 | | The 10mm was a cartridge that evolved from several wildcats, including the 40 G&A and "The Centimeter". |
 | | However, this was a great thing for the 10mm cartridge, because, for the first time, other than the Bren Ten, there was a gun designed specifically for the 10mm, and not a 45ACP gun re-engineered into a 10mm. |
 | | In addition, since the 10mm bore is smaller, but the outside diameter of the barrel is the same, the 10mm barrel is heavier than the 45 ACP barrel, making the 10mm barrel heavier. |
