 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. I want to talk about 30 Super Carry. It hit the ground running in early 2022 just this year. It made a lot of attention. A lot of people were buzzing about 30 Super Carry It's this new CCW round that's going to revolutionize the way we carry handguns and I started thinking about it Initially, I thought well, I think most people are satisfied with the current offerings 380, 9mm, 40, 45, 38 special, 357 Magnum, you name it People are already satisfied with that, but now there's 30 Super Carry and people say there are many there are many Advantages to 30 Super Carry So let's take a look at that and I want to give you my thoughts as to why I don't think 30 Super Carry is going to make it in the gun world. The first advantage is that It offers more rounds in the magazine and I think that's good The 30 Super Carry has a little bit of a longer case, but it's thinner and the bullet is just a little bit thinner So it does offer additional rounds in the magazine But my thought is that issue has already been addressed if you recall back about eight to ten years ago Single-stack nines were the rage. Everybody was going for a single-stack nine But then SIG and many other manufacturers came out with subcompact Double-stack mags started out with 10 rounds then it went to 12, 14, 15, 17 rounds in a mag So I think that area of additional mag capacity has already been addressed plus many people that carry They carry an additional mag. So most shooters or most CCW people are satisfied with their caliber offering Chambering whichever one they choose and they're satisfied with the availability of Mag capacities that are already out there. So in my mind that one's kind of a wash. They say it has decreased recoil from a nine millimeter Okay Nine millimeter is a pretty light load as it is. I never thought that nine millimeter needed a New chambering offering like 30 super carry to make it even less recoil people that think that nine millimeter is Heavy recoiling they typically would move to a 380 But they say it has less recoil I don't see it some of the people that shot them side-by-side the feedback I've gotten is that It's rather similar. All right. I'm not trying to bash 30 super carry It's just that when you say it has less recoil than nine millimeter That's to suggest that nine millimeter is a heavy recoiling round and it is just not the ballistic performance is pretty similar some will argue that the 30 super carry has greater ballistic performance. It travels an additional hundred feet per second Whatever happened to Shot placement is what's most important all right that That that has been verified so many times shot placement is more important than Penetration penetration is important. That's why a lot of people say hey be careful with 380, but Nonetheless, you know similar ballistic performance. It's not overwhelmingly better than nine millimeter Now some of the disadvantages in my opinion Outweigh the advantages if you look at the expense of it 30 super carry at this point is pretty expensive for a box of 50 You're looking at we're talking target loads here. You're looking at between 25 and 32 for a box of 50 That is double the cost of a box of nine millimeter And we've seen nine millimeter has dropped in price. You're looking at equivalent to a 45 acp Now it's going to be pretty tough to convince somebody who Is carrying 45 acp that they should switch over to 30 super carry when the ammo is essentially the same cost I said will you get more rounds in the magazine? They would argue well, I carry spare magazine So we're kind of leveling the playing field there Another thing and this is a big one. There are very few Handguns chambered in 30 super carry at this point. We look at smith. They have the shield plus And the shield easy, you know the real light rack one with the grip grip safety on there Those are chambered in 30 super carry I don't think many people who own a shield plus In nine millimeter is going to say well now that there's 30 super carry that I could pay More money for a box of 50 or a box of 20 self-defense loads that I'm going to put my nine millimeter away in Place for a 30 super carry. The advantage is not that much greater Another manufacturer nighthawk customs is making a 1911 in 30 super carry Every time I put out a nine millimeter 1911 someone saying that was meant to be in 45 acp now. That's that's what a 1911 is 45 acp now you're telling me I'm going to get one from nighthawk customs By the way, very expensive handgun specifically For 30 super carry. It just doesn't make that much sense to me So I don't think 30 super carry has Lasting power in the gun world. I just don't I don't think that there's a great desire for Additional rounds when that area has already been addressed. I don't think that a lighter load if it even is Then a nine millimeter Is going to persuade people to move over to 30 super carry and I don't think there are many guns Well, I know there aren't that are chambered in it now shot shows coming up a lot of these manufacturers are Developing and going to be introducing new models if there are a Plethora of new guns and 30 super carry and people get so excited that they have to get this and they're willing to pay an additional amount for the the boxes That carry 30 super carry then more benefit to them. I just don't see it I think if if Glock comes out with a 26 and 30 super carry, all right I may take notice but outside of that or many other offerings from different manufacturers I just don't see it. I don't think that it has Such a great advantage that it's going to persuade people away from nine away from 40 and 380 and all those others into a 30 super carry CCW and so I want to know your thoughts. What do you think? Is this just a phase going through that it's it's the new kid on the block and everybody is all excited For something that doesn't excite you at all or do you think that hey, this is something I really want I can't wait to go pick up a shield plus so I can chamber it in 30 super carry and get a couple additional rounds Therefore, I don't have to carry a spare magazine None of it really adds up to me now prove me wrong or say I'm right We'll see what comes out in the future and if the ammo drops a little bit and more guns come out Perhaps it'll have a future. But at this point, I just don't think it will I don't think 30 super carry is going to make it in the gun world If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
