Consider what MoJo suggested and have a coach watch your gun as you press the trigger.

I am a lefty, sort of ambidextrous, who shoots right eye right handed. My shots fall left and low, today mainly, yesterday was nice and tight left/right but loose up/down. Granted I was learning my sight picture with my new pistol, but still I know that I anticipate the shot and when I pull the trigger the gun drops its aim. My grandfather has a glock with a laser on it and each time I would be able to see the laser fall about 6 inches at about 15 feet. Longtooth saw me do this yesterday. Today I wasn't as deliberate with my shots as I was with LT, and noticed my accuracy fall low/left from where I was aiming. 7 yds aiming at his chin, hitting in the ribs his right side below the armpit (if it were a full size target). If I slow down and can picture the target past the sights and think about the shot I can get past pulling the gun and pull the trigger only and hit my marks.
