.30Carbine in a pistol loud? Yes compared to an 18.5” Carbine bbl.
Yeah! But doesn’t hold a candle to a .357mag with a125gr bullet.
15.0gr of H110 vs. 21.0gr of H110
7.5” bbl vs. 4” bbl.
ANY high pressure magnum pistol cartridge is LOUD.
THE .30Carbine, no more so...
I have a Ruger S-7 5.5” in .327magnum that’s LOUDER than the .30Carbine.
Nearly the same powder charge (13.4 vs. 15.0) but at somewhat higher pressure.
Loud? Yes
Loudest? Not at all.
Currently, the only AutoMag Iii is listed at $3,000. Good he turned down the lowball.
