It never reached the popularity Glock was hoping for. As such, its what I would call an uncommon caliber. It will likely be harder to find over time and likely a bit more expensive. I myself tend to stay away from uncommon calibers unless I have a very specific need, purpose.

The .45 GAP was a solution to a uniquely Glock problem. The reason Glock created the cartridge was because the .45 ACP guns had grips the size of tree stumps and they wanted .45 ACP power out of a Glock 17 sized gun. They roughly achieved that, and the .45 GAP fits exactly into the Glock 17 grip frame.

However, no one else seems/ed to be having problems with fitting .45 ACP in their guns so it never took off. Plus, Glock now has the SF models so they're even moving away from it. I can see the Glock 37, 38, and 39 disappearing in the not too distant future.

I don't think it will go away. I would say its in the same boat as the Glock 20. It's not for everyone, but its a very nice gun. Speaking as a former Glock 21SF owner, the G37 fits better for me than the 21SF. Too bad there's so much hate out there. I just enjoy the gun for what it is, a fun to shoot gun in a 45 caliber.

Ammo is pricey and hard to find true, but as a 10mm owner, I'm used to it. In my experience so far, it's easier to find 45 GAP than 10mm. I just take my time shooting.

As long as law enforcement uses/supports a particular cartridge that cartridge will not die out.

In the last 2-3 years, five state (GA, SC, NY, PA & FL) law enforcement agencies have adopted the .45GAP.

No wonder when I went to Vegas looking for .45 GAP ammo I couldn't find any... All the security guards bought them all

Actually, I went to Bass Pro by the Silverton Casino and they have a pretty sad looking ammo shelf, guess there are ammunition shortages and hoarders there too! LOL

The 45GAP is the answer to a question almost no one was asking.

I think Glock was a little jealous of the 357SIG and wanted their "own" round, but that is just a guess...

Since you obviously know so much about the .45 GAP round, why don't you enlighten us? What exactly was the intended purpose of the .45 GAP?

I never wrote that I knew JACK about the 45GAP other than it my guesstimate that Glock wanted their own "signature" round. From what I have read, it offers no advantage over the 45ACP round.

Take a minute and relax, I was not disparaging the 45GAP. I'm sure it is a fine round. My point is that it is going to have a very tough time gaining market traction.

Know that this is coming from a 357SIG fan .
