.45 GAP. Would you? Login/Join

If they sold it at every WallyWorld and it was cheap, yes i would. I had a g37 once, nice gun, but i traded it for a g21. Ammo was tough to find. I thought about buying a 37 to use strictly for dry firing, but only because the guns are about the cheapest glock i can find right now.

The short answer is no.

I played with it about 10 years ago, just before the ammo began to slip into obscurity. It could still be had at the big box stores.

I had a Glock 38. It was reliable as a Glock is expected to be. But the performance of the ammo was no more stunning or exciting than a .40 or .45.

In other words, steel plates and poppers fall just as well with a forty, and the forty is now not that much more than nine, and there is plenty around.

The GAP slipped into unavailable status during the ammo shortage of 2013, and it has not come back.

I still see new Glock 37 pistols in stores that stock a complete line of Glock products.

It is now for the collector who wants anything and everything Glock.

No. That cartridge failed the test of time.

We had a healthy batch of 45GAP ammo during the aftermath of Sandy Hook. Actually it was already in our inventory before The Panic; why I don't know. No one back then would fess up to buying it into the shop.

Like before the craziness, almost none of it sold because our regular customer base didn't own anything that shot the stuff. We've never carried the Glocks in that caliber and outside of one or two off-the-street customers who mentioned they owned one of the GAP guns we just never had any interest in the stuff. What ammo we had we ultimately moved most of it off about a year ago to another dealer, selling it at a loss. The owner kept a few boxes, just in case.

But I'm betting that they'll turn to dust before they'll actually sell.

Unless you're into niche and unusual stuff, there's just no purpose for .45GAP.

Nope. And hell nope. I do not require yet another bastard, orphaned, piece of ordnance. There are to many other options that can take it's place.

I went as far as .50AE, but that is my limit.

.45 ACP!

Absolutely no reason for the .45 GAP, accept to massage Gaston's ego.

Nope no way on the 45GAP. After going through all of the service pistol calibers over the years I'm all 9mm now with maybe a .45ACP eventually for sentimentality.
