10mm 200gr. Hornady HP XTP -1050 fps

It doesn't compare to any of the calibers you listed. It is a bigger, slower version of .45 is all. 10mm has it beat by quite a bit even.

Only use it has is a big cool factor

I'd go with a 10mm for pretty much anything in North America as a sidearm. Especially in a Glock 20, 15+1 rounds can be comforting if you stumble upon the wrong beast, 2 or 4 legged.
