I have experienced the exact same situation; with Ruger pistols. My solution in creating one hole ten shot groups was to go to a pistol scope with a very fine reticle/crosshairs.

You have to be able to really see where your intended POA and POI are; most red dots cover far too much of the target at 50 yards for any amount of serious work, considering accuracy.

I regularly shoot .22lr pistols out to 125 yards and a fine reticle/crosshairs scope makes a world of difference; I shoot both irons and scopes on my .22lr pistols, fine reticle/crosshair scoped makes for smaller groups.
