My reply was all in good fun. I’m sincerely not trying to ruffle anyones feathers.I do not own either 10mm or 41 mag. Would love to get both.
My XDm shoots .40 fineA 10mm revolver can shoot 40S&W in a similar fashion to 38 Special in a 357 Magnum. The 10mm revolver always comes factory ready for moonclips and we all know moonclips rule. If you have your 10mm Auto revolver reamed to 10mm Magnum you now have a three cartridge revolver with no hardware changes. Mix and match on a single moonclip if so inclined
Many of the 10mm Auto semi-autos can be converted to 40S&W or 357 Sig with a barrel change. Its also not unheard of to shoot 40S&W from an un modified 10mm Auto especially with Glocks but I suspect most of the 10mm M&P and XD could handle it too.
Ah heck, maybe the feathers you ruffle needed some fluffing to make sure they still worked! LOL!My reply was all in good fun. I’m sincerely not trying to ruffle anyones feathers.I do not own either 10mm or 41 mag. Would love to get both.
Like many members I don't have a 10mm but would like to get one! In some areas like capacity the 10mm had an advantage over the 357. The larger diameter is also a plus.
I'm glad that it is making a come back and that gun manufacturers are making new models chambered for the 10.
Hypothetically speaking for this one center fire cartridge scenario I would probably be happier with 40 S&W chambered guns one small like my Walther PPS and the other a STI 2011 with that you could load the 40 over SAAMI length and mimic 10mm loads at least with the heavier bullets.I have a lot of factory .40 S&W, and even the premium stuff shoots soft from the XDm 10MM I have. My Glock 20 used to shoot it fine too. I've not shot thousands of rounds, but several hundred through the XDm and totally reliable. Plus, I have several thousand cleaned and deprimed cases ready to load!
am pushing 200gr XTP from my 610 at 1250 fps and I am not using the max charge I have seen for the powder I am using...
Nah, 41 Mag is a much more powerful cartridge, and there are even LESS options in guns than 10 mm.Seems like the 41 magnum and the 10mm would be a closer comparison than the 357 magnum vs the 10mm?
How would this be done? In an auto, they headspace on the case mouth, so the 40 S&W would sink into the chamber and if it did work, it would be loose in the chamber. Doesn't seem feasible or smart.Many of the 10mm Auto semi-autos can be converted to 40S&W or 357 Sig with a barrel change.

Well, that's if penetration is a concern. Unless hunting big game at longer distances, I wouldn't think it would ever be a concern with either of these two cartridges..41 Magnum easily wins over 10mm, and of course .357 Magnum, but .357M is also a bit better than 10mm, although they are close. It comes down to sectional density of the bullets, which translate to better penetration when bullet weight and velocity are similar.
Again, how? Doesn't the cartridge sink down into the chamber too far?My XDm shoots .40 fine
Well, you got me on the wording. I would allow 38 Spl from a 357 or 40 S&W from a 10 mm w/ barrel swap. (in an automatic).Well .. I picked the 10mm
Only ONE centerfire handgun cartridge…
So no 38spl if I chose the 357

Most modern semi-auto handguns are controlled round feed, ie as the case head slides up the breach face the rim slides under the extractor as it rises up out of the magazine. So as long as this works reliably the shorter 40S&W round then headspaces on the extractor rather than the case mouth. This has proven to be remarkable reliable for most that have tried it.

Though I said I prefer .357 and revolvers I seriously considered a Glock 20 for protection when hunting in Oregon. Having a sidearm loaded with 15 rounds vs 6 or 8 of a comparable cartridge would be a comfort should things get hairy quick.
Even though I am pretty sure shooting 10mm from a Glock will bother my wrists due to slide movement I cannot get the G40 out of my head. I actually wasn’t aware of the G40 until a short while ago. I may try to rent one, or a G20, just to make sure I can or cannot shoot one comfortably…once my local range gets some 10mm ammo.
Nice!View attachment 1103356
This XDM Elite 10mm compact was one of those handguns.. that I admittedly went out and purchased.. without doing any research… and I must add .. I was and am not disappointed
