I been looking for a 45 and came across this
This like a G21?

***RAGE*** · 03-20-2010, 06:23 PM

there are some good deals and that looks like one

**Ernst** · 03-20-2010, 06:54 PM

Quite a deal. I'd buy it. Not really like a G21 other than the .45 projectile. The frame and ammo are completely different. The 45GAP cartridge was an attempt by Glock to put .45 ballistics in the grip envelope of a 9mm.

It's cheaper because it is .45 GAP, and not .45 ACP, which is the traditional .45 round. The GAP stands for Glock Automatic Pistol, and the ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol, the company who designed the original .45 cartridge and by which most other companys make guns and ammunition for. You will have difficulty finding cheaper ammunition for the GAP cartridges simply because of scarcity.

Right...But which they solved with the Glock 36 Slim Frame.

Yeah, by using a single stack mag... No one had ever thought of that before

I should have been more specific. The capacity of a double stack .45 mag with the grip envelope of a nine.

so is the GAP still a 45 round, i cant use acp in there?

**Ernst** · 03-20-2010, 07:33 PM

.45GAP and .45ACP are not interchangeable.

**RANA** · 03-20-2010, 08:35 PM

Are most glocks that inexpensive there? I dont feel like registering with them and I might get a 27 .40 cal

Lol, well I didn't say it was a great solution. But for someone who doesn't want such limited ammo choices with the .45 GAP cartridge, I think it's a better alternative.
