- The .40 S&W is a rimless centerfire pistol cartridge that was developed in the early 1990s by firearm manufacturer Smith & Wesson. It is considered to be a powerful round, capable of stopping targets with a single shot, and it is commonly used for self-defense, law enforcement, and even hunting applications.
The .40 S&W has very low recoil which makes it easy to handle and control, even for inexperienced shooters. Its high muzzle velocity also allows it to penetrate barriers with ease and deliver consistent accuracy over long distances.
