Any thoughts on this newly annouced cartridge?
My EDC is a .40 Shield and I have been interested in
swapping to a micro 9 to get the much higher capacity...
My wife has a SIG 365 XL w/a Romeo Zero, so whatever
I get I want it to have a flat trigger and a plate
for red dot. I finally put my hands on a Taurus G4
yesterday and a Shield Plus. After carrying the
Shield, the Shield Plus 'felt' better than the Taurus,
so I am leaning that way...
I like my wife's SIG, but the Shield fits my hand a
little better. Then today, Smith annouces on Twitter
that the link to the 30 super carry pistols, including
the Shield Plus holding FIFTEEN rounds and the EZ
holding 10. I'm highly impressed! :-)

My opinion is that the Shield is a FAR superior gun.

I'm also interested in the Shield Plus in this caliber. Currently I'm using the Shield Plus in 9mm, which holds 10 rounds in the small
magazine and 13 in the large. I only carry it with the smaller mag though.
My only concern is the comparison between ballistics on the
9mm vs the 30 Super Carry ... I've always believed, for example, that
the .380 is underpowered for carry use and would never use one.
The
30SC has a lighter bullet and decent speed, so the energy is close to
the 9mm, and it might be the sweet spot in that regard. Going to wait
a bit and read up on real-world usage and reviews on the caliber.
Another possible contender is the brand new S&W 'CSX' pistol which is
an all-steel hammer gun, even smaller than the Shield, and also in
30SC...

Hmm... I missed the fact that it's going to be available in 30SC
- thought it was 9mm only! Will be going to check that out now...
Gun show in Jackson, TN tomorrow. Hadn't planned to go, just
because most stuff is still way over priced, but I'm thinking
about going just to see some stuff. :-)

... Yes, but you're taking the universe out of context.

Ooops, my mistake. Just checked and it is indeed only 9mm.

Always a good idea, and a good time! ;-)

I haven't looked into any reviews on the new cartridge, but it looks
like ligh t, fast bullet. 100 grain at 1215fps. 12 rds fitting in the space 10 rounds of 9mm take up. Choice of defensive projectile
shouldn't be too hard.
Regarding reloading, I wonder if the 110gr bullets used for reloading
.30 carbine would work for plinking ammo?

Agreed.

I don't currently reload, but been interested. Might be a good one
to learn on? :-)

Pistol cartridges are easy to start with. Since there is no bottleneck
to wor ry about,you can buy carbide dies and not worry about sizing
lube.

<snipped lots of GREAT info!!!>
WOW! Thank you! Since I've not done any loading, I wasn't sure what all would be required... I've been saving the .45 Colt brass from my wife's Judge, in the event that I load some 'cowboy rounds,' so sounds like
those would be decent to do as well (straight walled).
Thank you for the info! Gave me a lot to chew on!
... I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the Juneflower.

The RCBS Rebel Plus reloading kit has all you need to start. A scale
is important, and the cheaper kits do not come with one. Well, Lee has
a kit with ascale which is cheaper, however the RCBS press and
equipment is better built. I have some Lee items and they'll do the
job, but the RCBS stuff feels more solid and will last longer.

Maybe they will though - would be a good platform!
