If you're truly aiming dead center before your shot, and then missing, it is most likely because you are anticipating the recoil of the shot and flinching, consequently pulling your shot off target. [This is what I'm talking about] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7-Xk3wg2iA)
Dry firing helped reduce my shooter anticipation/flinch immensely. When I go to the range I actually dry fire each target 3 times while watching my front sight, making sure I don't pull it off target during my trigger pull. I do probably 30-40ish dry fires before I even put any live ammo in my gun.
I would recommend getting some of [these snap caps] (https://www.amazon.com/Azoom-45-ACP-Caliber-Snap/dp/B000U430Y4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499923454&sr=8-2&keywords=a+zoom+45+snap+caps) and doing 50-100 trigger pulls a day until you pull the trigger without any movement in the front sight as the hammer falls.
Practice, practice, practice. Concentrate on your trigger pull and grip. Also you may be flinching. Have someone load your mag for you and mix some dummy rounds into the mag randomly. You will notice your gun dip when you fire the dummy rounds if you are flinching.
Maybe Glocks are different but you shouldn't do that without one of these in the chamber. https://www.amazon.com/Azoom-45-ACP-Caliber-Snap/dp/B000U430Y4
Pro-tip when dry firing - put a penny on the end of your muzzle/slide (near your front sight) and pull your trigger. It shouldn't fall if you are doing it right...Next level (much harder) - use a spent casing instead of the penny.
This has greatly improved my trigger pull, personally. The best way I heard it described was like this: think of your time spent at home doing practice draws and dry fire drills as studying and then your range time is the test. I use to view range time as actual practice time, but now I realize how much you can work on at home too.
Also, not all snap caps are created equally - I prefer the a-zoom ones myself, as they have a little rubber piece where the primer would be that your striker pin can hit. I used to use the all plastic ones, but they would eventually crack and left plastic crap all up in my pistol. And who wants to have to clean the weapon from just dry firing? No bueno.
But yeah, cheers to your new weapon! She's a beauty ;-)
Sorry you had to learn that lesson the hard way.
Would these Snap Caps have helped?
