looks like you're tightening your fingers on your trigger hand while squeezing the trigger (assuming you're a righty).

work on gripping hard with support hand, and relaxing your grip on your firing hand.

get a buddy to help you with trigger squeeze drills.
with his back to you have him either load or not load a round, and hand you the pistol. You aim at the target, and squeeze the trigger. If it shoots then YAY! if it doesn't go off (i.e. he DIDN'T put a round in), and you flinch or push the muzzle, then dryfire 5x GOOD trigger squeezes. Continue this for 30-50 iterations (you should use a MAX of 10 live rounds).

Either do this with an empty chamber, or a dummy round if you're concerned about damaging your gun. I've tried and it doesnt work well with an expended casing instead of a dummy round.
