'''.40 S&W''' 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 loads". 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. 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).

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]].
+
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 caliber. It is even used, in certain cases, in submachine guns; notably the famous .40 version of the '''H&K MP5''', the '''MP5/40'''.

.40 S&W 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 loads". 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. 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 caliber. It is even used, in certain cases, in submachine guns; notably the famous .40 version of the H&K MP5, the MP5/40.
