That's OK. I've shot a castrated 10mm (40SW) and did not like the snappy recoil. It's the same reason I stay away from 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world...it can blow your head clean off....
Let's get semi-decent with a 9mm first. Then maybe get better with 45ACP. And after that we'll talk about a 10mm.

I put a laser light combo on my S&W MP40. That helped it quite a bit.

My experience is with the 10mm, I own 3 types and have shot 5 different 10mm's (Colt Delta Elite , S&W 1006, EAA metal framed, Glock's 20 and 29), is that they don't kick much more than a .45 ACP +p. Light weight .40's are snappier than a 10mm. After one shoots a .44 Magnum ( I love my 38 oz. S&W Mountain Gun 4" 629), the .45 and 10mm are indistinguishable as both are pussy cats.
Of course someone figured there's a market for semi auto 22LR replicas of the real thing:
Stop spoiling the fun :)

You have an MP40....I am very jealous of you now:)

As GN stated, I have the pistol (Military & Police S&W 40), not the SMG Machine Pistol. It is a huge hassle to actually legally own full autos in the US, but if I ever want one, I think I would go for the H&K MP5. I do want to own an FN FAL (what used to the SLR before INSAS was introduced) if I can, someday.

I have similar experience. with the 10mm, however, I have only experience with 2 types, revolver and semi-auto. I have two Kimbers, two deltas (one blue, one SS), and two Smith Revolvers (4" barrel, and 5 1/2" barrel. I have shot others Glocks in 10mm, too big for my hand shooting one handed, as I recall, the smith may have been too large as well.
I also do not see them kicking that much. PMC used to make a 170 grain round that I liked, now about there is to be found is 180 grain and 200 grain. I like the 200 grain for the revolver, and use the 180 grins in the semi-autos. Shoot the 4" 500 magnum one time and all the rest feel like .22s. :Dancing-Banana:
