i have been shooting for a while, i guess about 5 years regularly. i seems that no matter which handgun i pick up i will end up shooting right. most of my grouping will be at the 4 or 5 o'clock area of the target(low right). just can't seem to find the bullseye. i am starting to reload and this is not helping when i am accuracy testing my loads. i am left handed and left eye dominate, i this helps.

what am i doing wrong ?

It could be that you are using too much finger or anticipating recoil and trying to compensate for it before the shot breaks. Try using just the pad of your finger. From a rest, SQUEEZE the trigger slowly while concentrating on the front sight. Have someone else shoot your gun to be sure it is sighted in.

Try any dry practice? It often shows up problems.

You are using your entire hand to move the trigger. In other words you are squeezing the grip & using too much finger to release the trigger. Try dry firing, first pad of the trigger finger & only the trigger finger must move. It's not a pull but a press straight back.
