The '''.400 Cor-Bon''' is an automatic pistol cartridge developed by [[Cor-Bon]] in 1997. It was created to match the ballistic performance of the [[10mm Auto]] cartridge in a [[.45 ACP]] form factor. It is essentially a .45 ACP case, necked down to .40 caliber with a 25-degree shoulder.

 [[Peter Pi]], founder of [[Cor-Bon]] and the designer of the .400 Corbon cartridge, explained his reason for developing the cartridge: "Velocity is the key to making hollowpoint bullets work. The added velocity assures that the hollowpoint will open up even if plugged with material. This reduces the risk of overpenetration and allows the action of the hollowpoint bullet to dump the available energy into the target."
-Pi said that because he wanted the .400 Corbon to be easy for [[handloaders|Handloading]] to make, he based the cartridge on the highly popular [[.45 ACP]] so that ample supply of cases was readily available. He gave the shoulder a 25-degree angle, and head-spaced it on the case shoulder rather than the mouth so that overall length is not critical and the bullet can utilize a roll crimp to avoid setback and to burn powder more efficiently.
