Ruger .30 super carry in the LC9S frame?

[joecrab]

As I understand it, the .30 Super Carry is the same length as a 9MM, so why doesn't Ruger produce an LC.30 SC? Or if they don't, is it feasible to convert the LC9S to LC .30SC? Maybe an aftermarket conversion?

Lack of demand. Nobody wants it.

It's brand new and S&W is the only one making a gun for it. It would probably be great in the LCP frame.

One possible reason is the greater chamber pressure of the 30 SC may not be compatible with the LC9S.

It should be fine. The smaller caliber would allow a thicker chamber wall in the same size barrel.

I don't see any advantage of a 30 SC over a 9mm in a single stack (LC9) pistol. Perhaps if it increased the capacity significantly there would be market
