If you shoot a real 10mm round you will know it but nothing that serious.
It will get and keep your attention.
I am guessing off the shelf ammo is not what it could be?
I've shot many a magnum J-frame SW that has far more snap than a 10 mm. The 1911 is a relatively stout platform that soaks up a lot of the recoil. Now the slides tend to be beefy so you have some reciprocating weight.
My experience with first time 10mm shooters is their response tends to be, "Well, That wasn't too bad".
Go rent one with some Sig 1250 fps ammo or maybe someone nearby will let you shoot one. The Sig ammo is a decent approximation of the original loads. Sure isn't the screamers mentioned up thread or the downloaded stuff on the store shelf.
Here is a pic of a proper 10mm by CM...he knows how to do 10 mm!
I was hoping you would post that pic.
....and that is daytime picture!
Put some loads by the wizard in it and do the dusk thing......
Yep....need to get my reloading stuff set up again.
Turbo had some of his 10mm loads - I'm guessing Mrs. Turbo shot them all.

Nope, there is most of a box still around.
So I would consider it right in line with the original Norma level loads.Sig FMJ or JHP is 180 gr @1250 fps and 624 ft/lbs.

I am a little disappointed in her....
