I not a big fan of SD handgun rounds that will cost me my hearing.
See post 30.

I will be watching for tests of this cartridge in longer barrels in the 10-18" lengths.
I would have more interest in a pistol chambered in 30 Super Carry if I could have a carbine to go with it.Because you want a carbine in 30 SC or why ?
I agree with you totally on this. If this were to happen I'd likely buy the smaller gun chambered for it.I think 30 Super Carry needs a gun designed specifically for its dimensions and power in order to show its advantages relative to other cartridges. Using guns optimized for other ammuntion is not going to show it at its best.
It fits the ballistic gap between 9mm Luger and 380 ACP.
If the ammunition cost as mentioned were less than 9x19 the 30 SC would catch on. As mentioned the firearms for cartridge must follow in short order and not be based on a 9x19 platform IMO.It will be as dead as the glock 45 GAP or the 9mm rimmed Federal in couple of years.........It fills NO NICHE.
Same here. It doesn't really mean anything in the real world. A bullet for a four bore elephant rifle can weigh as much as 2,000 gr. If it can be propelled at 80 F.P.S...and you can probably THROW it that fast... it makes major in the I.P.S.C. crowd's book. By the "power factor's" equation it is just as powerful as the 230 gr. 45 ACP round. But it is nowhere near as deadly. Actually, obviously, it isn't really "deadly" at all ! But hey, it makes "MAJOR!!"I'm not sure power factor is useful.
And those claims were parroted by idiots who knew nothing about the gun. 400s were designed to shoot the Largo round and nothing else. The fact that the 9mm Steyr will function in 400s is simply a coincidence, the Steyr round is slightly tapered and it will chamber and fire in every 400 I have owned. This interchangeability is a one way street. The Largo round has no taper and usually will not fully chamber in the Steyr pistol. Firing .38 ACP rounds will sometimes work, IF THE RIM fits into the breech face. Many 400s will not accept the .405 semi-rim on the super cartridge. Supers aren't a good Idea, for obvious reasons.In 1960s, the Astra 400 was advertised as firing 9mm Largo, .38 Auto, 9mm Luger and .380 ACP. Versatility! But nooo, manufacturers ignored multi-caliber versatility and continued to make automatic pistols for just one cartridge, and you see how that worked out in the market place. Any gun for .30 Super only is doomed.
I'm trying to think of any self defense caliber that ISN'T ear splitting to shoot without hearing protection...If this is like .327FM which is ear splitting to shoot without hearing protection. I'm out.
It's pretty much me sitting on a pile of guns in .45 ACP and thinking that I should've gone with 9mm when I started out.If I were just getting into defensive handguns, I would look very seriously at the .30SC. As it stands, I already have a significant investment in firearms and ammunition and I don't see the .30SC as attractive/superior enough to make me want to change over or even branch out.
You forgot the new and improved high tech fleece bullet stop!OMG its the Paul Harrell "Meat Target"

Not looking too good for 30 SC on the meat target. Better than a pointed stick, but what was the advantage over 9mm again?
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "meat market".
