Minor Loads

I have heard that the .40 SW loaded to minor power factor in the 165 and 180 grain loads recoil less than the 9mm 124 grain loads loaded to minor.

In any case, what velocity can I run 155 grain loads in the 40 to simulate 9mm recoil? I've run 155 grainers at 1050 FPS and they have more than enough umph to cycle the action. I was wondering what velocity would simulate the recoil of hot 124 or 127 grain 9mm defense ammunition and what velocity might simulate some standard loadings.

If I could pop the 155 grainers at 900 FPS would that recoil about as much as a 124 standard load?
