OK, first off my bad, SPringfield has only discontinued the XD in .45GAP
but it is not at all balistically superior.
Heres the numbers for .45G.A.P. 230 grain Hydra-shok
25yards - 863 FPS - 380 FTLBS
Same for .45 A.C.P. 230 grain Hydra-shok
25 yards - 872 FPS - 389 FTLBS
I could go on, but what makes this superior man?
and yes the .45 GAp is meant to compete with the .45ACP, it was originally billed as a .45 for shooters with small hands.

Look, the GAP was developed in response to the one problem .45 ACP has - and that's the bulk of the grip - especially the double stacked ones. The ballistics are slightly better than the .45 ACP.

exactly, they said, hey wait a minute, theres something missing from the market here, so they made that great new thing, and let people decide for themselves if it was better, thats a competition, they are competing for the customers money.
I;m not really getting stressed about this man, but when someone asks and I have firsthand knowledge I pipe up. I know people who are going nuts looking for ammo.
and besides, I've bought four guns from remington, 3 of them have had problems, I';m sorry if I am vocal about their apparent (to me) lack of quality control. I know you love remington stuff man, but we;re not all doctors that can afford to wisk our firearms off to van-comp for a work-over
but anywho, yeah, I prolly am a little stressed out, more doctor problems (grrr).
