A lot of us buy hand guns for plinking, and self defense. Some of the smaller ones have fixed sights that don't move, and some have front, and rear sights that can be moved right, or left, for windage. If it shoots high - you need a taller sight, but the pistol you bought doesn't have a removable front sight. This used to be done, and can still be done, by filing down the notch in the rear sight to make it deeper. If it shoots low - you need a shorter sight. You can accomplish this by lightly filing the front of your sight to lower it. If it shoots to the left - you can slightly bend the sight to the left. If it shoots to the right - you can slightly bend the sight to the right. The best choice is to find a bullet weight, and load, that best suits your particular hand gun. You can also adjust for windage with your trigger finger to a small degree. Try pushing our pulling your trigger finger deeper into the trigger guard our pulling it out of the trigger guard. If you want to shoot left (right handed) slide your finger a bit further into the trigger guard, if you want to shoot right, pull you finger out of the trigger guard. You can also add a laser sight to some pistols.
If you don't want to do any of this yourself, then take the gun to a good gun smith. There are several fixes that can be done on any hand gun.
