mtnbkr, it is a progression of crawl, walk, run. As cavscout74 mentioned, the best option is to take some formal instruction. Instructors can both teach you more efficient techniques, and correct any flaws in your existing techniques that are hindering your performance. After you know what parts of your skills to work on, then you can practice on your range with a shot timer. A timer is very important. How do you know if you are getting better if you don't have a way to time yourself?

"The 1911 was the design, given by God to us through John M. Browning, that represents the epitome of what a killing tool needs to be. It was true in 1911 and it's true now." - Col. Robert Coates commanding, U.S. Marine Corp Special Operations Command Detachment 1 (DET 1)
