Would you buy a micro compact DA/SA chambered in 30 Super Carry?

No.
But it sounds fun!
I suspect we're not going to see a whole lot more of the 8mm Super Duper - the .45 GAP was a neat cartridge, too.

I don't plan on buying anything in 5.7 mm or 30 Super Carry. 1911 pistols and S&W 38 Spl revolvers have been solving problems successfully for over 100 years.
I really don't see much use for the .30 Super Carry. Just don't see the advantage over 9x19. Besides, I already have "super .30's." They're called Polish and Romanian Tokarevs in 7.62x25.

I have a couple of earlier flavors of the .30 Super as well. 7.63 Mauser and 7.65 Parabellum. If nothing else they are centainly classier than any plastic doodad that might be chambered in .30 Super

If the cartridge were less expensive and available in a firearm that I liked, then sure, I could see myself getting a micro compact in .30 Super Carry.
I was tempted by the M&P30 Shield PLUS in the past...
Heck, get Walther to make a variation of the PPK chambered in .30 Super Carry and I guarantee you that I'll buy/carry it!

More capacity with very similar ballistics to 9mm might make a DA/SA micro compact "9mm" (but in 30 super carry) more feasible. That's the advantage. We still haven't seen a DA/SA micro compact 9mm hit the market yet. If you can't tell, I'm a DA/SA guy.

Nope. I can't legally buy anything with a mag capacity of more than 10 anyway, so the advantage of more rounds is moot for me.

IMHO it's nothing but a money grab and a solution to a problem that doesn't exist - nothing else! You have 9mm and .380 acp - no need for one in the middle. Try to get ammo for that 10 years down the road when the flame dies out - good luck! It will go the way of the 357 max. etc.

I would consider a micro DA/SA carry gun along the size of a shield + but not in 30SC. I'm fully invested in 9mm, 45 ACP and see no need FOR MY requirements to need another caliber.
Others may want the 30 SC, but FOR ME, I don't see it as anything special.

No. Another useless cartridge.
I would look hard at a DA/SA micro pistol but I am not really interested in 30 Super Duper Carry.
There is just not advantage there to warrant having to stock another (probably boutique) caliber.

It's tough to say for myself. I'm very happy with my P365 and Grand Power Q1S. But, to have a weapon similar in size as the Sig but carry 4 more rounds in a pocket? Tempting. Summers are too hot for the GP, so small and multiple rounds? I'm in.
I am waiting for the:
Super Duper Micro High Capacity Optic Ready version!!
