there is a bit of a difference between flinching and anticipating recoil. a flinch is reactive and the other proactive. dry fire and ball and dummy drills will help both, but the anticipation can be harder to fix. the handgun is going to recoil. don't fight it. you really can't fight it effectively. try watching the front sight and just letting the gun cycle. try not to actively push the gun back down, just let your firm grip get your sights back on target. easier to show than explain. ymmv.

i developed the same problem by trying to fight the gun back down on target to go faster during an ipsc match. it was proven to me that i couldn't fight it and it was faster to let the gun cycle.
