The 10mm Auto was developed in 1983 by Norma for use in the Dornaus & Dixon Bren Ten pistol. The advertised muzzle velocity for a 200 grain bullet was 1200 fps. The original intent of the cartridge was for it to be a superior combat handgun round. The FBI also became interested in it. However, after some studies, they requested a slightly reduced load, due to a higher recoil of the 10mm. Ultimately this lead to the development of the 40 S&W cartridge. The 10mm is an excellent choice for self-defense, including in the Alaskan wilderness where its power can stand up to bigger threats such as bears and moose.
