As a cartridge the GAP is superior in just about every way to the .45 ACP - except that it's not common (yet?).

whoa, whoa, whoa, the .45GAP doesnt do anything better than the .45ACP, except be slightly smaller so as to be more accomodating to smaller hands.
Its not a miracle of modern propellants, its a +p round. Thats why no one has ever or will ever make a +p .45GAp, they're already +p (like the .40S&W)
If you don't believe me, go check the ammo makers for yourself.
.45 G.A.P. is NOT on par with the .45ACP, not when you start weighing in +p.45ACP loads especially.
p.s. Springfield AFAIK doesnt sell pistols chambered in .45 G.A.P. Just Glock.
