Handgun POA is rather sensitive to position of the gun in the hand . So if that changes with every shot your accuracy is not what it should be !
Repositioning the gun at each shot takes time and is a distraction.
A different grip [shape and material , rubber etc ] may help.
For dealing with recoil I find it very helpful to slightly bend my elbows which will then bend more in recoil .Shock absorbers ! without having the gun move in the hand . Very good idea for a 44mag .
