Re: 40 S&W
Got into my ammo box and pulled out three cartridges, 10 MM hollow point (on left), 40 SW hollow point, 9 MM ball. The 10 MM is much hotter than the 40.
The Glock is the only handgun that seems to be able to take the extreme stress the 10 MM generates. I have a compact and a full size version. The compact is below:
The Glock compact is around the same diamensions of my CZ 83 in 380 ACP:

Re: 40 S&W
nice guns you have got there the recoil of the 10MM must be pretty stiff in that compact glock

Not to be contradictory, but there are other pistols besides the Glock that do quite well at sustaining the recoil of the 10mm: http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.a ... =117416292

Bhavjeet - The SW is a good pistol also. Have owned them though not in 10mm.
Lazybones - the 10 has a sharp, short recoil, unlike a 45's push but much quicker in terms of backwards acceleration and muzzle flip. With practice it is fairly easy to control.

You are right. The only calibers that is legal in India and easily available abroad are pistols chambered in .357 SIG, .380 ACP and .40S&W. In fact I would be bringing in my .40 in future.amk";p="52755 wrote:.40 S&W is a milder loading of the 10mm. When S&W realised that the FBI load in the 10mm could be loaded in a smaller cart they came up with the .40 S&W. I think it would be almost impossible to find it in India.
If I were allowed one particular caliber/Gun here I'd probably go for the .357 SIG over the .40 S&W.

Be warned .40 S&W ammo is not available in India, nor is it on the list of ammo allowed for import by dealers... so future availability of ammo looks bleak as well.primerwalla";p="60607 wrote: You are right.

I hope it is OK to post this. I got this from somewhere. This guy is an importer for Federal Ammunition. Is there a list for ammo that could be imported?mundaire";p="60612 wrote:Be warned .40 S&W ammo is not available in India, nor is it on the list of ammo allowed for import by dealers... so future availability of ammo looks bleak as well.primerwalla";p="60607 wrote: You are right.
