[QUOTE="Hawgman, post: 753413, member: 7676"] The salesman that told you that, truely, needs to be fired. Whatever caliibre is marked on the gun is the only ammo you feed it. My .357 says ".357 mag/.38 spec". You WILL NOT see a dual cartridge marking on ANY 10mm semi-auto. You WILL NOT see "9mm/.380" marked on ANY 9mm semi-auto. Semi-auto handguns headspace on the mouth of the cartridge brass. 40S&W brass is shorter than 10mm so at the very least the cartridge wiil try to go deeper into the chamber than it's suppose to. Your bullet will also have to jump a short distance before it hits the ledge in the chamber the mouth is suppose to be resting on. You may also run into problems with the extractor engaging the rim properly because the cartrigde is allowed to sink into the chamber farther. I wont even start with feeding problems. Hopefully, you can see the salesman was irresponsible at the very least and you should never accept gun info from him again. [/QUOTE]
