-.35 range when i'm trying to shoot on confirmation 3 (dot). when shooting my shadow 2 or PDP my splits are in the .16-20 range for confirmation 3 (dot). My shots are also hitting much less consistent, up down and left right, roughly within 4-8 inches of the center of the A zone at 7 yds with the glock. with the cz or pdp I am at the center of the a zone within 0-4 inches at 7 yards with much faster splits. I want to shoot the glock to the best of my ability but i don't know what is holding me back. has anyone had a similar experience switching to glock? were there any tips to adjusting to the different platform. i am trying to get used to the trigger as it is much different than what i'm used to. the grip angle is not that big of a deal as I just adjust how I index the gun and that seems to solve it and it points just fine as I have been dry firing it almost as much as I do my S2 for carry optics.

tldr how did you guys switch to glock and become proficient with it?

Looking for advice on: things to do to maximize my resume and experience and knowledge/skills before applying to a fed agency. Also things to avoid doing that could harm chances of an 1811 opportunity.

for context: I will commission as an Officer into the army national guard in 1 year (most likely into Signal, MI, or AG branch). I am currently in the NG right now and have been in for 3 years as well. I will also be looking into a local LE agency to start my LE career in, at this time. This will likely be the biggest city near me with approx. 5-600 officers and specialty units such as Gang unit, detectives, homicide, swat, and a couple Fed Task forces such as ATF and I think they also have a marshal TFO and either an fbi or dea TFO. My goal is after some years doing proactive police work, to go to the feds. right now I am 21yo male and will graduate with a bachelors in 1 year. I know some of you will suggest going federal asap but I would like to get experience on the streets first.

TLDR: what specific opportunities should I seek to maximize my skills and knowledge that I can apply to an 1811 job. What should I try to avoid when it comes to LE stuff and Army stuff, that could hinder my skills and abilities in the long run?

any advice is appreciated thank you.
