How different is it from 30 reid?Here are some details:
30 HMT (30-380)
Use neck downed 380 brass (one step re-size)
71gr. FMJ #1250 fps, 240 ft/lbs # #
85 gr. Soft point 1150 #fps, 250 ft/lbs
90 gr. Hollow Point #1100 fps, 240 ft/lbs
100 gr. Soft Point #1025 fps, 220 ft/lbs
Compared to:
32 ACP
71gr. FMJ 900 fps, 128 ft/lbs(factory load)
380 ACP
100gr. HP 900 fps,180 ft/lbs (factory load)
As for comparing to the 30 Reid, quite simply on a ballistics point of view it blows it away, considering the 30 Reid is in the 32 acp neighbourhood.
The 30 HMT (30-380) is the optimum cartridge for blow-back pistols. It has the highest energy, highest velocity, flatest trajectory and terminal ballistic performance.
The design can be utilized in most small pistols of blow-back design and virtually all locked breech designs.
No other cartridge can rival its' performance (in blow-back units)
30 HMT cartridge has superior ballistics to the 32 ACP ( up to 192 % higher muzzle energy and 128 % muzzle velocity gains)
30 HMT cartridge is also superior to the 380 ACP (up to 138% higher muzzle energy and 128 % muzzle velocity gains)
30 HMT cartridge has superior feed and function characteristics by the nature of the bottle-neck design, ie. fewer failure to feed and extract issues, resulting in improved reliability.
30 HMT can be chambered in most firearms currently using 32 ACP and 380 ACP and can use all 380 ACP magazines ( some 32 ACP ) and can be converted with only a barrel change or re-chambering ( bore size under .309 for proper accuracy).

Thank you!
"and can be converted with only a barrel change or re-chambering ( bore size under .309 for proper accuracy)." Were the FN 1922s converted by rechambering the 32acp barrel? Are chamber reamers available somewhere? Dies?
