.40 Smith & Wesson is a 10x22mm cartridge, whereas the .45 ACP would measure 11.65x23 in metric measurements. The .45 is a larger round, and also a much slower round.

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 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.
