First, good luck getting anyone at SIG to admit they used a .40 S&W as the basis of THEIR cartridge. Especially since they were in development around the same time. They’ll say it was an effort to make an equivalent to the .357Mangleum available in a semi-auto pistol the size of a 9mm, and they used a 10mm because it fit their external and internal size requirements, although they likely had to thin the web of the case to expand the case capacity and add a bit more boiler room.

Second, if you want a wildcat cartridge, go ahead. But if you want something close to those requirements in a relatively available caliber, either stick with the 7.62x25, or maybe try the .22TCM. True - it’s a lighter, smaller bullet, but it was making divots in my steel target when 5.56, x39 and even x51 were not.

Sorry about that....
