Ed Sanow also felt recoil was equivalent to 230 gr (15 g) hardball in .45 ACP. [6] In addition, the bottleneck case can function better than a straight case with a wider variety of bullet shapes and sizes and allows the use of fully supported barrels. [3] Ballistics fall somewhere between the .40 S&W and the 10 mm Auto. [7]
The 10mm Auto (also known as the 10×25mm, official C.I.P. nomenclature: 10 mm Auto, [7] official SAAMI nomenclature: 10mm Automatic) [8] is a powerful and versatile semi-automatic pistol cartridge introduced in 1983. Its design was adopted and later produced by ammunition manufacturer FFV Norma AB of Åmotfors, Sweden. [12]
The .40 S&W (10.2×22mm) is a rimless pistol cartridge developed jointly by American firearms manufacturers Smith & Wesson and Winchester in 1990. [3] The .40 S&W was developed as a law enforcement cartridge designed to duplicate performance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) reduced-velocity 10mm Auto cartridge which could be retrofitted into medium-frame (9 mm size) semi ...
The 10mm Auto is a rimless automatic pistol cartridge, so moon clips are used to hold cartridges when loading and extracting spent cases en bloc. The Model 610 can also chamber and fire .40 S&W rounds, as the .40 S&W cartridge is a shorter, less powerful variant of the 10mm Auto with the same diameter. [2]
The biggest difference between the Tanfoglio Combat/Standard and the CZ-75 is chamberings; while the CZ-75 is available in 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, and .22 Long Rifle (in its Kadet model), the Combat/Standard can interchange calibers between 9×19mm Parabellum, 9×21mm, .38 Super Auto, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP and .22 Long Rifle.
The .40 Super drives a 135 grain bullet to 1,800 feet per second while generating less chamber pressure than the 9x23mm Winchester. With a 200-grain bullet, the .40 Super delivers more foot-pounds of energy at 100 yards than the .45 ACP does at the muzzle. The original plan was to market the .40 Super as the .40 SIG, the big brother to the .357 ...
The .40 will have less recoil because velocity is significantly lower. In fact the Wikipedia article on Recoil gives a direct comparison between the 9mm parabellum, the .357 SIG and the .40 S&W. Recoil with the .357 SIG was roughly twice that with the 9mm, and roughly 50% more than the .40 S&W. The article also explains that since acceleration ...
In the classic division a choice can be made between up to a 10-shot capacity 1911 with minor scoring (e.g. 9×19mm) or up to an eight-shot capacity 1911 with major scoring (e.g. .40 S&W or .45 ACP). In the revolver division major scoring can be achieved with a 9 mm bullet diameter, but with a power factor of 170.
