Yep, what they said.
Really what you need to do is find out where the gun shoots in relation to your sight picture. Take your time and fire some rounds 6 or so with good fundamentals aiming dead center, center mass, with the front sight post even with the rear sight notch and centered (This is proper sight allignment. Focus on your front sight and the target should be fuzzy, out of focus (this is proper sight picture). Doing this drill will show you a group of holes. This group of holes will tell you your point of impact on the target. With a fixed sight gun your pretty much stuck with what you got.
So now you have a group. If the group is close together and in the center-ish of the target, you can tell if the gun was made for center mass or 6 o'clock hold. If the gun was made to use a 6 o'clock hold the group would be higher than center mass, you just need to put your target's center on top of the front sight, (sight picture - like a lolly pop on a stick for a bulls eye). If the group is pretty much in the center of the target then the gun is made point of aim - point of impact and aiming at the center will do it.
If your group is left or right then you may adjust your point of aim to compensate at further distances. Just keep your sights alligned and the group of shot holes will let you know. If the group is left you aim to the right etc. Up close, 7 yards and in shouldn't really matter for a handgun, you will hit your target enough to eliminate a threat.
Shoot groups first, several of them on clean targets, then adjust aim as appropriate. Or if your gun has adjustable sights move them to adjust the point of impact to the center of the target.
Good luck. This is just my 2 cents.
