before I could say for sure. But I do have one question on this. Why would anyone want to go to the expense to chamber this very weak cartridge in their carry gun? It has just barely more power than a 380 and considerably less power than a 9mm. If you wanted to chamber a cartridge in our Hellcat why not go ahead and chamber it to 9mm and have something with power. We have done the Hellcat in 9mm and in 38 Super.
On the other side of the coin, if you decided to go ahead with this we would have to order the chamber reamer which could take 6 months or more. We have never had anyone ask for anything chambered in this cartridge. So you would end up spending over twice what the Hellcat in 9mm would cost and end up with a carry gun with mediocre power for a self defense gun. For all practical purposes the 30 Super Carry would give you barely the power of a 380 and if you needed something to save your life I would hate to think I had to depend upon this cartridge to do so.
Just my personal opinion and my opinion plus $11.75 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Feasible to chamber a Hellcat/Bearcat in 30 Super Carry? (nm) - Keith, 2024-05-29, 20:54
