I covered the hunting discipline already. Of course, your specification raises another question. What kind of animals is does he think he's going to encounter, and how many? If it's a pack of coyotes, yeah, a Glock 20 with 16 rounds of 10mm is probably nice if he needs to handle all of them. If it's one bear, he ought to bring something with more power, as 10mm may be on the high spectrum of service calibers, but pales in comparison to a lot of standard factory .44 Magnum loads, aka a revolver round. And the ability to stop something like a bear is not something to be piece mealed either. 6 rounds of .44 Mag are better than 16 rounds of 10mm, as the .44 Mag has more energy and higher penetration threshold per bullet.

Of course, what you should have asked in the first place is whether or not 10mm is as serviceable in this particular niche than higher calibers, not whether or not revolvers are better than semi-autos in any given application.
