Except .30 Super Carry was ready to go when it was announced. You don't just spin up a product like this from nothing and have it ready to go. Federal would have started work on .30SC when ammo availability was not a problem, and was already getting production tooling ready to go when the supply crunch hit. Similarly, that's a lot of sunk capital to just walk away from. This is not the result of them not reading the room: This is the result of them being suddenly hit with drastically different market conditions and having to run with it because it's what they have ready to go.

The handgun market right now is "stack and a half" self defense pistols, and one of the major selling points is round capacity. After Sig released the 365, everybody had to produce their own 365 clones, and many touted their versions having a 1rd higher magazine capacity than Sig. It's no different than horsepower wars between the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro. If the 30sc is adding 2 rounds to my current 9mm Shield+, and the 30sc hst round has more energy than my current 9mm 147gr hst round, then what is the problem? Federal hst rounds are good to go, so the hst 30sc round won't be any different. People bought a Hellcat because it had 1 more round than the 365, so people are gonna buy this for sure.

Except it's the opposite, while those we rejected because "they had pretty much the same performance as narrower cartridges, it's not worth the smaller capacity or bigger gun" this time the script is flipped, now it's 9x19mm that has pretty much the same capability but because it's wider it's either a lower capacity or a bigger gun. And we know from the incredible successes of single-stack .380 pistols that there is a huge demand for very VERY small pistols. We know from the failure of guns that just shoot more lead at the cost of capacity are not favoured as "well I'd rather have a slightly lower recoiling round for a bit higher capacity". This is RESPONDING to trends, not defying them. it's not a trend that "9mm has won before so it will always win no matter what". Some people will pay any price to have "the best" they want a gun as small as a Ruger .380 but with the capacity and power of a Glock 19.

Two things to note about .30 SC: One, the diameter of the cartridge may be small enough to make a double stack, two position feed magazine feasible. Not having to taper down to single feed will add even more capacity without additional length. Second, the smaller bore would make for a quieter suppressed gun.

The price is somewhat understandable. 9mm is typically cheap due to economy of scale, since so much is produced for military and other uses. Both .380 and .32 use less raw material than 9mm, but are always more expensive at retail. Before 2020, I could regularly find .308 cheaper than 300 BLK.

@@sadiporter2966 The argument you're missing is "how likely will those extra two rounds actually matter?" In the days of the original Shield and G42, going from 6 to 8 rounds was a relatively huge increase. But in light of the 365, Hellcat, Max 9, Shield Plus, Mako, and others, going from 10-12 to 12-14 rounds isn't as big a deal. Thankfully it's already very unlikely you will need to use your carry pistol. In that unlikely event, it's most likely you'll fire 3-5 rounds. So, are there situations that will occur you can't solve 6 rounds but can with 8? Yes, but very unlikely. Can't solve with 8 but can with 10? Even more unlikely. As the saying goes, you can't miss fast enough. If 10-12 rounds won't cut it, but 12-14 will, you're either a lousy shot or you're in such an unlikely scenario that no one could prepare for it. And if you're in an extended shootout that lasts more than one volley, capacity becomes less an issue since reloads and extended mags come into play.

@blackbird_actual2 жыл бұрын
@@zm1786 Capacity isn't the be all, end all of a carry round. The main issue with something like .40 is that in compact carry guns, the capacity lost and increased recoil vs 9mm isn't made up for by .40s marginally improved terminal ballistics. In the case of .30 super carry, you do get a couple more rounds in the magazine, but when the new microcompacts can hold up to 13-15rds of 9mm, it's not much of an improvement - most self defense shootings are over after 3-5 rounds fired. Now, not many people are going to carry a gun which only holds 5 rounds these days, but this desire for ever higher round counts at the expense of terminal performance really doesn't line up with reality. Bullet diameter and subsequent ability to expand is simply not something that can be written off completely. The reason 9x19 has had such staying power is because it offers a good balance of capacity, penetration, expansion, and recoil characteristics. The .30 super carry just doesn't offer enough of an improvement in that balance of variables mentioned to warrant a huge amount of interest. Now, if it could be used in handguns the size of the LCP, it would most definitely be a significant improvement, but it doesn't appear likely that those very small deep carry guns will, at least in the present, be able to handle the increased pressure of the .30 super carry. If Federal continues to try and make it a 9mm killer, it will be a failure.

I think I commented on one of your videos that this feels like a re-invention of the 5.7x28. The pressure is high enough that it might not work in an LCP-sized pistol. Even if it is mechanically possible, the recoil would be a problem with so little real estate on the gun to get a grip. In a duty-sized gun, one can get a bunch of cartridges, but I'm not sure how often that is needed. The ammunition is around twice the cost of 9mm, so practice becomes very expensive for people who aren't being supplied by the ammunition companies. I'm more curious how the caliber would work in a pistol caliber carbine. If a sixteen-inch barrel gives a corresponding velocity increase while the bullet remains stable, maybe this could be a fun caliber for having a pistol and rifle in the same caliber. Maybe an AR-pistol in this caliber could be fun. Even then, the caliber seems to be heading for niche status.

@Predalien1952 жыл бұрын
I don't think 9mm users are expected to abandoned it. If you're a new gun buyer you have nothing to start with, so the clay is fresh to mold as one sees fit. As for people who already own guns, I can't speak on your behalf but I know plenty of people who get tired of the same old stuff and just want something "different". This is a potential answer for those people. But from a serious standpoint, if you could have a S&W Shield Plus with 15 instead of 13 or EZ in 9mm with 10 rounds instead of 8 without increasing the length of the magazine, I think most people would be on board with that. Kind of like Shield Arms and their Glock 43X/48 magazines. Only now... the potential for even higher capacity exists. So people would welcome extra rounds. Sure, there's all the naysayers with the "You don't need those extra rounds!" or some variation of that saying. Firstly I'd say get fucked but secondly I never met so many people who were against higher capacities until this cartridge came along. They never made those arguments when people talked about restricting capacities.... Regardless, for me as somebody who already owns a lot of .32 caliber firearms, from a reloading perspective this makes a lot of sense to me as it uses the same projectiles my .32 H&R Magnums and .327 Federal Magnums do. From a defensive standpoint it offers power right in line with hot .32 H&R Magnum or very mild .327 Federal Magnum and of course much higher capacities over my revolvers. It won't replace them, but it will supplement them. End of the day, to each their own.

And since it would take like 10 years to pay off you would be losing money on the machine in the long run aka why ammo manufacturers aren't tooling up additional 9mm machines. In comparison a new round would have demand even if niche and that newachine can actually continue to run even if the demand for it isn't as high as a 9mm might be in the market. Making it a better investment. A machine that loses money vs once that will make money. It's really that simple. They are looking at there company 5 to 10 years from now. Not the shelves in the ammo store this year.

@@Lowlightt right so ammo companies don’t give a shit if you can’t afford their ammo or get the rounds you want as long as it’s financially beneficial for them. Backwards thinking in my book I don’t think they’d lose a penny if they supplied more 9mm not to mention the expensive part of the investment is the machining itself meaning they can just retool later if they want to make a new round once things catch up. The machines aren’t exclusive to caliber.

If the new gun owners / new shooter segment is truly driving the latest innovations…were there that many new shooters totally unprepared for the power/recoil of the 9mm?

A good range report and I wish the developer well with the 30 super carry, for myself it is not something to be considered for cost and practicality. Seems to be a good concept but hard to knock the 9mm of the hill.

Smaller ammo means more round om a pallet. Less shipping costs for more rounds. Overall the logistics makes it much cheaper than 9mm if it catches on.

If what people want is more energy they need to carry a 44 magnum, if they want a semi auto firearm carry a 10mm. If you only care about capacity this will be the round. I honestly think this will be a flop. 2 rounds isn’t enough to add another caliber to my 8 already in my inventory. Now if it was more capacity, more energy and lighter while having the same recoil as a 9mm, 40s&w or 45 acp then I’d be all over it like stink on shit. I will see you all on forgotten weapons in 5 years when Ian is talking abou this.

Hi James, appreciate all the info from the show. The .30 SC is interesting, can you tell any significant difference in the “loudness” of this cartridge vs 9mm? In my experience, cartridges with significantly higher pressures generate more noise which could have some negative effects in a defensive situation however negligible.
