I get annoyed at the 'short&weak' moniker. The 40 is neither. It hits like a hammer. It is every bit as much the game taker as the 10, with the proper loads. The comparison with the Special vs. Magnum cartridges was far from apt. It seems that you have shot nothing but your 10, and think it is hot [bleep]. It is, but it isn't so much hotter than a 40 to make a comparison with Spec/Mag. Both 10 and 40 are great cartridges, and one is 10% faster. Just like a 357 is 10% faster than a 38....
