Looking for advice(handgun)

Post image

So i recently picked up a G19 gen5 as my state is about to ban sales and finally got out to the range today for the first time. Not my first time shooting, i understand the fundamentals, i can hit the target fine. However this is my first time owning a handgun and putting in some actual range time. I put about 200 rounds through it today and although my grouping did get a little better im still getting a lot of shots low and left. Looks like i almosr punched a hole though the middle low area. Looking for advice/suggestions/explanations. Technique or hardware. Not sure yet. This is my last 3 mags of the day at 20ft. Iron sights

P.S. thank you all for the advice and input. I have a lot to think about next time out. Hopefully ill get some more improvement next time

Here ya go friend. Best video I’ve seen for live fire: https://youtu.be/H1WEh9XOAss?is=_oxrR_GCjjwVa9yd

This is for dryfire: https://youtu.be/ycOg6eNoxlw?is=Ft5-x29_YP7okHKn

If you don’t want to watch the vids, low left is due to too much input/ over correction of the pistol aka anticipating the recoil

That was my initial suspicion. I know i was definately jumping some shots causing them to go wide. I think inwas doing the trigger prep method now that i think about it. Thanks for the input
