From what I've seen, that comes from two factors, upper body strength and relaxation. A couple of things that work for me, don't grip the pistol real tight and you have to relax. If you try and squeeze the pistol real tight to stop the movement, you wind up creating movement because the arms and shoulders tense up, causing movement, which creates a never-ending cycle. A firm grip and keep the body relaxed will improve your shooting.
Most of us have several thousand rounds of practice under our belts, you aren't going to shoot like Rob Pincus, Steve Reichert or Rob Leatham your first few times (Google the names, you'll understand). It takes time to develop what feels right and for your shooting to improve. If possible, take a course in basic pistol, how to hold, how to aim, in other words, the basics. You'll get there.
The most important thing: HAVE FUN!!!!!
