i find one problem i might have is when i fire the handgun i will unconsiously do a slight down/forward/push type of movement with the gun somewhat like anticipating recoil/ attempting to reduce muzzle flip im not sure. At least this is what ive seen sometime when a round doesnt go off for some reason or another.

Sure. As has been said before, "What is the difference between 'timing the gun' and 'flinching'? About a thousandth of a second." 
Pride and fear are emotions, which hope for an outcome. Outcomes take your attention from the present, where the shooting happens, to the future. It is totally impossible to do anything in the future, because it hasn't happened yet. The key to shooting your best is to be present as the witness of the shooting. Do not judge, do not give yourself anything to live up to. We can only shoot as well as we have trained ourselves to shoot. To try to shoot only induces stress. Be content with your current ability. And accumulate practice to improve that ability. Consolidate, build strength where you feel weakness. We cannot raise our ability until we accept our current limitations. Practice dissolves limitations. Matches simply define where the current limits exist. The game of shooting is all about redefining our limits.

Yup, everybody does it at one time or another. The anticipation flinch is currently the bane of my girlfriends existence, and we are working nonstop to cure her of that habit.

Dry fire, dry fire, dry fire. Or may Airsoft, Airsoft, Airsoft.
