Natural pause at the bottom of your exhale breath, squeeze the trigger then. Do dry fire, a lot. In the Marines we spend about a week of dry firing for several hours a day focusing on breath control, pausing to rest our muscles and not just strong arm it, all before we ever shoot live rounds. A mantis dry fire system is the bees tits for this. For handguns, get some snap caps and blind load your magazines or cylinders with a mix of live ammo and the snap caps - this will train out your flinch response to be after the gun has actually fired. Shoot with a friend who knows their stuff and can coach you. Spring for a pro coach once in a while if you can spare the money.

For slow fire, make yourself a shooting log book. When the gun fires, pick up a pen and mark in the book where on the target you were aiming the moment it went off, then mark where it actually hit. This can help you iron out the fundamentals, and if you know your weapon you can diagnose if something is wrong.

Get yourself the tried and true guns (ar-15 in 5.56 NATO and a striker fired 9mm from reputable brands - if you want specific recs, just ask) don't waste your time on chasing the latest bang wiz or coolest nostalgia trapt. And iron sights are good to train the fundamentals on, there's nothing wrong with them. I feel as though learning on iron sights can help you build awareness of your muscle control and fundamentals a lot easier.

Also, get your eyesight checked and get glasses if you need them.
