People jokingly refer to the 40 S&W as the 40 short and wimpy, but in reality the 40 ain't no joke. It'll shoot the same 180 grain bullet as the 10mm at around 1000 -1150 fps which is pretty impressive IMO. The 10mm only has 100-150 fps on the 40 S&W. I don't own a handgun in either caliber but I wouldn't feel under gunned with with either.
