It is slowing you down. You can't shoot very fast if you have to re-acquire your grip between each shot.

It could be just a habit, in which case you could probably eliminate it with a dedicated dryfire program where you focus on keeping a solid grip through an entire string. You might also be able to work on it at the range with a .22LR handgun where the recoil is so light that it doesn't distract you enough to take your mind off keeping a solid grip.

It could also be the result of a shooter/handgun or shooter/handgun grip mismatch. If you can't maintain a proper grip on the gun during recoil, then you will be forced to reacquire your grip after each shot. If this is the issue, then you'll need to work on improving the interface between you and the handgun. Grip strengthening exercises might help, a grip that fits you better might help and more aggressive grip texturing would likely help. Finally, if you can't find ways to make progress in any other way, shooting something with lighter recoil could help.

Or it could be a combination of the two issues.
