[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2572175, member: 123604"] The main draw is magazine capacity. A shield plus in 30 super carry holds 3 rounds more than the same gun in 9mm, which is a 30% increase in capacity with the flush magazine. A subcompact in 30 Super Carry has a magazine capacity similar to a full size 9mm. It provides ballistics similar to 9mm in terms of energy and penetration, but isn't on par with 9mm +P. It operates at higher pressure than 9mm +P so it's unlikely many handguns could handle a +P version. I wouldn't replace my carry gun to switch calibers, but I'd consider 30 SC if I needed a new gun and was confident ammo would remain available. For anything other than a subcompact it's more or less pointless. [/QUOTE]
