One of the more critical aspects of handgunning is the grip. Talking about the hand here and not the handle. Some designs are more forgiving than others, but all handguns require consistant tension of the strong hand at the moment of discharge to shoot to the same point. It takes more strength to hold a gun offhand than it does to set it on a pillow, and therefore more grip tension which reduces muzzle flip. Barring a jerk on the trigger, a handgun will generally shoot lower off-hand than from bags because recoil is more controlled with the firmer grip. This is why you must verify zero in the manner in which you will be likely to use the gun, which in most cases will not be from a bench.
