When I have groups like that, my self diaganosis is that I'm careful to slowly pull the trigger on the first shot, then get into a mode of "jerking the trigger" as soon as the sights are realigned. This causes the aim to go down and left. My solution is to:
1. Think about what I'm doing and slow down, and
2. Squeeze a bit harder with my weak hand (assuming a two-handed grip) to counteract the down and left motion. I don't mean to say that I tyry to push up and right or anything, just that I've found that a firmer grip helps control the group location.
I first blamed the sights, but soon found that the adjustible sight models didn't adjust enough to compensate, and I realized that every pistol in the safe (including the fixed sight models) couldn't be sighted incorrectly.
About grip force: an instructor once told me to grip that pistol as if someone were trying to take it away from me. That helped a lot. I try to mostly squeeze front to back with the strong hand (kind of a "crushing" grip, only not that hard) and left to right with the weak hand (like a clam shell).
Good luck!
