This video demonstrates that 9mm Luger ammunition will not chamber in a firearm designed for 30 Super Carry, and conversely, 30 Super Carry rounds will not reliably chamber or stay within the barrel of a 9mm firearm. The presenter emphasizes the importance of reading magazine markings to prevent dangerous ammunition mix-ups, especially under pressure.

Quick Summary

Ammunition for 30 Super Carry and 9mm Luger are not interchangeable. 9mm rounds are too large to fit in 30 Super Carry magazines and can lodge in the barrel. Conversely, 30 Super Carry rounds may not chamber in 9mm firearms and can exit the muzzle. Always verify magazine and ammunition caliber.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a 9mm round fit in a 30 Super Carry magazine?

No, a 9mm Luger round is too large in diameter to fit into a magazine specifically designed for the 30 Super Carry cartridge. Attempting to load 9mm into a 30 Super Carry firearm can lead to malfunctions, such as the round becoming lodged in the barrel.

Will 30 Super Carry ammunition work in a 9mm firearm?

No, 30 Super Carry ammunition will not reliably work in a 9mm firearm. While it might not fit in the 9mm magazine, if it does, it often won't chamber correctly and may even exit the barrel from the muzzle end without firing.

What happens if you accidentally load 9mm into a 30 Super Carry gun?

If a 9mm round is loaded into a 30 Super Carry firearm, it can become lodged in the barrel when attempting to chamber. This is because the 9mm round is larger in diameter than the 30 Super Carry, preventing proper chambering and potentially causing a malfunction.

Are 30 Super Carry and 9mm magazines interchangeable?

No, magazines designed for 30 Super Carry and 9mm Luger are not interchangeable. While they may lock into their respective firearms, they are specifically dimensioned for their intended caliber and will not allow for the correct feeding or chambering of the other caliber.
