Here are some possible causes for hitting low and to the left IF you are shooting right handed.
1. If you are anticipating the shot (you may not know that you are), this quite often will have a POI that is low and to the left. Buy some snap caps and have someone load a mag with a mixture of live ammo and the snap caps. Focus on the front sight. When you hit the snap cap, your sights should not move from the point you were aiming.
2. If you have too much trigger finger, this will push the POI left for a right handed shooter.
3. If you grip tighter with you right finger tips (if shooting right handed) as you fire, this will push the POI left.
4. If you are lobstering with your right hand as you fire, this will move the POI low.
You may have adjusted the sights on the other handguns to help compensate for improper form. If you do not do the proper Follow Through, this will affect a longer barrel firearm more than a snubby. Go to a gun range and have a Certified Range Officer or Instructor try it out. More often than not, it is the shooter's form. Check out the following link.
