It was first used by FBI and Police, but was later decommitioned, because it was concluded that this bullet has excess recoil to be used by Police officer in active combat, also the guns created for this bullet were too large for certain short handed users.
To counter this .40 S&W was made, which became rapidly popular because of its size and ballistic capablity. The 10mm auto never got the popularity of its shorter version .40 S&W.
How ever some gun enthusiasts still perfer the 10mm auto.
Performance:
A full performance 10mm auto bullet produces slightly more energy then .357 magnum. The bullet is considered to be high velocity with very less curved flight path.
At its lighter loadings the duplicate the performance of .40 S&W but its more power full loadings can equal or exceed the performance of .357 Magnum.
The 10mm auto is marketed for hunting, and tactical self defence use. The bullet is used as high power calibre defence against humans and animals.
And its perfered by those who want a higher capacity power full semi-auto gun instead of a magnum revolver.
