Where you seeing that it runs a 50k? That's pretty high for a straight wall pistol cartridge.

No thanks. With pistol like the P365 that hold so much 9mm while being so small I see no point at all for this. It will flop
Or, you end up with .380 sized pistols with close to 9mm terminal ballistics. I usually feel these are answers in search of a problem, but this one I think may have potential to fill a use. Never been willing to CCW anything less than 9mm due to terminal ballistics, but a .380 sized pistol with 9mm like terminal ballistics could be a winner. As I'm not an early adopter of any tech, much less something that may save my life, I will sit back and let the shiny new toy beta testers of the world play with it for a while.
Looks closer to the 30 Luger ballistics.
At first glance I’m not a fan. It has less KE and expansion than a 9x19mm, and will undoubtedly cost more and be far less available. I also don’t think the gun frame sizes will be any smaller as it’s running higher pressures, maybe slightly thinner but why would a mfg tool up for such? (Unless demand really kicks off)
The only pro I can see is slightly higher magazine capacity and less recoil.
Gun owners always want innovation, but they poo-poo anything that isn’t 120 years old.
