    .30 Super Carry

    So who's rushing out to get one? Anyone already have one? Been reading up on them and I fail to see how they're going to be a success if the ballistics are so close to 9MM and the only real advantage so far is the smaller diameter giving a slightly higher mag capacity. One reviewer was talking about how the high pressures might be hard to handle in a subcompact but I don't know enough about that stuff. Are there enough people who will buy it just to be different from all the 9's on the range?

    Why buy something that you can't buy ammo for?

    Answer to a question that was not asked. I would rather see more 7.62x25 offerings.

    necked down pistol cartridges never seem to fair well in the market. .40 super, 38 casull, .400 Corbon, all necked down pistol cartidges that simply came and went.

    Until .30 Super Carry ammo is stacked on the shelves like 9mm, it’s going to be difficult to convince many people to buy one. It may be a better mousetrap, but I have a safe full of older mousetraps that work just fine.
