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.

Can you shoot a 40 S and W round in a 10mm barrel?

No, you cannot safely shoot a .40 S&W round in a 10mm barrel. While the two cartridges have similar dimensions, they are designed for different pressures and have different case lengths. Using the wrong ammunition can lead to dangerous malfunctions, including the risk of injury or damage to the firearm. Always use the correct caliber ammunition specified by the manufacturer.


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.

The actual bullet is exactly the same. The 10mm has a longer case, therefore more powder and more energy.


Why does a bullet have letters and numbers on them?

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.


Is a 40 bigger than a 10mm?

Yes, a 40 is bigger than 10mm. In measurements, 40 units of any measurement system (like millimeters, inches, etc.) are greater than 10 units of the same system. If you're referring to caliber sizes, a .40 caliber is approximately 10.16mm, which is slightly larger than 10mm.

It's not safe to do. You won't get proper headspacing (the 10mm casing is significantly longer), and the end result could be disastrous.
