Practice is the only way you'll really iron those things out. Don't overthink it, you're just squeezing a chunk of plastic and pushing a little lever with your finger.

I'm a lefty, and switched to Glock a few years ago. I shot consistently right with good groups. Really problematic, because I could shot center of target with 1911s and Sigs.
I wondered why.
So, I research my few areas of expertise on this issue.
Pistol-Forum was my first research stop.
I found Surf. To my mind, he explains exactly why the Glock shoots right or left.

The third video is the video to watch and the good info starts about 16 min.
Surf has other videos on the subject as well.
Surf cured my issue.
Also there is a Pat McNamara video floating around here somewhere where he says that he cured his problem with more finger on the trigger.

They say that the best way to learn something new is to read an old book. I'm working on Askins' "The Art of Pistol Shooting" which was originally published in 1939. How does he recommend teaching trigger control?
"During the first week of snapping practice no attempt should be made to aim the revolver. Simply hold the weapon in firing position, and under the vigilant eye of a coach, squeeze the trigger. Continue the snapping practice for fifteens minutes every day. After a week of concentration on the trigger pull, setup a target…"
In other words, after almost two hours of learning to manipulate the trigger without disturbing the sights, then you add a target and a generous one at that.

- If you aren't dry practicing every week, you're not serious.....

Just got a nice text from Robbie saying how much he enjoyed Wayne in class.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
