Sheesh! Just trying to have some fun with nicknames and such.
I am under no impression that whatever we come up with here as a nickname, even of a bunch of folks DID agree on one, is ever going to be stamped on the side of a box of factory ammo anywhere.
Not a serious thread here, but being taken a bit serious by a few. Tossing around a nickname for a cartridge is the kind of conversation starting idea one might throw out at a real hunters or pistolero's night time campfire.

What do you use your 10MM for?

Yesterday I tried to post from my iPhone well traveling. I seems that with the ipad or iPhone when I want to start typing, the key pad disappears on the touch screens. It can be a p i a. And with my key pad disappearing and rode bumps I touched submit by accident, so I thought F it.
But anyway I recall in some 90's magazine, I believe American Handgunner they referred to the 40 as the 40 Short and Wimpy.
I myself like it.

Nothing wrong with the 40 short & weak....other than the fact that it was never really needed.

What did, or does, need have to do with it? I think the sales numbers would speak for themselves regarding the 40's validity and utility. I've found that proper handloads put the 40 into respectable performance. It is a fine cartridge, and the only thing I can see that people have to bitch about is that it isn't a bit faster, or maybe a bit fatter. I'd love to get 10mm numbers, but top end 40 loads, such as a 180 cast flat nose at 1200, are the limit of the snap I want from the platform. And really, no more is needed.

We had the 45 ACp 185 gr at 1000 fps. So why the 40?

For bipedal self-defense, I don't see advantage of 10MM vis-a-vis .40 S&W. In fact, I'd take a hi-capacity .40 S&W over a 10MM every time if we're talking bipedal self-defense. As a trail gun, I'd rather have a 10MM.

The .40 S&W doesn't not have to fly at 10MM speeds for it to be effective for self-defense. A 180 grain bullet at about 1000 FPS and you're good to go.

There is a marginal advantage as a hunting round when heavier bullets are used. The 10mm handles the 200 grainers better. A good 200gr hard cast Makes a great hog stopper. Very good penetrator through all that mud, gristle and boney shoulder.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

Everything I shoot with my .40 seems to die pretty fast.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
