my 226 was also amazingly accurate right out of the box. shooting 147gr slugs i only had to adjust for windage out to 25 yards...need some holdover out at the 50 yard line. at 7 yards, your shots should be right on top of each other.

the low left grouping does sound like you are jerking the trigger. assuming that you are still using the standard grips, the "short" trigger might be a big help...better trigger control

i also highly recommend that you have someone else test your pistol for accuracy to determine if it is really you (most likely)
