How to stop "Flinching" and recoil anticipation

I try and get a .22lr that is as similar as possible to my center fire guns, with the same style grips.
That said, the two guns you describe aren't target accurate guns, at least not the Walther.
My memory of the PPK/S is one of the hardest, worst DA trigger pulls ever, combined with a small gun, makes the first shot a prayer. I don't even know if a good gunsmith can really help either of your guns trigger pull wise. Plus, if you have large hands, controlling a gun with small grips is a nightmare.
I have two guns, that without custom grips I could not control or shoot. Too much effort into just holding on, and, they REALLY recoiled.
So, in short:
Get light loads for both guns
Both calibers tend to have a reputation for recoil not justified by their ballistics
If you don't want to put custom grips on the guns, wrap the grip with a tennis grip, or something soft, that builds the grip up, so you can hold it lightly, and concentrate on pulling the trigger. This is a low cost way to find out if it's grip size that is affecting your shooting.
Follow through on your target
concentrate on the front site, and sort of press it forward, on to the target. Concentrate on the follow through, not the gun going off.
Might be a 22lr conversion for the 92, don't know, but, worth checking.
Call up a gunsmith or two and see if they can slick up the triggers on both guns.
Fumbler also has an excellent point. After shooting REALLY heavy recoiling guns,
these should seem easier. That said, some little guns, like scandium Smiths, are just plain nasty, no matter what you shoot before it.
Again, if the grips don't fit your hands, and you combine that with a horrible trigger,
your accuracy is going to be a problem.
