About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed as a joint venture between Winchester and Smith & Wesson. It was an effort to to create a cartridge with the same power as the 10mm Norma round that the FBI had just started using, but in a shorter case. The shorter cartridge would facilitate accuracy and allow use of a smaller, more comfortable grip frame. The .40 S&W has become the cartridge of choice for many law enforcement agencies in the United States.

Heavy but packs a punch
By Armyvet on 27 Dec 2020
Owned my FN- 40 for eight years. It is a big serious firearm when out in the boonies. With 15 rounds of hollow point .40 cal, it can get heavy for everyday carry. I have high vis sights on it , but still need to practice a lot . High quality ammo helps accuracy... I wouldn't want to be shot by it !!
