Should reach out to flannel daddy. Or at bare minimum send him the ammo to make a video on ballistics.

1370fps, sometimes 1400. Not quite Magnum.9mm Major?
This has to be a joke just to see the public response so I'll bite.
I still haven't bought 10mm, 40 cal, 38 super, 32 acp, bla bla bla.... the amount of unneeded cartridges is truly mind blowing! I guess its like having 31 flavors at the ice cream store, keep the customers from being bored and keep the money rolling in.
I agree, which is why we only use standard 9mm cartridges so you can fire normal 9mm or ours (and +P and +P+). Our is to integrate, not make yet another round and wind up at the curio table at gun shows.the amount of unneeded cartridges is truly mind blowing!
Sorry, missed your question.Interesting, hope you guys get something going.
What specifically do you mean by "357 Magnum Power", are we talking 125gr power or 158gr power?
What sets your cartridge apart from the 357 Sig? Which is billed as "357 Magnum Power".
ETA- watched the video on your site, 125gr at 1450FPS... nice, that's the upper end of Sig numbers, not too far behind is +P+ 9mm numbers.
Not to sound negative, but is the juice going to be worth the squeeze?
There is plenty of money out there and can be had easily.
Looking at the website - I have a lot of doubts. Saying no one else has the vision or has done something that is simple but not tried in 400 years makes it sound like complete BS.

Our cartridge is a standard 9mm cartridge and as I recall the 357 Sig doesn't hit at full .357 Magnum force. This way, our modified pistols can fire normal 9mm and our cartridges (as well as +P and +P+).

In terms of buying one gun or coming on board? Yes, to both. The company needs very little capital --- but we need a captain. And cost per pistol is also competitive for the power they fire safely and reliably.
Hey, all good questions. Let me know if you know someone who is interested in moving this project forward. Thanks!Just an average Joe here with some additional thoughts...
You're not being very clear on your claims reference .357 Power, especially above the 124gr-125gr weight class of bullets. The Sig and your stated ballistics concerning the 124gr class projectiles are rather close... no where near a "leaps and bounds" increase worthy of the required investment in production, advertising, and ammo support.
Would I be correct to associate this wonder 9 with something like the .45 Super... as in it's nothing more than a thicker 9mm case to withstand higher pressures along with a beefier chamber to facilitate the same?
Is this new round a one trick pony (serious question)... as in only competing with .357 Magnum ballistics when compared to a light projectile?
My apologies to come off negative... but I'm seeing more hype than a real break-through in ballistic performance. With bullet technology being as it is today, a couple hundred FPS isn't a break-through IMO.
I believe your sales are going to be dismal at best and limited to people who really don't understand terminal ballistics... mainly the guy that has to have "the latest and (debatable) the greatest" to show off at the public range.
I do envy your ability to do this kind of R&D in firearms related areas... sound both interesting and fun. Good luck going forward however, as if not for people innovating and aspiring for greater man would have never stepped foot on the moon.
