About
The .10mm Auto Ammo is a powerful semi-automatic cartridge for pistols designed and introduced to the markets in 1983. Although being selected by the FBI in 1989, it was decommissioned because of the heavy recoil, which made the cartridge unsuitable for training average agents and police officers. Also, the chamber of the pistols for the .10mm Auto Ammo was too large for individuals with small hands. A former cartridge design was powered up, which resulted in a very powerful bullet that can retain a flat trajectory and high energy of a magnum cartridge for revolvers in a short, versatile rimless bullet for a semi-automatic pistol. The .10mm Auto Ammo produces a slightly higher energy level than the .357 Magnum Ammo at the maximum potential. The overall length of the .10mm Auto Ammo is 32mm, and the bullet diameter is 10.17mm. The 155-grain bullet variant of the .10mm Auto Ammo can travel at a velocity of 1,500 feet per second and creates an energy level of 775 ft.lbf.

About
The .450 SMC Ammo was launched in the late 2000s and was similar to the .45 Super. The main difference was that this cartridge used a small rifle primer which allowed more brass into the cartridge to provide it with more strength. Despite getting discontinued and fading away, the .450 SMC Ammo is now commercially available in the markets. The .450 SMC Ammo uses a small magnum primer rather than the primer of a standard pistol cartridge which provides plenty of ignition power. Small primer means more brass at the base of the bullet, meaning more strength to the case. The recoil in the lighter variants of the .450 SMC Ammo is pretty similar to the .45 ACP Ammo, but when it comes to heavier rounds, the .450 SMC Ammo provides far more controllable and manageable recoils. People have been praising the manufacturers who brought back the .450 SMC Ammo into the markets because of its performance and reliability to shooters for different purposes.
Manufacturer
The .450 SMC Ammo was originally produced by Triton in the late 2000s but was discontinued. Mike McNett, the founder of Doubletap Ammunition, saw potential in this cartridge and decided to bring it back and better than before.
Uses
The lighter rounds are being used widely for self-defense because they can be shot fast and accurately. The heavier rounds can take down medium-sized game and a few large species in decent range.
