I strongly suggest you do a lot of dry fire practice.
THIS.

To maximize the benefit of dry firing, try "pencil shooting". (I know this works in 1911's).
-Insert a sharpened pencil into the barrel of the pistol (insert eraser so that lead is pointing forward).
-Hang a sheet of white paper on the wall with a dot the size of a BB drawn in it.
-Face the wall with the barrel of the pistol only an inch or two from the wall
-Aim at the dot. Fire. Cycle. Repeat.

The marks from the pencil popping out of the barrel should be in the same place.

Now all that said, google "Ball and Dummy Drill".

All the advice on this board combined will not be half as useful as ball & dummy. On the range, fire at least 2 mags and THEN do B&D. You'll totally diagnose yourself. This is a time tested and proven training tool that the military has used for a century. I've overseen small arms training for thousands of personnel and I will personally testify that It works.

I've been an advocate of pencil shooting for a LONG time. My dad showed me that and that's how I learned trigger control and breathing techniques for accurate shooting of a hand gun.
