A new offering from S & W

[RevolverGuy]

Another bottom feeder.

The counter commando at the gun shop told me today this new pistol will be available in a brand new caliber. He wasn’t very clear but its going to be something similar to a shortened .30carbine round.
Have y’all heard anything about this new cartridge?

Nope. .30 Super Carry. See the vid I posted.

Here’s another vid from Federal

So it’ll be $78 for a box of 20rds. When you can even find it.
Just like the .327Federal Magnum.

I will be a sad panda.

So is there where the capacity to produce 9mm went? Like Jesus guys do we not have enough cartridges?

Bad time to take production capacity up with a new product when they can't keep up with demand on existing lines. More .38Spl & .357 Magnum needed.....

Oh goody... a new caliber.

 

[Fletcherjl]

This is odd. I don't understand it, but that's OK I'll just keep carrying a Glock 19 and driving a diesel pickup. I'll pass on the 1911/ safe action trigger cross and hybrid vehicles. I'll pass on the new caliber as well.

Oh look. Another boutique caliber that's going to be DOA.

 

[Vaquero]

30 cal is for rifles.

30 Luger RAFFS at you.

Poor timing on a new boutique round.

I jumped on .357 Sig a year or two after getting into shooting. That was when 9mm was $5 a box for Winchester USA, or Wolf laquer coat. Frickin .357Sig was nigh impossible to find on a lot of store shelves, and when I could it was $10-12 a box for FMJ, and carry ammo was on-par price-wise with .44Mag.

I get the idea - they developed the round along with Smith & Wesson - Smith will be releasing two new variants of pistols to go with this round, so is Nighthawk. Smith's new CSX (I watched TFB's vid this morning, and learned CSX means Chief's Special with the X designator added for marketing) and an M&P EZ model. They want lighter, flatter shooting rounds in the pocket rockets. Nighthawk's 1911 is probably going to be a tack driver.

The hotter 30SC will probably approach standard 9mm in performance, but I doubt we'll see rounds heavier than 115 or 120 grains, and I bet 90 to 100 grains will be normal (like with .380 aka 9mm short)

It gives extra capacity in small guns - which is cool. It gives more capacity in full size guns - also cool. What's not cool is that this shit, as others pointed out, is taking production away from the calibers we already know, love, and want AND its going to be stupidly expensive. It will come on hot, thanks to paid gun reviews, articles raving about ballistic performance - just like .357Sig, .45GAP and other lesser known rounds. It will fade away into obscurity faster than either of those to boot.

I guess one upshot from the ammo maker and gun makers though - they can sell these new guns / rounds in countries that prohibit military calibers. Mexicans, Brazilians, and Argentinians can have something other than .32ACP and .38 Super or 9mm Largo now.

When do we get the Storm Lake '30 Carry' conversion barrels???

I bet BarSto, Storm Lake, and the Gucci crowd do start offering them for most major gun makes/models.

I wonder how heavy the recoil springs are on the factory guns for these.

Another something that I don't want or need.

.30 Super Scarcer?
