Here is the 40S&W HST outperforming the 10mm Gold Dot load:

More loads and better factory loads for defense in 40S&W as you can see in the 10mm testing:

Velocity doesn't matter in the sense that even if you were to get the mythical 1500FPS or even the 1300FPS, that isn't a rifle round. It's still doing the work of a handgun.

Luckygunner: "are barely distinguishable from a typical .40 S&W load while others are closer to the original “hot” 10mm loads offered in the early days of the caliber’s history. This is an important reminder that every bullet performs optimally within a specific velocity window that varies depending on its design. Faster is not always better."
