Two things come to mind.
1 GET A GIRLFRIEND (even if you have to blow her up). It is wrong to kiss your gun goodnight.

2. Are you aware that the caliber or the barell length of your Glock does not determine accuracy? It's the shooter.
I disagree with #2. Caliber and barrel length have EVERYTHING to do with accuracy. The longer the distance, the more caliber and barrel length come into play.

I have a Glock 30 Gen 3 (Compact .45 ACP) and absolutely LOVE it. I shoot it as well as I shoot my Kimber Custom Shop Pro CDP and my Colt National Match. Makes no sense, but I attribute it to just the comfort I feel with it. It's certainly a psychological thing, I believe.

I have a brand new Glock 22 Gen 3 (.40 S&W Full Size) that I am really not liking. I am all over the place with that thing. My favorite round is the .45 ACP and I love the .40 S&W as well. I have a Browning Hi-Power .40 S&W that shoots like a freakin' Cadillac and I can dot the Is with it. Have no clue as of yet what it is, but I've only put a few rounds through it. Bought the G22 brand new and bought the G30 used.

I am really wanting a G20 in 10mm and am planning on a drop-in G31 (.357 SIG) barrel for the G22.

Anyway, I don't know if I'll ever find one I feel more at home with than that little G30. I have grown up around guns and shooting all my life and one thing I know is that some guns have an advantage over others as they just feel right. It's something that's always held true for me.

Before retiring LE, I was always issued Glocks. My favorite became the .40 once I saw what it could do (a double tap at 8 feet) and it looked like 2 cans of vegetable soup came out of the back of the perp, that was the G22, but my favorite became the G23.

Now that I'm retired, I switched over to 1911 Colts, mostly. But, I still know Glocks are the most reliable, fewest parts, 5.5 lb trigger, super service, accurate...

Overall the .40 cal. It's in a good size platform, has very good capacity and works for a variety of tasks. Great bullet selection so it makes a top choice for home defense with moderate recoil, and loaded right can make a good woods gun for deer and hogs. My favorite overall model is the G23, I can run a 180gr HST for concealed carry or home defense, or handload a 180gr XTP to 1200 fps in it for the woods, and in a longer barrel G35 that load can break 1,300 fps easy, which is square in 10mm territory.

I've owned every caliber Glock (9mm, 357 Sig, .40, 10mm and .45 ACP and even a GAP) and really, I like them all! My second favorite, is the Gen4 G21, it's a close second to the G23.

My concealed carry pistols are currently all 9x19. But none of them are Glocks. However, I do own a Ruger SR40 that I really like. And I just purchased a Glock 35 G4, which is my first Glock pistol. I like it so well, I intend to purchase a Glock 19 G4 in the near future.

For concealed carry, I'll stick with 9x19. I'll continue to use the .40 in full size pistols that I'll reserve for OC, the range, or home defense.
