.45 GAP was created to offer a .45 caliber option in 9/40 sized frames. Specifically Glock 9/40 sized frames because Gaston's other .45 caliber offering shared it's frame with the 10MM cartridge and had the ergonomics of a brick. Gaston didn't want to do the right thing and correct the wasteful design of the Glock magazine and frame to produce a gun identical to the 9/40 frame with a ten round capacity.

Springfield Armory thought they could cash in on the new concept. They build guns to sell and they saw an opportunity to sell. I wonder what other caliber fits the .45 GAP EMP frame and the .45 GAP XD frame.

The 1/8th of an inch OAL is nothing from an ergonomics perspective. It's everything from a manufacturing and engineering perspective.
