It's not something you want to shoot in a carry gun because with heavy loads it's uncontrollable (why the FBI gave up on it and the 40 S&W was developed) but in heavy handguns it's very comfortable to shoot. I hunt with a Tanfoglio Witness Hunter in 10mm and it's not a problem to shoot well with heavy loads.
Shaun, this will depend entirely on the level of power the ammunition has. It can range from 9mm +P+ to Heavy 357Magnum Hunting loads. I can tell you it is stout but controllable. i can shoot it as quickly and as accurately as a 9mm. With practice it is no different than any other caliber.

a lot will depend on the load and on the Gun many 10mm loads are just slightly hot 40 S&W loads some are full power loads my 1911 is heavy and tames the recoil well the RIA doublestack 1911 10mm is super heavy and its like shooting 9mm
