Yes sir. Cute from a ballistic standpoint as an almost identical twin to your beloved.41 mag. While I will be the first to admit that I am not as knowledgeable as many on this forum as to terminal ballistics and have thankfully never had to dispatch a bi-ped with a handgun. I have killed a number of quadrupeds. I think a real sweet spot is achieved with a 180 grain, well constructed bullet at 1200-1300 fps on thin skin animals of the 150-250 lb class. YMMV.

I guess in the same sense 9mm is an almost an identical twin to 357mag...

Do they shoot the same weight, diameter, bullet at very similar velocities?

I’d like to note up front, I own neither a 41Magnum or 10mm, so I’m just making conversation, not trying to stir up anything.

They definitely overlap (much like 9mm and 357) but when loaded to their full potentials, they’re quite a bit apart (also much like 9mm and 357). 41Mag shows a full 52% more energy here:
