Was just reading up on this round. It looks like a chopped down version of the .30 carbine round.xerts1911 wrote: ↑January 11th, 2022, 5:18 pm https://www.federalpremium.com/30superc ... ForDefense

It doesn’t even approach the performance of a 7.62X25 much less duplicate it. The average MV of a 7.62X25 is almost 1600 fps with an 86 grain bullet and almost 500 FP of energy and those ballistics are fairly mediocre because civilian companies won’t load the round to what ComBloc nations did. This nonsensical “.30 Super Carry” is really nothing much more than a .32 ACP Magnum, like the .38 Special is to the .357 Magnum. But since the .32 ACP has a rep as wimpy round they decided repackage it in a new and utterly useless round. Unbelievably even Nighthawk is offered a pistol in this caliber. Just another toy that gun shop commandos will breathlessly wait for. I can’t wait for the AR pistol chambered in this……NOT.Suck My Glock wrote: ↑January 11th, 2022, 8:10 pm All it does is duplicate 7.62x25 performance in a straight-wall case rather than bottle-neck. Folks have tried to make that round as effective as 9mm, but just can't seem to do so. And even if they could, it would still have all the recoil and even more muzzle blast. You might gain a round or two in the magazines, but that's the only possible benefit I see that this would provide.
Then again, 30 years ago I thought the 9x23Win. was the cat's meow and would defeat the .357SIG in the marketplace because it duplicated its performance but fit more rounds in the magazine,...and I was mysteriously wrong. (People are stupid.)
I like it in theory. It was smart to get a couple well known manufacturers producing pistols for it. I think it will come down to whether Glock produces a pistol for it as to how successful it is. Like it or not Glock is the benchmark for CCW firearms. If they decide not to produce a pistol chambered for it, it will likely stay a boutique round.xerts1911 wrote: ↑January 11th, 2022, 5:18 pm https://www.federalpremium.com/30superc ... ForDefense

Hmm, that's not exactly true. If it were, the .45 GAP would be standard ammo for plinking. They also haven't got anything in micro compact with ultra round capacity. They're laggin', big time, and I'm a Glockaholic myself .Glock_Holiday wrote: ↑January 14th, 2022, 6:20 am

I think the 45GAP kinda proves my point. A useless round that never needed to exist and major ammo and firearms manufacturers supported it in their product lines. You even saw law enforcement agencies switching their whole departments over to it at one time. Eventually the market did what the market does and it is on life support at best at this point. But, it does illustrate the influence a company like Glock has in the market.kenpoprofessor wrote: ↑January 14th, 2022, 12:44 pmHmm, that's not exactly true.

Maybe it’s just me, but frumpy ol’ Uncle Paul is one of the last people I’m taking advice from (that’s a long list, but he’s still on it)…
