[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2842310, member: 15527"] The .40 S&W is a shortened version of the 10mm... The FBI tried working with the 10mm years ago, but most women officers, and a lot of men, could not comfortably qualify with the 10mm because of the recoil and muzzle blast. So they shortened the 10mm and created the .40 S&W... It's kinda like comparing a 38 special to the 357 magnum, in a that it uses the same bullets, just different case lengths... I shoot a Colt Delta Elite in 10mm, as well as a Glock 20 in 10mm, and they are both excellent weapons... [/QUOTE]
