Thanks,

Are you able to see where the gun is aimed when it fires? If not, try pulling the trigger more slowly while watching the sights. Don't anticipate when the gun will fire, just let it happen.

OKFC05 has proven mathematically that the bullets go where the gun is pointed when it fires. There is a very tiny change in gun position between the time it fires and the bullet leaves the barrel. He has also done the "Gun on a string" test, proving that freely floating gun sends it's bullets where the gun is pointed at the time it fires, incredibly close to the aim point.

Stop worrying about your grip and concentrate on not anticipating when the gun will fire.
