To be clear the first problem occurs with and is exclusive to me shooting my Glock 19 and occurred consistently before the new gun purchase.
I recently purchased a HK USP 45, not in small part to the rave reviews provided by TS. I suck with it. Plain and simple. The week before I bought it I shot hole in hole with a stranger's gold cup on an indoor range.

I'm by no means expert or experienced or live by the gun. However, since I can relate to your endeavours I'd like to share my .02 baht worth of input.
I started out with months of theories before tyring a used 9mm full size USP. I was able to put 10 rounds in a ~.75" hole from 10 feet (yeah I know, lame). All I can remember from that time was gripping very tightly and having muscle fatigue in no time. However, that intro gave me a spark of confidence.
I then shot Glock 19 as well for a while (can't remember why I switched). I dried fired through the fundamentals zillion times w/ it. I did not get consistent group from time to time.
I tried my friend's tricked-out Kimber .45 and shot hole in hole at 5 and 7 yards. Along the way, I also occasionally tried P226, P99, XD, and P239. I suck with 'em except for the P226. I'm hoping to save enough and get P226R one day.
I then moved on to USP compact .40. The last session yielded 1.5"-2.5"-2.75" triangle from 3 rounds at 25 yards, and all rounds touching at 7 yards. Slow fire, ~2 seconds between shots.
I would assume that the USP .45 you bought is full size or tactical. That may be a big change for grip angle, feel, etc. My hands were conditioned to Glock 19 (from all the dry firing) and yet when I transitioned to USP .40, that pistol fit like a glove. No matter how I picked it up, pointed it out at eye level, 2 hands, 1 hand, the sight picture was always perfectly alligned.
My current problem is focus often subconsciously switched from frontsight to the target (both eyes open) as well as the common recurring ones such as slapping/jerking the trigger.
I too, at this point, feel stuck as far as progress goes. I've been thinking of attending basic, practical, and IPSC training class etc. However, when it comes to the shooting skills I covet, I fully and humbly accept TS' advice

With all those ramblings aside....in a nutshell, I would suggest you try the USP compact.
