Well, the .357 Sig is a .40 S&W case with a 9mm bullet stuck in it. The .40 S&W in itself is a shortened 10mm Auto. Why not stick the 9mm bullet in the 10mm case. Now THAT would be a badass round!

5.7?
I don't think body armor is that much of a worry for civies. Chances are that the guy you are defending your life against can barely afford the shirt on their back let alone body armor. Of course, I don't frequent rap concerts.

Think of the muzzle flash on that thing. Even if you miss, you could just burn them. |

I like your 10mm case idea...
 So is the future of handguns in bottle neck rounds such as: 357 Sig and 400 Cor Bon... I like 357 Sig but I still think it ain't enough. You think 10mm case with a 5" to 6" barrel pushing a 100 to 115 grain 9mm round could reach up and perhaps over the 1800 to 2000 fps threshold? Do you think the 5.7 FN type round is a flash in the pan like sabots were to rifles? By the way... anyone have balistic info on the 400 Cor Bon? How does it compare to the 10mm, 357 Sig and 7.62x25? |

...apparently some people have never heard of the 9x25 Dillon... |

Ok did my check on the 9x25. So if you can get 1800 fps out of a 110 gr. cartridge (Handgun) why the 5.7 FN? Couldn't you make a 90-100 grain round in a 9x25 FN type Carbine pushing up and over the 2000 fps barrier? I mean who I am to say... but wouldn't this be a better approach?

Okay, I'll see your 9/10mm (not a bad idea at all) and raise you: a 9/45 WinMag. (Anyone remember the .38 Hard Head?) I've also been toying with the possibility of a .44 AutoMag lengthened to the full length of an AR-15 magazine. D'oh, I just gave away one of my pet projects--

In a word, penetration. The 5.7x28 (and the HK 4.6x30) were both designed to replace the 9x19 with a round which can drill through body armour, hence the small calibre. Of course, the 9x25 could be loaded with one of the AP bullets the Russians are loading into their 9x19 and 9x21 ammo. These are very light and fast and consist of a steel core which is separated from the rest of the bullet by a plastic liner. The idea is that against an unprotected target the bullet holds together and acts as a ball round, but against armour the core separates fom the rest and penetrates by itself. These bullets are supposed to be pretty good against armour, but for aerodynamic reasons their effective AP range is more limited that the 5.7 or 4.6.

Those Russians soemtimes come at problems so differently... I always liked their air bubble concept in the 5.45.
Anyhow... I see and know what your saying... The 5.7 and 4.6 concept is in the approach of light and fast. I am just saying and asking how about not so heavy or light and just as fast. Something that has enough weight that it is not so dependent on velocity (At outer ranges) and within its high velocity range still has the potential for AP lethality. (Within 100 yards / carbine) I guess your Russian example is closer to the concept I am speaking to; but not exact. |

With the right handgun and proper loading the 9X25 is awesome. With a FMJ it will penetrate some body armor right now. If you could design a hand gun to handle it and make it an effective combat tool look out! Double Tap has several loadings for this round and with a barrel swap you can run them with the Glock 20 with no problems. Might wear it out faster.

Doubletap's 95 grain loading gets 2000 fps out of a 6" Glock 20 barrel. I'm sure it would be plenty quick out of a carbine, but it's far easier to buy and install a barrel for the Glock than it would be for a 10mm carbine. |

7.62x30 ? Make it more like a shortened 7.62x39 rifle cartridge than the 7.62 Tokarev, might be something there I think.

I would be all over your idea of the 7 mm round launched out of a bullet length of 30mm. My only concern would be the handgun design (Not Carbine) what would the grip be like?

Like when the USA wasted $20million on R&D for a pen that would work in zero gravity environments, so astronaughts could take notes and write in journals, etc... And the russians just took pencils... |

Why don't we just roll all these concepts into one and neck the 9x25 Dillon down to 7.62 -- 7.62/10mm -- then plant a saboted .223 Barnes X-bullet into a compressed load of 296 (??!)
Who wants to pull the trigger?

I say we scrap every caliber and go with the .45acp for hand/sub guns give the 9mm back to the euro's send the .40 back to the place it came from and design what everyone has been after the entire time. why Why WHY if there is such demand for a high capacity (13+) 1911 and double action/single action can no manufacture produce (except para ordnance) *junk) what would completely dominate the handgun market paraordnance almost had it right with their
ss 14-45LDA/LDT model and I almost bought one the thing that stopped me is that it didnt allow for cocked and locked it had a spurless hammer and some heever makes a highcap 1911 sa/da with a spurred hammer cock and lock I will first on the waiting list |

Fine against unprotected opponents, but what about those in body armour? Irregulars in the Middle East have already been seen wearing this, and the .45 ACP is just about the worst service cartridge there is for getting through it.
