You're shooting consistently in the same place, which is great.

On the "shooting high", you may simply need to adjust how you "hold". With some handguns you hold at 6 o'clock (place front sight "under" the target), with some you hold right on (place front sight "covering" the target). If you are holding on the target, try holding at 6 o'clock. I prefer 6 o'clock holds since I like leaving the target unobscured.

On the "shooting left", try using the pad of your finger on the trigger and pulling straight back (sometimes people use the joint of their finger and squeeze, thus inadvertently shifting the gun to the left). Try dry firing to see if you are shifting the gun, or flinching. If you can't find any reason why you are shooting left, maybe you should benchrest it to judge whether the sights need adjusting - but sight adjustment should be a last resort.

I've got to try a SIG someday. Everyone seems to like them.
