I'm in agreement with agtman.
To call a 10mm a small bore, or medium bore is, I don't know, maybe understating it a little bit.
While a .40 is the same diameter, I don't think it should really earn the distinction big bore, because of the lack of similarities between it and the "true" big bores, esp. magnums. (Not calling .45 acp, .45 colt and .44 spl "false" big bores, just they were designed before the magnums, so they kinda make up the rules as they went along...)
Whatever your personal beliefs on the subject, the FBI seems to think that .40s are big bores.
Whatever.
I'll just be in the minority and be happy that not everybody thinks like me...
