I do range trips with others, so we swap different guns. The exposure is fun and sometimes eye opening.
Today I swapped rapidly (like 2 mags on one then the same on the other right after) between a DAO S&W 5946, an M&P Shield, and a 617 revolver. I used a five-section target, so each gun gets its own target area, and typically shoot at 15 yards. I found that I could shoot the two 9mm guns pretty much identical accuracy. The spread, number of holes one on top of another, etc. are more or less the same.
But I noticed that my trigger control was really sloppy on the M&P, seemingly because I was shooting the others which have long/hard trigger pulls. I even caught myself doing an unintended double tap on the striker fired gun.
The only striker fired gun I have is a G19. So shooting the shield, which has a great in hand feel and is fun to shoot (comments of a gritty trigger ended up being less of a thing than I had thought from prior unloaded handling) was sort of a new/different experience to me. But I feel that it's been different than my Glock.
So, is there a good way to work on this? Not sure it truly matters, like mentioned, both were shot with similar accuracy. But I didn't like feeling "out of control" for lack of better terms, on the striker gun.
Thoughts/suggestions?
