Overview of 40 Cal (S&W) Ammo

The .40 S&W cartridge was developed to provide more stopping power than the 9mm Parabellum and better handling than the .45 ACP. A team from Smith & Wesson and Winchester achieved these goals, creating a rimless, 10x22mm round with a .40-inch (10mm) bullet weighing between 105 and 200 grains (gr). This cartridge offers enough stopping power for home defense and concealed carry while being manageable for shooters of various sizes.

  • Steve said:

    Works good. No jams or misfires

  • Paperbanger said:

    Looking for some .40 cal you can feed your pistol with total confidence? Fill your magazines with the HST JHP from Federal! My Sig and I spent an afternoon punching holes with these, along with three other brands. We know there are some brands okay for range practice, because a misfeed or misfire doesn't matter much. But it was clear from the outset that if you carry, these are the guys you want to take with you. Never a misfeed or misfire, and accurate to a gnat's eyelash. I figure if it's my life and perhaps the lives of my loved ones on the line, I'll have enough to worry about without fighting the bad guys and my ammo problems at the same time.

  • Adam said:

    I fired these rounds using my mp 40. I will definitely use these again.

  • Steve said:

    Ammo seemed to work well . It was shipped on time and we are very happy with it. We will order again along with some .45acp when you have it available

  • Steve said:

    Great ammo for price. Was able to hold tight pattern. Will be purchasing more.

  • JCas said:

    Did not have any problems with Blazer Brass ammo. The ammo's quality is good. First time I have tried them and I am pleased I tried them. Would not hesitate to purchase again..

  • Bud said:

    Greta product! A little expensive per shell, but when shells can't be purchased locally, I suppose the additional is expected. Still can't find all caliber ammo, even at ammo.com.

  • Otis said:

    value, quality and performance was as well as expected for the costs.

  • Jody said:

    I would recommend this ammo to anyone having a .40 S & W pistol..I used in my new Taurus TU pistol
