10MM and .40 use the same bullet.
I have carried a .40 on duty for many, many years. If it were up to me, I'd carry a 9MM.

Modern bullet technology has made almost all popular pistol calibers that same as far as effectiveness goes.

Too many people start nitpicking this is better than that. I don't want to get shot by ANYTHING whether it be a BB gun or a .22 or a .500S&W magnum or any rifle caliber. (I did see some pics from Brazil where someone was shot a few times with a .308 and LIVED. Even with a rifle, shot placement matters but to a far lesser degree).

Like the comedian Bill Burr says, if he shoots with a BB gun while you are breaking into his house, it will make you reconsider what you are doing.
