If you are practicing for self defense...you do not need to have perfect accuracy as you will likely only shot someone up close and aim for center body mass. Put several rounds there each time. Use silhouette targets that allow for that. Just practice a lot and make it automatics. Switch it up a bit at first until you find where you are most comfortable and accurate and practice that.

If you can actually point your gun in the right direction and calmly get off a few rounds without shooting your foot, you are probably in pretty good shape. Anything better is gravy.
