Basic Information
The 10mm Auto (10x25mm, Official C.I.P. Nomenclature: 10 mm Auto) is a semi-automatic pistol cartridge developed by Jeff Cooper and introduced in 1983 for the Bren Ten pistol. It was initially produced by ammunitions manufacturer FFV Norma AB of Åmotfors, Sweden.
The F.B.I. briefly field-tested the 10mm Auto in a 1911-frame platform as well as a M1928 Thompson-type submachine gun before adopting the 10mm Auto round in the late 1980's along with the S&W Model 1076 (a short barreled version of the 1026 with a frame-mounted decocker). During testing of a new service caliber, the F.B.I. concluded that the full power of the load would result in undesirable recoil. This of course, for "smaller-handed" or "weaker" individuals.
Although it was selected by the F.B.I. for use in the field, their Firearms Training Unit "concluded that its recoil was excessive in terms of training for average agent/police officer competency of use and qualification," and the pistols that chambered it were too large for some small-handed individuals.[6] These issues led to the creation and eventual adoption of a shortened version of the 10mm that would evolve into what is today the .40 S&W.
Although respected for its performance and versatility, the 10mm never attained the mainstream success of its downgraded variant, the .40 Smith & Wesson. It is considered a niche cartridge, with a small but enthusiastic group of supporters who often refer to the .40 S&W as the ".40 Short & Weak".
The weapon itself is a slightly modified modern Thompson Sub-machine gun, with all steel construction and detachable telescopic stock.
