9mm = NO
.40 is just an under powered 10mm

.45 is a bit slower but larger diameter
10mm has some blazing fast rounds. 2400 ft/s for the light stuff AND you can also get dumb'd down 10mm ammo that is in the 9mm range.

I REALLY like the versatility in my 10mm.

2400 fps is stretching it just a wee bit, for any bullets within the normal weight range (135-230gr). Did you mean 1400 fps? 1600-1800 is possible with the lightweight 135-155gr bullets. I'm pushing a 165gr cast at 1650+ fps from mine, but that's a longslide with max loads.

Agreed on the versatility though.

Its a light round made by rbcd, (10mm 77 gr.  2420 fps / 1015 flbs), nothing I would use in bear country but a coyote or cougar... hell yea!

I prefer the 155gr bonded hp from Underwood for daily carry (155gr. 1500 fps / 775 flbs) but in the field I typically carry FMJ for increased penetration and bone breaking ability.

Interesting. Have you actually shot that 77gr round over a chronograph? A lot of companies exaggerate their velocity claims pretty badly.  I'm sure it's fast, but I'm still pretty skeptical of that velocity from normal length pistol barrels. From a longer 6"+ barrel, it's probably achievable, but right on the edge of max loads.

The Underwood stuff usually does meet it's claimed velocity, although some of their 10mm loads are a bit too hot IMO.

Not sure I'd want to be using 77grs for grizzly bear defense.

Maybe a 500gr 45/70 tho!

The 9x25 dillion only hits 2100 fps with 90gr - in a longslide G20

I shoot underwood product and been happy with the results, also have a 24# spring for that hot stuff
