Description

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

It was designed as a competitor to 9×19mm Luger and .380 ACP for use in semi-automatic handguns, where its smaller dimensions are intended to permit greater magazine capacity without increasing physical magazine size or decreasing cartridge performance. The cartridge’s ballistic performance is claimed by its manufacturers to rival that of 9×19 Luger.

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

Among the first pistols chambered in .30 Super Carry were the Smith & WessonShield EZ 30 SC and the Shield Plus 30 SC.

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