The nice thing about the GAP is that it's a shorter round than the .45 ACP and achieves even better ballistics. This is due to the modern powders used nowadays. A shorter .45 means a smaller grip and a higher capacity with less bulk. If you compare the Glock .45 ACP and the Glock .45 GAP pistols you'll notice the GAP has a much smaller grip. As a cartridge the GAP is superior in just about every way to the .45 ACP - except that it's not common (yet?).

I thought of purchasing a .45 GAP myself once. But I already have many .45 ACP pistols. Besides, if some big apocalyptic disaster hits this country the easiest ammo to find would be .22, 9mm, .45, .38 sp and 12ga.
