If your grouping is 6x6 then it is you not the gun. I have a SR9c and I can tell when I jerk it or when the shot is good. I never shoot paper so have no clue what my grouping is. I just concentrate on hitting the steel plates. I can tell when it is a good shot or if I flinched. If the sights are aimed at target when trigger breaks the round will hit where I aim.

Never shot a pistol much before this one so I am a beginner.

What size spread is considered good at the 6-7 yard range? I've been pretty happy with my shots so for, being that this is the first handgun I've ever shot.

I'm so proud of the new SR9c owners!

Seriously though, just work on your trigger break to slowly minimize your flinch. You will never be able to get completely rid of it forever (I still flinch at times) but you can do your best to focus on the trigger and imagine just pushing it straight back without the sight moving.

I strongly suggest you do a lot of dry fire practice. If you removed the magazine disconnect safety (and I hope you have) you can dry fire the gun without a magazine in. If you haven't removed it, dry firing with the magazine out can damage the striker. If you haven't removed it and want to, watch this video. It's very easy:
