Will Smith & Wesson make 10 Round 30SC Magazines for the Plus

[dickydalton]

Living in a state that I shouldn't, it may soon be illegal to have magazines that hold over 10 rounds. S&W makes a 10 round 30sc magazine for the EZ but I don't see any for the Shield Plus. Is there any hope?

Why even bother with 30SC if you live in a magazine capacity restricted state? The 9mm Shield Plus is 10+1 as is.

30SC is a more obscure, more expensive, slightly less powerful round whose only selling point is you can get more capacity than a similar size 9mm, but if your state restricts that then no point.

They didn't use to. Look to the future. NM is actually trying to outlaw all semiautomatics.

Wow! I had heard that New Mexico was failing. Good luck in your political battles, brothers and sisters!

Actually, I think that .30SC should replace the .380ACP. It could have sufficient velocity for proper expansion of the bullet with less recoil for women and people with arthritis. Not as effective as a 9mm, but great for those people that can't quite handle a 9mm. They should have made a P365 .30SC version instead of the P365-380.

Perhaps for the 9mm size guns that are shooting 380 like the P365-380, but 30SC wont replace 380 in the micro pocket pistols like the Ruger LCP. It's still too powerful for such a tiny frame, the 380ACP continues to hold its own in this role and will continue for years to come.

.30SC has roughly similar recoil as 9mm. These guys tested it:

I can't tell the difference.

The 30SC has the same recoil as 9mm.

With the .30SC you can cut back on the powder load and still have sufficient velocity for the bullet to expand with less recoil.

Probably better to simply email/call S&W directly.

It is not a good idea to use hand loads for defensive ammunition.

I'm not referring to hand loads. I'm suggesting a light factory load.

 

[dickydalton]

Please, don't get the wrong idea here. I didn't buy the Shield Plus for more rounds, reduced recoil or any of the other marketing ploys! I bought it because I didn't have one and could! Now the government is trying to outlaw it for no legal reason!
