So I'm having issues when shooting handguns.

That's exactly what every struggling shooter says. If you don't want to get better than don't dry fire. Keep doing what you're doing hoping some magical finger placement technique will tighten your groups up.

Shooting is a lot like golf. You don't get good at hitting a golf ball by hitting golf balls wrong a thousand times. You practice the movements, without a ball and without a club. You do it over and over and over until this unnatural body movement starts to feel natural. Then you just stick a golf ball at your feet and take the same exact swing you practiced, as if the golf ball wasn't even there. That is how you get good at shooting. Get the muscle memory perfect then do it for real.

Here's what I told the misinformed guy that posted above you...

Quiet the opposite. Right now he can not possibly feel what is going on with his hands and wrists with the noise and recoil and muzzle flash. He can't tell you if he's anticipating recoil or closing his eyes of whatever because he has no baseline for what a good shot feels like.

So you stand 3 feet from a perfectly blank white wall, press the gun out, focus intently on the front sight (don't blink) and press the trigger until it breaks. If the front sight moves even a hair then correct the movement. Hold your hands steady and firm, isolate the top two knuckles of your trigger finger allowing only those two knuckles to move the top of your finger straight back. Don't squeeze the trigger with your whole hand, don't hook it. Press through the break, see the front sight the entire time. Did it move even a little? Do it again. Do it again. Do it again and again and again. Dry fire a two hundred times a day, every day for a month. You continue to make the perfect dry fire shot until you can't make a bad one. THEN you to go the range and try it with real ammo. Only now your body knows exactly what the perfect shot feels like. You've done it so many times that any slight deviation you pick up on instantly. Now you know what's wrong, his you can start to fix it.

But what do I know? I only do this for a living.
