I sell firearms and ammo for a living, just wanted to give my 2 cents on this. Most of us agree that “stopping power” is a hard to define subject. However, muzzle energy is quantifiable, and 10mm has a significant increase of muzzle energy over .45ACP (on average). The 45 ACP loads I’ve seen (and I do have a 1911), are 350-500ft lbs. The 10mm loads I’ve seen are about 450-700ft lbs. The top end of the 45 ACP is the low end of the 10mm spectrum. Therefore, based on my experience and research, 10mm is king of production semi-auto cartridges when it comes to firepower. Check out the website “ballistics by the inch” website. It’ll show some great data on the effects of barrel length on the velocity/muzzle energy of various cartridges.

That’d be a “blast” except for parts.
