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 ...
Ballistics fall somewhere between the .40 S&W and the 10 mm Auto. [7] Unlike the 10 mm which operates at a SAAMI maximum of 37,500 psi , the .400 Corbon operates at 29,000 psi (although one source states that the pressure is 26,500 psi), [ 8 ] [ 9 ] much closer to the SAAMI maximum pressures for .45 ACP (21,000 psi), and .45 ACP +P (23,000 psi ...
This became known as the "10mm Lite", or "10mm FBI" load, or attenuated 10mm, remaining common from various manufacturers today. With some pistol reliability problems increasing in this lighter load, [ 18 ] Smith & Wesson observed that a version of the 10mm case reduced to 22 millimeters in length from the original 25 mm could be made with the ...
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 ...
This demand for a shortened 10mm Auto round, the 40 S&W, removed a lot of demand and attention from the 10mm Auto. [6] The pistol was dropped from production in 1996 due to lackluster sales and the availability of similar powered pistols in smaller framed pistols chambered in .40 S&W.

The biggest difference between the Tanfoglio Force / EAA Witness and the CZ-75 is chambering options; while the CZ-75 is available in 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, and .22 Long Rifle (in its Kadet model), the Force is unique in its ability to interchange calibers rapidly between 9×19mm Parabellum, 9×21mm, .38 Super Auto, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto ...
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.
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.
