Yep, "subconscious anticipation". Pretty common. Beyond simple trigger time (and in the midst of same), one of the best ways to overcome it is to TRY to hold the sight picture through the recoil. It's virtually impossible to do with guns as much "ooomp" as light 45s, but doing so gives the bullet time to get out the short barrel before subconsciously trying to compensate for the upcoming recoil ...
You guys talking about these things are making me think I might "need" one!
