[spacelegged]

is there a diffence? im cruising galleryofguns and it keeps showing 45 AP.. is that the same caliber or slightly different?

Do you need to buy a "G"?

Ah yes, the .45 GAP. The round that nobody asked for.

Ah yes, the .45 GAP. The round that nobody asked for.

But if it's made by Glock it has to be Perfect, right?


Should have been in Purple.....

Perfectly good for going kaboooooom!

Higher operating pressures, lower weight standard bullet (200gn vs 230gn), rim the size of a .40 S&W's, designed to capitalize on the magic "45" number.

As far as I'm concerned, there's no advantage over the 9mm - and it was designed around fitting into a gun that size.

Skip 'em both. Jump over to a 45 LC!

To answer the OPs question, on Gallery of guns, they simply abbreviate "ACP" as "AP." They are the same. I assume the AP means auto pistol.

It's got nothing to do with the .45 GAP, a round which is a testiment to Gaston's considerable ego, and a reality check as to just how far into the shooting world a household appliance maker should delve.
