When I shoot my revolver, I will load empty shells in a couple random spots, spin it, and close it. This immediately exposes any flinching or anticipating I'm doing. I squeeze the trigger, the gun moves slightly downward and no round is fired.

Do that a couple times and you learn to remain neutral pretty quick.

It's not as easy on a magazine-loaded pistol. I imagine you'd need to get some purpose-made dead rounds. And the randomization is harder.

Snap caps make great "dummy" rounds for these drills on semi-automatics.

Randomize by loading a few mags with different patterns of blanks, and then shuffle the mags until you don't know which is which.

Blanks fire/have recoil. Dummy rounds exist that you can manually extract though.

Or have someone load them for you.
