No. The length of the 10mm cartridge is necessary to achieve the proper headspace in a 10mm pistol. While a .40 cartridge would probably chamber, firing this round in a 10mm pistol is extremely dangerous, and can lead to damage to the weapon, as well as injury to the operator.

What isThe difference between glock 10mmand glock 45?
A glock 45 is a .45 caliber pistol, which fires a 45 caliber round. The glock 10mm fires 10mm rounds, which are .3945 caliber. Which is slightly smaller than the .40 caliber. Both of the two calibers, .45 and 10mm, are the 2 mosst expensive caliber weapons of glock. A 10mm is used mainly for law enforcement. You can fire rapidly with a Glock 10mm and be more accurate than you would with a Glock .45 caliber simply because the glock 10mm will have less recoil than the Glock .45 will. The Glock .45 will most likely do more damage though. Please Correct Me If I Am Wrong. Thanks, Bronson.

To indicate the caliber and manufacturer, or specific type of cartridge. For example: .22LR means 22 long rifle, which is different that a .22 short. .40 S&W means .40 Smith and Wesson, etc. which is different than a 10mm, even though a 10mm is .40 inches in diameter. .45 ACP stands for .45 Automatic Colt Pistol, which is different than .45 GAP, which stands for .45 Glock Auto Pistol.

Which is a bigger handgun a 40 caliber or a 45 caliber?
Either platform can be larger than the other. The 45 has the larger projectile. Caliber is defined as the diameter in fractions of an inch, so .40 caliber is smaller in diameter than .45 caliber. Caliber can also be defined in the metric system, measured in milimeters. The .40 caliber cartridge is equivalent to 10mm in diameter. As noted, the size of a handgun can vary widely within one caliber, so it is perfectly reasonable to have a smaller handgun crafted in a larger caliber.
