This video provides an expert-level comparison between the 10mm Auto and .40 Smith & Wesson cartridges, detailing their historical development, ballistic differences, and practical applications.

The analysis covers differences in case size, velocity (1250 fps for 10mm vs. 1000 fps for .40 S&W with 180gr loads), and energy (approx. 556 ft-lbs for 10mm vs. 400 ft-lbs for .40 S&W). It also touches on self-defense and hunting applications, ammunition availability, and recoil characteristics, with the presenter favoring the 10mm for its versatility and manageable recoil in specific platforms like the Colt 1911 Ronin.
