The 10 mm Auto caliber is a high performance pistol caliber with metric dimensions of 10 x 25 mm. Other names for the caliber are 10 mm, 10 mm Norma, 10 mm FBI and The Centimeter.
The caliber was originally the standard caliber of the FBI, but was replaced by the derived caliber.40 S & W and the caliber 9 x 19 because they are easier to shoot due to the lower recoil.
In terms of accuracy, stopping power and stretching of the trajectory, however, the 10 mm Auto caliber is superior to the other two.
In Germany, the cartridge is mainly used for hunting and sport shooting. It does not play a significant role in authorities and armed forces.
The main technical characteristics of the cartridge are:
- velocity V0. 310-480 m/s
- maximum gas pressure: 2300 bar
- bullet energy E0: 560-1050 joules
