If you shoot a .357 and .44 the recoil won't be hard to handle. I have a Glock G20 with a KKM 6" barrel and a Dan Wesson RZ 10 1911, i'm a little more accurate with the DW during rapid fire, but i think that is due to trigger and weight differences between the two rather than recoil, felt recoil is a little snappier than a .45 but that also depends on the ammo you use. I use DoubleTap ammo that's loaded to the full potential of this caliber, the factory ammo such as Hornady and Federal are more of an FBI light loading with similar ballistics to the .40SW. It's taken a lot of practise(and some adjustments to my grip) to get off accurate, rapid follow up shots using the hotter ammo from DoubleTap, and even after 500+ rounds of practise i'm still better with my .45's during rapid fire....and for those who keep saying the 10mm is dying ...
