My perception is that there’s less rise than with a typical .45 ACP load in the same platform. My go-to round are Winchester Silver Tips, which admittedly, are by no means the hottest 10mm factory round out there, but they are what my weapon, by far and away, groups tightest. I have shot hotter loads, and to me, while the recoil is not “heavier” than a typical .45 ACP load, it’s snappier and quicker, and I can get the sights back on target I think, quicker than with a .45, (even with hotter loads) but wouldn’t count on doing so without the arched mainspring housing.
I love the old slab sides, I would love to have one in 10mm but they are out of my budget.
I have a series 70 and commander, with factory ammo, they seem to rise a lot more that the G20 even with the hot hunting ammo. I was curious how they did with 10mm. Thanks for responding.
