was the pistol designed around the round or the round designed with tat pistol in mind
Actually it isn't. The 1006 is built of the same sized frame as the 4506, while the 4006 is built on the same frame as the 5906. You might have confused it with the compact version which was built on the same frame as the 4516, until the introduction of the Sc frame.The 4006 is just a 1006 rechambered for the new (.40 S&W) cartridge. Technically speaking the gun existed before the cartridge.

re you saying that a .40 S&W fired from a 4006 will have the same velocity as a 10mm fired from a 1006?
No, I'm saying that the 4006 throwing a 180gr bullet, will have about the same velocity as a FBI load 10mm 180gr bullet out of a 1076...Approx. 970-1000 fpsAre you saying that a .40 S&W fired from a 4006 will have the same velocity as a 10mm fired from a 1006?

The 4006 is just a 5906 retooled to shoot 40 S&W.

I think there was an issue with the full power loads recoiling too heavily for many of the officers using them.

We must consult the Book of Armaments!
That depends strictly on what you want. The 10mm can do everything the 40 can do and a lot more. Now days, with the exception of a very few companies, factory 10mm fodder is not all that hot. For us long term ammunition crafters, the 10mm is a hand loaders dream.Thanks for the answers, this part of shooting has always been voo doo to me and I've never understood it.
Now I have to ask if a 4006 and a 1076 are going to same velocity 9(= force?) with a 180 grain bullet why buy the 1076? Especially since .40 amuntition is cheaper?
The 10mm can do everything the 40 can do...
Yep, that's an important shortcoming to keep in mind.Except fit in a 9mm size platform.

Not quite. The 5906 did not exist in January of 1990 when the 4006 and the .40 S&W cartridge were introduced.
The 4006 was the first of the mid-frame "3rd Gen" S&W semi-autos.
