Try to get a hold of some dummy rounds, snap caps if you must. Mix them in with your range ammo and keep your eyes closed when grabbing a handful of bullets to load your mags. Watch how badly you flinch when you drop the hammer and the gun doesn't go bang. If you are expecting a live round and don't know you have a dummy in the pipe, you'll be amazed. Eliminating that flinch is the key to becoming a handgun marksman. Sometimes you can watch folks around you flinching after they pull the trigger and the slide is locked back and they're out of ammo. When I learned to rid myself of this flinch, my accuracy increased exponentially.
