1. Are your sights covering the point of aim? They should. If you use a six o'clock hold (sights line up below point of aim), change.

2. If this isn't a problem, get to a range where you can rest your wrist/arms (not barrel) on a surface (sandbags are great) and concentrate on placing finger pad on trigger and pulling straight back. If it shoots close to where you aim it, you know you have been pulling the barrel down when you pull the trigger.

3. If you are still shooting low, have an experienced (and good) pistol shooter try it. If it still shoots low, the front sight may need to be switched. SW might do this if it is significantly low.
