I'm not a pro so I hardly feel qualified to answer such a question. I do know that dry fire - tons of it - helped me with my flinch and gave me a better feel for everything my trigger does during fire and reset. It's cheap training and can be done very conveniently.

There are many books on the topic with great drills. I'm working through Seeklander's Competition Handgun Training Drills now.

This may be a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. When you guys are dry firing, are you manually cocking the hammer each time or are you working the slide to cock the hammer?

Go to the range and have a friend load your mags for you. Have that friend mix in snap caps randomly in the mags. Depending on your range you could also do this single shots by having a friend "load" your gun behind your back then giving it to. Then start shooting.....and like it's been said a million times already.....PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

Enjoy all the practice.
