Most of the detractors seem decidedly misinformed or willfully ignorant which is a common condition on internet forums.
It's a big step up from 9mm/40/45. All you need to do is look at the energy levels in hot loads of the respective calibers. Energy increase on the order of 300+ ft lbs. It has more energy at 100 yards than .45 does at the muzzle.
Pressure is right with or below normal pressure, +P and +P+ of other calibers (except .45, which operates at a very low pressure in normal loadings, not sure about +P+ pressures). For example, the pressure of 9mm and 10mm are close to identical. Normal pressures of .40 and .357 Sig are both higher. 9mm +p+ higher. In other words, a high pressure gun destroying beast.
As far as recoil, it is best in a Glock 20 which is a very, very soft shooting weapon and certainly less snappy than the common Glock 22. It is much less snappy than a 9mm +P+, .45 +P+ or vanilla .40. If you can't shoot a Glock 20 without excessive muzzle flip, your technique needs work or you're too small for the gun.
As for being close to .41 magnum, obviously not. .41 Magnum outclasses 10mm. 10mm however is an automatic round. If the situation you needed your weapon for favored an automatic like woods defense or general carry, obviously the .41 magnum being more powerful is irrelevant. If you just want one well placed shot for handgun hunting, then obviously a .41 magnum would be a better choice. Stupid comparison on the pro 10mm side and stupid argument on the con side, too.
