To continue the theme that I just like guns - I find the idea of 30 Super Carry interesting. It is a rimless cartridge with performance roughly between 380acp and 9mm. If the end product meets or exceeds the standards Federal is establishing for it, I'd have a use for it. I'd carry it.
A couple more rounds in the magazine, a little less recoil, meets FBI ballistic standards - I don't see an issue. I like options and having them. I've had my eye on Beretta Cheetahs because 380 with capacity greater than 10 sounds fun.
Looking at duty caliber pistol performance, rounds are just poking holes. If you are gaining positives with this caliber and maintaining the standard - how is it a bad idea? I think of the arguments for moving from 40 to 9mm with police depts.
If you don't feel 380 is adequate but 9mm might be too much - this has the potential of also being a good choice for people with strength and dexterity issues due to age or injury. I thought the M&P EZ series was kinda neat. My wife would be more likely to shoot 30SC over 9mm based on my understanding. That right there is all the reason I need.
I've read comments of people complaining ammo manufacturers can't keep up with current needs and a new niche caliber just adds an additional complication to supply. I understand that concern. I haven't picked up a 327 Fed mag due to not having a supply of ammo nearby. I also was considering getting some form of 5.7 purely for fun but didn't due to ammo scarcity.
I'm tired of everything being negative and edgy for the sake of doing so. It's more productive and a challenge to analyze stuff to figure out how it applies to me and even better when I determine- "yeah, I have a use for that".
