If 44 mag is a 100%, 10mm is about 65%

I do not have both calibers in the same model but I do have an S&W 69 and a Sig 220 which are close to the same weight. The sig with the hottest ammo is soft shooting. The 69 kicks.
I think Always got it about right.

Remember, a 10mm is topped out with a 220 @1200fps, whereas a 44mag is usually a 240gr @1300fps and up. It even worse with a 44mag like the S&W329 which is much lighter than your typical 10mm.

I think Always got it about right. X2. It’s tough to compare given that they’re usually chambered in completely different platforms and are different calibers. A 10mm to a 41 Magnum is a more typical comparison but still usually completely different handgun types. A typical downloaded 10mm round in a pistol is snappy. A full house 44 Mag round in a revolver requires some actual muzzle control.

I’ve owned 2 44 mags in my life-think I shot about 10rounds total and have decided for me the 44 mag is a rounds made for a Marlin lever gun 🤣🤣😉

Think the 65% comparison is about right. About 30 years ago I owned a 629 Classic 5” for about a two months and 1 box of shells. It sucked to shoot. No fun at all. The backstrap gnawed into my hand like a starving, pissed off, rabid wolverine! I sold it for what I paid for it, saved that money and scoured the Gun List issues for a couple of months until I found a 610 Classic, which I still own to this day. Same exact platform for both calibers…an absolute world of difference in shooting experience! Also it has the bonus of shooting .40 S & W rounds out of it!

Shot my S&W model 29 44 mag with 300 gr cast loads & my Glock 10mm with 220 Gr Buffalo Bore loads have owned the S&W since early 80,s.
Shot them both fast same target distance, amazing how much faster and better accuracy with the Glock dont think I have fired the S&W since I bought the Glock.
I carry the 10mm I can go out the door with 45 rounds on last minute boat trips or hikes quickly without hunting down ammo for the S&W.

Shooting a 629 versus a 610 with full house hard cast in both I’d say the difference,at least perceived, difference is almost nothing, at least for me it doesn’t seem like that much difference. That’s my honest real world opinion.

Depends on the gun. My 329 kicks like a mule whereas my Grand 10 is no drama.
However for serious business no 10 equals a 320 hardcast at 1100 fps from a 44 mag.

I've owned three .44 Magnums, still have both 4 inch Smiths. One is a 25.5 oz. 329, and the other is a 43 oz. 29. I owned a 1006 smith for over 20 years. A bit heavier gun. I've shot a couple of 39 oz. 1911, 10 mm's. No comparison. The 1911's were sharper recoiling than those than those 1911's in .45 ACP. But, with hot 185 gr. loads, say 1150 fps. w/ a 185 gr. HP, the difference was pretty small. The 43 oz., all steel 29 is much heavier recoiling than the like weight 10's. On the order of 50-100% more. Alot depends on the gun's fit to one's hand. A couple of other things. The 10mm has no where near the sharp muzzle blast of the .44 magnums. I had a 43 oz. Smith 57 with a 4 inch barrel for a few years. 15% of the .44 Mags recoil is about right. Still more. The 10 mm is not "hot" loaded by most factory ammo companies for good reason. As a hand loader of some 64 years experience, I can tell you is goes critical with any small change in components. E

The revolver will have more recoil. My revolver shooting .40 180 has > recoil than G20 10mm. The .44 Magnum will obviously kick > 10mm revolver or pistol.

10 mm comes in a wide range of factory offerings. Most companies it's only loaded a little hotter than 40 s&w . Underwood, Buffalo bore and a few others load real 10mm . With that being said 10mm is a pussycat to a heavy 44 load. My current guns in 10 are a G29 and G20 neither are uncomfortable to shoot even with heavy 10mm . 44 loaded heavy ( 275-330 gr HC) will get your attention especially in a 4 -5 " revolver.

Stupid. 10mm makes a lot of sense as a woods or bear cartridge in a pistol which is usually what it’s popular for. Do you believe that a .45 ACP is comparable for that purpose?

There may be reasons not to buy a 10mm ,but recoil isn't one. I've let novice women shooters try my RIA 10mm hicap and they did fine.

No Mr."Stupid". S&W makes couple .460 Magnum revolvers with shorter barrels. This is preferable because one can shoot .454 and .45 Colt out of those guns. If cast lead loads are shot care should be taken to remove lead from cylinder/bore before shooting longer magnums in order to prevent cylinder damage. For sake of time more powerful handgun is needed when facing very large bear, or Mr. 🐻 will get you. What I mean is you will run out of time well before you run out of ammunition. 😱☠️👻The 10mm pistol not goot for this situation.
