One reason author recommends a very firm grasp. You are doing something wrong with the gun either just before or right as the shot breaks. Again, the barrel is likely straight, and the sights are likely fine. The problem is you. In other words, many right handed shooters shoot to the left, and many left handed shooters shoot to the right. All of these reasons can be corrected with some proper practice after diagnosed, as outlined in the bottom of this article.
While some of these mention your trigger finger, they can all actually be corrected with a proper, strong grip. And in fact, just about all shooting deficiencies can be overcome with a better grip. So many people have wrongly stated that the position of your trigger finger needs to be perfectly placed on the face of the trigger that it has turned into a myth that needs busting.
I have massive hands and in order to shoot small guns I have to put WAY too much trigger finger through the guard. Remember, the most important thing here is that you need to be able to pull your trigger straight back to the rear without pushing to either side. What matters more, is how the trigger is pulled and that is achieved by getting a proper grip.

Again, the best way to fix this is by strengthening your grip, which ultimately brings us to the next point —. Finally, and probably most prominent, is that your grip sucks. There can be a lot of things going on with your grip, and having a proper grip will help fix the above problems, as well you should still address the above problems separately, however because it can only help.
Grip it until it starts to shake, and then back off just until the moment it stops. Having a weak grip can wreak havoc on your accuracy, especially your follow up shots. Most people focus most of their grip strength on their dominant hand, wrongly assuming that a majority of their grip needs to come from that hand. For a right-handed shooter, that might mean pushing slightly to the left, like with one of the above scenarios or something else.
A lot of people shoot low and to either side. In fact, the two usually go together.
