A new round while there's been an ammo shortage is very ???? |

.327 Mag, meet .30 Super Carry - another smaller sized round that does a little less than its larger, more well-established competition except allow a couple extra rounds capacity at the expense of increased price and reduced availability. |

Quoted: The guns are absolutely horrible. At least a S&W Shield Plus would have been a much better option. But a 1911 of all things is the worst. And I actually do like and own 1911s, even 9mm ones. View Quote I don’t disagree, but just pointing out they are offering a Shield Plus chambered in this. Still horrible, but we can also be accurate |

I will buy a few magazines and a conversion barrel for my G19, just for the ammo compatability. You never know what may be available.
But even as an arthritic old fart, I don't see the need. It may prove a midway round between the .380acp and the 9mm, time will tell. |

It may prove a midway round between the .380acp and the 9mm, time will tell. View Quote The purpose of a “midway” round between .380 and 9mm is to get the most power possible out of a pistol with a locked breech. 9mm Makarov succeeded, but it also didn’t have to compete with anything else on an open market. 9mm Ultra did compete in an open market and it failed miserably in spite of having as favorable of a marketing environment as it was going to get. I like this round. I like 7.65 Parabellum too. In theory, if penetration and expansion can roughly equal 9x19, then it should offer an objective improvement to 9mm Para. I still don’t see a lot of people making the switch. Hopefully enough do that it will stick around and enjoy some popularity. It can take .40 S&W’s place in caliber wars. |

What makes it so "Super" exactly? A .357 revolver for concealed carry seems a lot more "Super".

They need to offer it in an optics ready full size double stack with a standard capacity of around 24 rounds.
A full sized version of Smiths new single action would be tits. Optics ready, picatinny rail on the dust cover, 4 pound trigger, 24+1 round capacity |

The chamber pressure of 50,000 holy shit, .50 bmg is 54k
357 is. 35k 460 is 64k 10mm is 37k Isn’t that a lot of pressure for a small gun or am I missing something? |

I like slim compact single stack pistols, but increased capacity and reduced recoil would be ideal in an optics ready mid and full sized double stack pistol. A single action trigger + optics ready +24 round standard capacity mag would be big ole bouncing titties. Be cooler if the rear sight was in front of the optics mount cut or the slide was cut so you could move the sights with the optics mounted. |

A 7.62x25 Tok or .30 Mauser would be kind of cool, especially with a modern self defense projectile. Otherwise, fuck having to add yet another obscure caliber to the inventory.

Hard to imagine that it will get many buyers in today's market of ammo shortages.

The PCC is where this round might shine. Double the barrel length and that 100 grain pill should be scooting.

Quoted: I don’t care about velocity or energy. I want to see penetration and expansion data for all of the FBI test criteria. It’s telling that they compared it to one of the worst performing 380 loads and only one 9mm load. I expect it will outperform 380, but require a 9mm sized gun. So how does it compare to 147Gn HST? How does it compare to 124Gn +P Gold Dot? How does it compare to 127Gn +P+ SXT? View Quote Can see them comparing to the 147 hst, but against +p should that be compared to 30 sc +p Then again with it’s standard 50k psi could they even make a +p for it? |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: So there selling point is it’s the first caliber designed for the CC market! What a crock Buy it! A fat man in flannel said so. I am a fat man in flannel well not right now but most of the time hahaha and I don’t think so. I’m not saying they won’t sell I’m sure they will to the target audience in droves especially if they ran the line and got pallets of ammo ready to ship with guns. I just can’t fathom why when they can’t meet current ammo demands of the most popular calibers why they’d add new ones. Because 9mm is $17/50 and this new stuff will be $25/20? This is actually the point of why they did it. They don’t care about providing us with calibers such as .357 magnum when they can make up some new round and charge even more for it. I saw so many 20 round boxes of 9mm ammo at bass pro in Springfield this week. To be honest it’s the most I ever saw on a shelf in my life. Even pre Covid I could pay $20-$25 for a 20 round box of hst or I could buy 50 round boxes of hst for $35 average. Exact same ammo but cheaper? It’s a scam |

After getting caught up in the thread,
7.62x25Tok can be loaded with Hornady 90gr XTP hollowpoints seated deep enough that it will feed from a 9mm magazine. There have been 1911 conversion barrels made (I've got one for a build that I'm still accumulating parts for), and their use involves either rolling your own ammo to fit your mags, or (the questionable practice of) running surplus ammo through your press to seat the projectiles a little deeper. All it would take for gun manufacturers to be more willing to offer 7.62x25Tok as an option in their .45acp/10mm/.38Super frames, is for ammo manufacturers to come up with a new standard for a load that has the projectile seated just deep enough to work in .38Super mags. It would give up a small amount of case capacity, but some experimenting with different powders may make up for the difference. That video will probably sell some guns. It might make you cringe or laugh, but there is a segment of the market that it will appeal to. Given how much time it can take for a new caliber to be developed and brought to market, it's possible that the ammo shortage wasn't expected to be much of a factor, until they started getting closer to release and we were still in a bad ammo market. Then again, some people may walk into a store and see a lot of empty ammo shelves, with the shelf for this caliber stocked, and decide it might be worth trying a gun in this new caliber because they can get ammo for it. As for the caliber itself... time will tell whether it's flop, some new nifty round for a niche market, or something that's going to be taking another caliber's spot in the current market. |

New S&W CSX, with a decent SA trigger, alloy frame, 10-12rd 9mm.
Might make a good fit for this new round. Attached File |

What will make this cartridge thrive is conversion kits for established models like the GLOCK 19 and GLOCK 43X for example. If the average gun aficionado can simply get a conversion barrels for their guns and use their original mags. This will greatly improve its chances.
Again, I like variety and I'd like to be able to simply swap out a barrel in my Beretta 92FS Centurion or GLOCK 17L for example. |

It seems that it should be possible to double stack in a 1911 width magazine. It would be cool if they do a Magnum version that's 45 ACP/10mm length that would allow 9mm or 9mm +p power level in a standard frame 1911 with 15 round capacity.
