For some reason I'm not able to hit anything I'm aiming at with a subcompact 9mm I rented at even five yards. I have good form, the gun doesn't flop around due to recoil, I've been around guns for forever but have not had much actual experience shooting.
I am gonna buy this certain gun soon but I don't want to have it and be shit with it for however long it takes to get decent. I get next to zero practice as it is. Do anons have any tips for using my rare practice time even more efficiently? Should I start at near point blank and work up from there? Should I get something that isn't a meme subcompact, like my second choice which would be a certain .357? I could get a bigger gun but I've seen people do well at 20yds and more with the one I want, so it's not impossible so it has to be just me. None of that "you need a better gun to be better" shit. I'd rather start with something hard to get good. And I always have pic related if it'll help me with practice.
So say I'm going to buy a P938 as my first non-.22 pistol and you can't talk me out of it, any tips for accuracy?

Where are your groups relative to the target? If low left (like 90% of new shooters), work on your grip and trigger pull. Squeeze harder on the front and backstrap with your dominant hand without shaking, make sure your left hand doesn't leave a gap at the bottom of the grip, and squeeze the trigger slowly with your intermediate phalanx roughly parallel to the target.

Shoot a lot. 9mm is dirt cheap and every gun has little quirks that you might or might not like.
There's a million little things that you can learn about and read about and know to improve, but ultimately you just have to keep practicing and putting rounds downrange. Book learning will help, but you have to actually do it to apply it, and it will have more value as you get more experience.

So if you're shit with a 938 and I can't talk you out of it.
I'd say you're going to need a lot of dry firing and a lot of ammo.
