Can you shoot both, 10 mm and 40 S&W without changing barrels?
You cannot shoot 40 S&W from a 10mm semi-auto. I have 2 barrels for my Witness Hunter in 10mm for that purpose. One is a 40 and one is a 10mm. If the extractor has enough tension on the cartridge case it may fire but do not be stupid enough to do it.
You can Joel however, for safety and warranty purposes, I recommend only shooting with the correct caliber marked barrel. Just my 2 cents.
Joel, I have model 20 glock and 10mm Springfield. I shoot 40 S&W out of them both regularly at the range with no barrel change. Exact same bullet/round dimension/circumference Don't know about this firearm, but I shoot 40 S&W out of my 10 mm's often. No issues so far.
