Just a short video on my Glock

Looks like you're fighting the recoil with your arms and letting it effect your wrist. Your wrists should be locked. And if you have someone push down or up on your arms when you're arms are in the same position they're in while holding a gun, you'll realize how easy it is to move them no matter how hard you try to stop movement, so by fighting the recoil with your arms, you could be losing a lot of accuracy. Just take your time and improve accuracy (although I didn't see a target so maybe what you're doing somehow works for you). It also looks like you're pulling the trigger instead of squeezing it. This could cause you to lose accuracy as well.

If you can keep both eyes open, do it. If not, don't worry too much about it.

Stop taking/letting your finger come off the trigger between shots. You're slapping the trigger and that will only serve to frustrate you and waste ammo with a Glock.

Work the reset, its the easiest and fastest way to improve your performance. In addition, take the slack out of the trigger on the first shot as well. The goal is to move the gun as little as possible while depressing the trigger, so remove all the slack prior to engaging the target.

Your left hand needs to be turned more. Point your thumb more towards the target. When your wrist(left) is rotated forward enough, if you were to open your fingers they should point towards the ground at an angle. if they're pointing down range you're cheating the "leading thumbs" grip and doing yourself a disservice. What often happens is your grip becomes a half and half of "leading thumbs" and "high thumbs" used by 1911 guys who ride the safety while firing. Keep your left thumb straight, and keep your fingers pointed more towards the ground(when opened).

I also see a flinch when you shoot, the blinking. Its natural and it will go away with more exposure. Focus on the shot, not the reaction after the trigger is depressed. You also have a classic flinch(as evident by the click near the end of the video). That too will diminish with exposure and application of the fundamentals. A lot of that will be removed with proper trigger discipline as noted above. The video below illustrates the slack and reset of a Glock trigger.
