The M1Carbine should have made this list.

The M1 carbine rd is not considered a pistol caliber.

Even though it’s like a pistol round, it is a rifle round and the article was about pistol-caliber carbines. M1 carbine is a cool little firearm though.

Just loaded up 200 rounds of .30 carbine for my plainfield and my son’s original Inland. They call the caliber equivalent to a .357 magnum. But the 110 grain grain slug doesn’t quite have the stopping power. At Chosin Reservoir the light bullets didn’t make it through the thick quilted winter clothing of the Chinese infantry. It got a bad rap after that.

My dad carried one during WW2 throughout the Solomons. There, small, lightly dressed Japanese were taken out much easier.

Personally I love the gun.

"The M1Carbine should have made this list."

Yeah, I agree.. And what the Russian PPSH-41 in 7.62x25mm..? With velocities up around 1600fts., it's very powerful...
But, I guess the conversation is about pistol cartridges used in submachine guns, not the other way around... :)
