.30 Super Carry, also known as .30 SC, is a rimless tapered pistol cartridge introduced by Federal Premium in early 2022.[3]

Description

It was designed for comparable performance to a standard 9×19mm Luger in a .312 caliber configuration and typically exceeds performance of the .380 ACP when utilized in semi-automatic handguns of similar size. Its smaller dimension is conducive to reconsidering existing handgun designs for greater capacity without increasing physical magazine size or decreasing cartridge performance below the perceived adequacy associated with long established alternatives.[1]

The round when initially released by Federal was loaded for 45,000 psi (310 MPa).[4] The maximum average pressure rating for this cartridge is 52,000 psi (360 MPa).[5]

Among the first pistols chambered in .30 Super Carry were the Smith & Wesson Shield EZ 30 SC and the Shield Plus 30 SC.[6]

In May 2023, Hi-Point released the Hi-Point 3095 carbine chambered in .30 SC.[7]
