I've been shooting handguns for about 20 years, but for the past 4-6 weeks I've noticed I've been grouping about 2" right. I've always had a tendency to shoot slightly to the right, but recently this has become more pronounced and consistent.
I'm still getting about 2" groups at 10 yards, but always 2" right. This is happening with all my pistols, using a two-handed grip. I am right handed. Also, I have small hands and short, stubby fingers. I understand this problem is called thumbing. I'd appreciate any advice/tips on overcoming this problem. Thanks.

practice

Spend some time dry firing. Aim and press the trigger, if your sights twitch you are squeezing your gun and pulling the trigger. When dry firing feel the muscles in your hand, they shouldn't be tense. Focus on your trigger finger while you press the trigger. Nothing should move or tense as you press, except your trigger finger. Keep praticing that press until your sights don't twitch.

You might need smaller gun.
