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! :-)

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

I think that's a smart move.

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...

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?
