That many people can't handle 9mm.

First the 10mm was too much recoil.
Then the .40 was still snappy.
The 9mm was just right.
Now this.

IF you can cram something like a 130grain bullet in it at subsonic velocities, it would make an interesting suppressor host caliber.  Much like with the same can design 9mm is quieter than .45, you'd expect this to be slightly quieter yet.

I suspect this is going to have the market success of .45GAP and .41AE though.

That would be a BIG deal.  Actually, that 9mm can now reliably pass the FBI protocol is a BIG deal.  That is a recent (less than 5 years ago) development.

My money is on suped up French Longue, only thing that really makes sense.

If it really does replicate 9mm ballistics we could have something sorta interesting in a full sized package where you could cram 4 or 5 more rounds in the same sized gun.

Since the capacity is 10 instead of 8, I am going with this is a new fad caliber that's basically a .32ACP but rimless and loaded to higher pressure.

I will laugh my ass off it it turns out to be 7.6520mm Longue.

Base diameters:
9x19 - .391"
.380acp - .374"
7.65x20 - .336"

Basically, we're looking at a cartridge that's ~15% smaller in diameter than 9mm. Given that the standard Shield EZ 380 holds 8 rounds and this one apparently holds 10, that tracks.

Now imagine roughly...

18 rounds in a G19
13 rounds in a P365
21 rounds in a G17 or Beretta 92
8 rounds in a G42
12 rounds in a LCP Max

All with flush fit mags.

This could get fun.

One of my crazy project ideas in the .25X25.

Take the .25ACP, lose the vestigial rim, strengthen the case web, stretch the case out to 25mm.  Develop a 30-50gr bullet for controlled expansion at 2,000fps, and stuff it over a shitload of powder.

I've always wondered about a modernized 7.62x20 Longue, running modern powder at what would be considered +P+ pressures from compressed loads.

Of course, the ammo would have to be labeled "Ruger only."

If real, this round wouldn’t be for replacing 9mm in terms of performance.  Instead I think the idea is to find something that can replace the .380, or at least provide better performance than the .380 in the same size package with more capacity.

Basically what the .327 federal gives you over .38 special, but for auto loaders

The vast majority of .380 HP loads don’t get enough penetration.  This new round in theory could provide good expansion and penetration in a small pocket pistol package.  And give you an extra round or two over .380

Doesn't need to be a solid copper HP, and is probably more legal if its not to stay under the 25% jacket weight catch all.  I had no problem going through every soft panel I tested with nickel rod in drilled out 90 grain XTPs in .380, and could shoot through two IIIa panels, 4" of clay, and multiple water jugs in 9mm. There's an old thread lost in the archives somewhere.

a 100gr HST going 1200FPS would be interesting from the little LCP sized mouse guns, assuming it meets FBI protocols

but this is a terrible time to release a new caliberand its weird to see them making a smaller cartridge in a bigger handgun while the trend is making 9mm handguns even smaller and smaller

A few years ago 7.62x25 was considerably less than 9mm up here but the only guns you could get were Tokarevs or a Norinco P226. I think it's a neat cartridge (especially if it's cheap) and a real steel framed Sig Sauer or something would be cool.
