Don't matter; keep your focus on the front sight and concentrate on your trigger press. High bore axis? Yeah, it'll rock in your hand, but increase your isometric tension and recognize your follow-through's importance. . . .
. . . Once you get to the point that poor skills are not effecting accuracy, then you can worry about the various guns' characteristics (but at that point, you'll find those don't matter so much any more). So, why did I answer your post this way? Because if you're still talking about grips and sights and what model gun fits your hand, etc., you haven't improved your skills enough to worry about those characteristics. Handguns are the most difficult type of guns to shoot well, so people look for equipment-based changes to improve shooting them, when none of that makes any difference, compared to their skill. . .
. . . Hope that helps. It's not meant as a criticism in any way. I just want to help people save money wasted on chasing some magical combination of grip or sights and look at the real need: skills. If you have skills, the other stuff doesn't matter. You are better off spending money on a good 22LR and a reasonable-quality revolver and shooting, and shooting, and shooting. Get a good instructor, if you're struggling.
