Federal "reinvents" the .30 luger cartridge

Round count in a small compact carry handgun is their marketing point. They would not have achieved that with the larger body of the .30 Luger bottleneck cartridge.

Sounds like a slightly scaled down 9mm Luger.

Touted for fitting "12 cartridges into a magazine that would only hold 10 9mm Luger cartridges" it is also criticized for "less energy and expansion"...

The 9mm Luger is a very good self defense cartridge. The .30 Luger was an acceptable self defense cartridge. This new one is questionable.
