I have a 28 Thompson and an MP40. I prefer the MP40 hands down. The Tommy is not really ergonomic and sits awkwardly when brought up for sight aiming. It is heavy and the ammo is now expensive. I agree that the MP40 is very accurate. My group has informal shoots where we toss dayglo clay pigeons on the berm at 100 yards. The object is to hit at least 25 out of thirty with a 30round load in your subgun. I regularly win by single shooting the MP40 through trigger control. After much practice it is easy to hit each target with a single shot.

I thought that was the point of a Thompson, you didn't have to aim.......
