HEY - I resemble that remark.... It's not longer funny <grin>...
 
Perhaps rethink your basics - grip, trigger control, stance, etc. Regarding trigger control start slow and close in then increase distance and speed. Perhaps the following YouTube could be of some help:

 
One more thing you might look at is controlling the recoil instead of letting'er buck. If you watch the pros shoot the muzzle barely moves. Bottom line though is you control the gun with your core, forearms, wrist and grip. If the gun is moving in your grip, and/or your wrist and elbows are breaking their locked postion you are not absorbing the recoil with your core. Try tightening up you gut, and locking down on the gun with the thought that it's not going to move and shoot one at a time and see what body parts move with the recoil.
 
... you might look at is controlling the recoil ...

Exactly this!

A typical service-grade auto-pistol with typical service ammo (9mm - .45ACP) should not have more than a couple of inches of vertical muzzle flip ... and significantly less than this if you really learn to be a hard holder. As @oremike just stated, if you have to regrip between shots or have movement in the wrists or elbows your stance and grip are not serving you as well as they might be.

Edited to add:

Additionally, you should not see more than a 7-10 degree upward tilt in your barrel during recoil. Again, even less if you are a true hard holder.

I hope this helps!
