S&W Shield EZ in .30 Super Carry
.[url=https://ibb.co/bbJHPwp][/url]
Thoughts on it? The general impression of the youtubers I watch is that if they closed their eyes and shot it and then a 9mm they may not be able to tell you which is which.
https://gununiversity.com/30-super-carry/
Pros
- smaller than 9mm, so higher capacity (12 to 10)
Cons
Less energy than 9mmSmaller expansion than 380 AUTORarer / More Expensive than 9mmSimilar recoil to 9mmCan't be used in competitionsLimited firearm/ammo optionsVery high pressure cartridge
The last two successful pistol cartridges released were the .40(hugely successful) and .327(narrowly successful though the jury is still out). Both of those cartridges filled a space. The .40 giving a much more controllable 10mm and high cap magazines and such and the .327 bringing the full potential to the .32 mag, 6th round, etc.
I haven't yet figured out the question the .30 super is trying to answer. I don't think the 12 to 10 is any kind of difference maker for the vast majority of people.
That all being said, I apologize for the derail. Don't get me wrong I am intrigued by the cartridge and if Glock or Kahr produce a .30 Super I will be first in line to buy it. I hope they do.
Edit to add. The .45 GAP was a failure and the .357 Sig seems to be as well. The latter surprises me. I thought the .357 sig would make it. I had a Glock 32 for years. I think it, like the .40, fell victim to the new bullet designs for 9mm.
