Handgun shooting tips.

I've recently joined a pistol club

Things are going very well, but I'm getting lots of different and conflicting advice on holding the gun, stance etc. I like to stand with my left foot forward, pistol in my righthand inline with my forarm. Elbow slightly bent, left hand cuped around my fingers and trigger guard.

I'm using a hire gun from the club, it's a little Russian made .22 target pistol. Quite nice to shoot actually. A German guy has been tutoring me and lends me his Peter Stahl .45ACP with compensator, that I like too.

Some of the club guys said I should be shooting one handed but the shoots go all over the place, whereas two handed I'm hitting a number of bull's at 25 meters.

What do you guys do?
