    You fellas have a 59 page thread on 30 super carry? What kind of joint is this and what in the hell did I sign up for???

    Ah, fresh meat I mean cult candidate I mean welcome, new friend. Have a sip of Flavor-Aid and a cookie and let me give you a visual representation of what you have signed up for... BTW, have you heard about our Lord & Savior's preferred caliber, .30 Super Carry? Lie back while the Flavor-Aid takes effect...

    When it comes to 9mm in a subcompact, I think a lot of people have a negative impression or perception of the recoil based on using 115gr ball when renting a gun to try it out.

    In addition to just hand feel, I encourage most people to find a range with a rental program that has the desired gun in the desired caliber and run a box thru it. Hand feel is great, but finding out after the fact the shooting experience sucks usually results in no practice and that’s the worst thing some can do with a gun that’s intended to be used in a defensive shooting.

    Most range ammo will be 115gr 9mm. In most subcompacts, a 147gr round will offer improved performance and a different recoil impulse that usually results in ‘less’ perceived recoil. When I ended up with a P365XL, it was after shooting the Shield, Shield+, P365, P365 SAS, a P239, and an LCP. Ergonomically, the Shield+ was great. Then I shot it and realized something wasn’t right. The P365 suck ergonomically, but I found a WC grip module for the XL and that fixed the ergos and suddenly the XL became a better shooting experience.

    But if I was debating between 9mm and 30SuperCrap, I’d also be looking at .380ACP as a viable caliber. Some of the modern JHP offerings in .380ACP are effective enough.
    Just get a Glock .40 and be done with it.
