I've known a couple guys that do it, and it's been talked about regularly on the enterweebz.I can't speak for all 10mm pistols, but I've fired a bunch of 40 S&W rounds through my Glocks. I had a friend sell his 40 caliber pistol and he gave me several hundred rounds. There is a little less recoil, but my pistols (G20 and G29) have run perfectly with good accuracy and no change in POI.
It isn't something I'd do on a regular basis mainly because anymore 10mm ammo is easy to find and priced the same as 40. But I've done it enough to trust it to work in an emergency, at least in my guns. And while I'd not buy 40's if 10mm is available, I'm going to shoot up the free ammo I have.
Shoot through a gun what it says on the side of the gun and you never have to worry.
So I can't shoot 38 Special in my 586? Damn, that sucks.

If the extractor can capture the cartridge by the case head groove, it works. Something has to keep the shorter case held against the bolt face so the firing pin can hit the primer. It's hard on extractors, but I wouldn't do it even for the heck of it.Depending on what gun you use 40 in a 10 will shoot. 380 will shoot in a 9. Glocks will do this I've seen people do it. Is it correct, no. Is it safe, I dont like it and won't do it, and is not in the design criteria. People do dumb things, even on purpose, not I.
I went to a “walk up” shooting where some gangster mope fired at a house with .45 ACP and .45 GAP rounds through the same Glock then split after about six-seven shots when the gun misfired.If the extractor can capture the cartridge by the case head groove, it works.

Instead of just sharing a pic, maybe you can also share what it is and why you say that.
Nice pic though...
I haven't done it myself. I think the stock answer is always- "shoot only what it's chambered in".Hello... I've seen people say you can shoot .40 S&W ammo through a 10mm gun, but not 10mm through a .40 S&W gun, right? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
I doubt that a 10 mm will fit in most 40SW magazines or chambers.Hello... I've seen people say you can shoot .40 S&W ammo through a 10mm gun, but not 10mm through a .40 S&W gun, right? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
??????No, you can't shoot 10mm out of a gun chambered for 10mm.
Whoops??????
