Can you shoot 40 caliber ammunition out of a 10mm pistol?
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.
Is a 10mm gun more powerful then a 45 caliber?
yes
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.
Which is bigger 10mm or 40 caliber?
The actual bullet is exactly the same. The 10mm has a longer case, therefore more powder and more energy.
Can you fire a 40 caliber shell in a 10mm handgun?
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.
What is better 9 mm or 40 caliber guns?
A .40 caibler Smith & Wesson cartridge is also called a 10mm. So it has a larger diameter bullet and more casing to hold more powder. Therefore it is a more powerful bullt than a 9mm Lugar Parabellum cartridge. The .40 S&W is 10mm in diameter, however, it is not normally referred to as 10mm, at least not in the U.S. The cartridge officially named 10mm was a different cartridge and cannot be fired from a .40 caliber handgun because it's too long to fit into the magazine or to feed into the barrel. The .40's case is 22 mm long and the 10mm is 25mm long. And whether a .40 caliber is more powerful than a 9mm is conjecture; it depends on whose statistics you choose to believe. In both calibers, as well as most any caliber, different cartridges have different specifications; different types of powder, different amounts of powder, lighter or heavier bullets, etc, all which can affect performance of the projectile, so to say that .40 is more power than 9mm is only correct when comparing some loads, but generally, .40 is considered more powerful that 9mm.
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.
What caliber of bullets does the Glock 30 fire?
A Glock 30 is a very dangerous weapon and should only be used by those trained to operate one. That being said, the Glock 30 fires 10mm caliber bullets.
What is the case length of 10 millimeter ammunition?

How good is the 10mm caliber handgun?
It's a decent enough calibre, although many have found it to be a bit too hot of a cartridge, which is why the .40 S&W was created.
How many hand guns are bigger than the 40 MM hand gun?

What is a gun measured in?
Bullets are primarily measured by the diameter (caliber) and their weight. Calibers can be expressed in hundredths or thousandths of an inch or in millimeters -- typical small arms calibers range between .17 to .50 inch caliber or about 4.4 to 12.7 mm caliber. Weight is expressed in grains or grams. There are 7000 grains to a pound. bullet weights for small arms can range from as low as 20 grains to over 800 grains.
