I am not a fan of Glocks and I have never shot a pistol chambered in .45gap, but if .45gap has the real world performance of a .45acp that many magazines claim with a shorter overall length, unless you really like to shoot +p.45acp, why all the hate?
I can't seem to understand why everyone hates .45gap when:
1) likely 95% of them have not even shot it before
2) it holds a distinct advantage over .45acp in that it can fit in more compact frame pistols
3) claimed to have same ballistics as .45acp
4) could be the be all/end all cartridge for CCW
The only 3 reasons I can think of to justify hating .45gap are:
1) ammo availibility, especially if it never catches on like .40 S&W has
2) you prefer to shoot +P.45acp ammo (I would guess that very few actually shoot +P in their .45's, although some do
3) tradition of the .45acp cartridge and the considered heresy of introducing a "newer", "better" .45 cartridge.
If .45gap catches on at the rate it has been, I don't see any reason why I should not make all my .45's chambered in GAP instead of ACP in the future. In a few years, .45gap should be almost as cheap if the not the same price, just as available, can fit in smaller frame pistols and will be just as easy to get as .45acp. GAP obviously needs further real world testing and experience to even be considered even close to the holy, but I see it happening in the next few years.
If you are in the least considering a .45 pistol for concealed carry, how would you ever denounce the .45gap? It seems to be illogical. Stuborness?
