Interesting discussion! Makes me want to go look for a 32-20 wheelgun!

Guys actually shooting samples at SHOT Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP_c1Pp2JUI
1. It kicks just like a 9mm
2. It holds 12 instead of 10
3. The smaller diameter case opens up possibilities of using different sized frames/grips than the current 9mm size requires.
My two cents: #3 is the most interesting idea. I could see marketing a new pistol with a grip designed for women, slimmer, but with adequate magazine capacity.

Remember: Ammo will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no ammo.
It would be easy for me to start loading for it, as I already have a bunch of suitable projectiles and powder. If I ever come across a pistol chambered in this round for a decent price, I may buy it, just because I kind of like to shoot odd-ball guns/cartridges. But there's no way this thing catches on.
What is needed is a small frame revolver with a 3" barrel and adjustable sights that doesn't throw unobtanium brass into the weeds. GF

As dverna posted, the LCRx 3" has been out for I'd guess 8 years by now. The only shame is they failed to ever release it in 327 federal. For that you can get the 3" SP101 which has been around for decades, and was the original 327 federal gun. S&W also released their J frame as a 3" in 327 federal. It sure would be sweet to be able to use these guns to shoot this new 30 super carry, but too late now.
I've got one of those 327FM J frames, and it's a great carry gun!
I’m not at all convinced that it won’t chamber in a 32 S&W or 32 S&W Long revolver.
The diameter of this at the base is listed as 0.3425”.
That’s not much larger than some sloppy chambers I’ve seen.
A determined idiot could press-fit one in there, I’m guessing.
Is anyone making an AR platform for this do all, end all new cartridge? Asking for a friend of course.

From what I understand, it's not. The chamber pressure in the 30 SC drops significantly before the bullet leaves the barrel, so muzzle blast isn't an issue. From what I've seen and heard from people who have actually shot the round, its recoil and muzzle blast is pretty much indistinguishable from a 9mm.

looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. I've a SW 9mm m&p ez. the only thing that I don't like about the gun is that it is a 8 plus 1 capacity. My little Kimber micro 9 has 6, 7 or 8 round mags so I have same 8 plus 1 in a smaller, less controllable gun. this round gives the ez 10plus 1. 20%more rounds. performance slightly less than a 9mm. Good tradeoff if you just really want to go with a new round but that is only gain. and ammo will be 50% more expensive

I will stick with 32 H&R and 327 Mag instead the 327 can reach 9mm or H&R nearly so but not a good mtn revolver caliber.
So what does this do that a 7.62x25 won't? A 30 cal 85gr hp at 1500+ should be pretty effective. Sounds like they are going backwards. I personally prefer the 45acp but if you want velocity the Tok round has got it.
It seems very stupid to me .
