'''.40 S&W''' (also referred to as '''10x22mm''') is a pistol cartridge developed in 1990 by firearms manufacturers Smith & Wesson and Winchester. It is a shortened version of [[10mm Auto]], developed from the so-called 10mm Auto "FBI Lite loads" ; reduced loads to dampen the severe recoil of a full-power 10mm. That load was then adapted to a shorter case. Much like how [[.357 Magnum]] is dimensionally the same as [[.38 Special]] except for case length, .40 S&W is dimensionally the same as [[10mm Auto]], but with a shorter case. To better visualize their relationship, one can imagine that .40 S&W is the "10mm Auto Special", or that 10mm Auto is the ".40 S&W Magnum".

The '''.40 S&W''' is a handgun cartridge developed in 1990 by firearms manufacturer '''Smith & Wesson'''. It is a fairly common handgun cartridge, typically seen as a compromise between [[9x19mm Parabellum|9x19mm]] and [[.45 ACP]].
+
While it is considered a viable alternative to [[9x19mm Parabellum]] and [[.45 ACP]], many are divided on whether it offers the best of both worlds (citing high capacity and stopping power), or the worst of both worlds (citing relatively high recoil and only marginal performance gains over 9x19mm and .45 ACP). Regardless of one's position on .40 S&W, it is a street-proven cartridge with numerous law enforcement agencies having adopted firearms chambered for this cartridge. It even found use in submachine guns; notably the famous .40 version of the '''H&K MP5''', the '''MP5/40'''.
-
 
+
-
=== Real-life data ===
+
-
The birth of '''.40 S&W''' is closely related to that of [[10mm Auto]], as it is essentially a shorter version of the 10mm Auto cartridge.
+
-
 
+
-
The FBI originally adopted 10mm Auto as the caliber for their service pistols, but after reports that most agents had trouble controlling the beastly recoil generated by the original cartridge, it was decided that lighter loads, nicknamed "FBI lite", were to be used in their firearms; this resulted in decreased velocity and energy, but more controllable recoil.
+
-
Smith & Wesson later realized that the ballistics of this FBI load could be achieved with a smaller cartridge, which went on to become the '''.40 S&W'''.
+
-
 
+
-
The caliber is, due to its history as the descendant of 10mm Auto, developed to be law enforcement oriented from the ground up. However, because of those same origins as a shortened (and weaker) version of an originally reportedly powerful cartridge, .40 S&W earned the unflattering nickname of '''.40 Short and Weak'''.
+
-
 
+
-
It, however, became relatively successful with law enforcement agencies in the United States other than the FBI, as well as in Canada and Australia. As a result, civilian demand for .40 S&W pistols quickly rose - although it was indeed less powerful than 10mm Auto, it also meant more manageable recoil and thus was suitable to a greater amount of shooters. The [[Smith ＆ Wesson 4006]] was announced as the first semi-automatic pistol designed to fire .40 S&W, but wasn't made available until several weeks after the official introduction of the caliber itself. In the meantime, Glock beat S&W to it, and was the first to release their .40 pistol, the [[Glock 22]] and its compact variant, the Glock 23.
+
-
 
+
-
As the .40 S&W cartridge is shorter and has mild recoil compared to the original 10mm Auto, it was easier to adapt existing platforms to the cartridge and it was only a matter of time to introduce them on the market. Pistols originally intended for 9x19mm were simply adapted to the new caliber; soon followed many of the major firearm manufacturers on the market.
+
-
Today, .40 S&W enjoys relative popularity and is considered to be a good compromise between 9x19mm and .45 ACP, typically in the domains of stopping power and ammunition capacity.

.40 S&W is precisely as it is commonly described to be: a good compromise between [[9x19mm Parabellum]] and [[.45 ACP]]. Typically, most firearms in .40 S&W will have, in average, a capacity similar, or approaching that of 9x19mm, while having enough power to place itself between the two.

.40 S&W (also referred to as 10x22mm) is a pistol cartridge developed in 1990 by firearms manufacturers Smith & Wesson and Winchester. It is a shortened version of 10mm Auto, developed from the so-called 10mm Auto "FBI Lite loads" ; reduced loads to dampen the severe recoil of a full-power 10mm. That load was then adapted to a shorter case. Much like how .357 Magnum is dimensionally the same as .38 Special except for case length, .40 S&W is dimensionally the same as 10mm Auto, but with a shorter case. To better visualize their relationship, one can imagine that .40 S&W is the "10mm Auto Special", or that 10mm Auto is the ".40 S&W Magnum".

While it is considered a viable alternative to 9x19mm Parabellum and .45 ACP, many are divided on whether it offers the best of both worlds (citing high capacity and stopping power), or the worst of both worlds (citing relatively high recoil and only marginal performance gains over 9x19mm and .45 ACP). Regardless of one's position on .40 S&W, it is a street-proven cartridge with numerous law enforcement agencies having adopted firearms chambered for this cartridge. It even found use in submachine guns; notably the famous .40 version of the H&K MP5, the MP5/40.
