Weird Gun Idea - Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 380 but in .30 Super Carry

Do you remember the .30 Super Carry? It was supposed to be an alternative cartridge that could replace 9mm in many 9mm firearms and add capacity to the magazine. It's a great idea but I don't replacing 9mm as an industry standard any time soon. I like the idea of having an extra 2 rounds in my carry gun though. 

What I was sort of hoping for was a replacement for .380 ACP. The little .380 lacks a higher pressure standard that would help drive the bullets. I know ammo manufacturers have figured out how to make suitable hollow points but I liked the idea of having a small pistol like the Bodyguard 380 but in a more powerful caliber. I think that the .30 Super Carry could be that cartridge.

What I would like to see is Smith and Wesson make a little something as narrow as the Bodyguard 380 with a little longer barrel and a magazine capacity around 7. It would be an incredibly slim carry gun with some good power.
