GRIP STYLE -B- is best with semi's, for the reason that if theres a mis-hap which blows the clip out, your hand cupped underneath doesnt take a beating.

The first grip is a poor grip, the support hand is doing nothing by sitting under the gun. Grip the pistol with your firing hand firmly (don't squeeze too tight) and then wrap the support hand around as much of the firing hand/grip as possible. Grip the pistol as high as the design allows, keeping the bore axis high.
Also, in all pics you have waaaaay too much finger on the trigger. You are supposed to press the trigger with the pad of your index finger - if the trigger is contacted by the joint in your finger then you need to adjust your grip or back your finger out so that you're only using the pad/tip of your finger to press the trigger.
Also, make sure the weapon is in line with your arm, meaning when you look down your arm and over the slide it should be a straight line with your forearm bone in line with the frame of the gun, your wrist should not be bent to either side.

I'm fairly sure in those pictures, that I only have the pad of my finger on the trigger.
The only thing I have now is that the muzzle flip ends causing the tail of the gun to bang my thumb knuckle. I'm sure once I get these stitches out of my left hand, I'll be able to do more with my grip, as they get in the way (and hurt when yanked)
I'll get it figured out

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned one of the single most important things to shooting accurately.....and consistently...
BREATHING
The grip simply comes down to comfort and is actually secondary to posture.
Back in the day, I had several amazing instructors during my competition days. And they always stressed posture, concentration, breathing and sight.
The most common mistakes I see people make at the range is:
Not breathing throughout the shooting. People tend to hold their breath while pulling the trigger. This causes natural anxiety and stiffness in your arms.
Next is idiots who shoot with one eye closed. WRONG.... It causes a false depth perception and causes bullets to drift off target.
And finally is complete relaxation in your stance and arms. The only place where keeping something stiff and "locked" is with the opposite hand you are shooting with. This simply counteracts the recoil.
And, as it was mentioned...Don't jerk or pull the trigger. Squeeze it in a comfortable finger position. It will not be the same for everyone. Just make sure it isn't on a joint.

Steve, why do you need depth perception when shooting a gun?

I bet SteveVHT's rifle has two scopes.

Practice using a much smaller target at that short of a distance, it will force you to become a better shot.
Just like practicing guitar, if you just play the same old stuff that you have no problem playing you wont get any better, but if you push yourself and make yourself player harder stuff you eventually become a better player.

You need to go to a range with trained professionals and ask their advice. Sign up for their courses, too.
