I was pretty sure I was just anticipating the recoil so I intentionally shot and concentrated on a smooth trigger pull and tried to put the inevitable bang out of my head and just concentrate on holding the sights onto the target point. YMMV but that helped for me.
I also echo the 'take your time' and rest answer to. I used to do target archery and I was told that in archery it takes several seconds for muscles to recover from the exertion off loosing an arrow. I have no reason to believe it is any less time in shooting a handgun, just not quite as much of an exertion on the bigger muscles.
