How come nobody creates a high pressure modern 30~ caliber handgun round that would give 380 power and double stack mags in a pocket pistol form factor? Why do we need to use ancient low pressure rounds like 380?

Isn't this what Tokarev ammo is? Or is that design not new enough?
>>31987685
Why would we even need that when there are already small double stack 9mm pistols with decent capacity? It seems like an answer in search of a problem like .40S&W was.

>wants 380 power
>says 380 is low pressure
What do you want?
>>31987810
Pressure isn't the same as power. For instance 45 is low pressure but fairly powerful
>>31987836
Define power.
>>31987685
.357 sig
>>31987800
I want a tiny gun that holds 12 rounds. Double stack 9s aren't small enough
>>31987844
Define define.
Pressure is measurable. Power is more complicated than ft lbs
how about a sub compact 5.7x28?
>>31987876
In physics it's the rate at which work is done
>>31987876
Power, when used in terms of firearms, is undefined fuddshit that people use to try and justify the fact that they carry a single stack 1911 instead of a double stack 9mm pistol. Not to say the 1911 is a bad pistol or .45ACP is a bad round, but if you can't make a cohesive argument for it, don't try and defend fuddlore.

It's a good start. I was thinking more like 7.62x20+ that has the power to expand a hp to .4" with good penetration.
>>31987900
45 is more powerful than 9mm. That doesn't make the other tradeoffs worth it however. To deny that some rounds are more powerful than others is delusional.
>>31987962
9mm moves at a higher velocity, while .45ACP makes a slightly bigger hole. Does this mean .50AE is a more powerful round than .460 S&W because it makes a slightly bigger hole even though .460 trounces it in velocity?
>>31987685
high velocity .22 pistol is now a new trend
next is +p+ 9mm
Russia will adopt 9x21 really soon
>why does nobody make
this is where u have gone wrongs
Goddamn you guys are all retarded, power is the kinetic energy of the projectile
>>31987962
>45 is more powerful than 9mm.
nope.

I guess someone could make an automag for .327, but the grip would ve relatively long. Just get a .32 ACP and carry Lehigh Xtreme Cavitators.
