This is one of the problems I have with accuracy. I tend to shoot low and left, but only after the first round. This video was helpful, as were others from the same shooting coach.

I usually carry a 632 UC, which is a revolver chambered in 32 H&R Magnum. It has very little recoil, so I can shoot a bit faster and more accurately. I'd really like to shoot my 9mm guns better (9mm is MUCH cheaper), but it has been a challenge. What put me on the road to improvement was an understanding that several different issues are in play on every shot.

This video talks about managing the trigger press. The other things that I struggle with are grip pressure (putting pressure in the right place instead of tiring out my hands after one box of ammo), and proper tension in my wrists (so the sights snap back on target without bouncing around).

The key for me has been to slow down. I find that if I concentrate more and take my time, I can do most of the things some of the time. Apparently, more focused practice is better. Who knew? ๐Ÿ™‚
