I have always been interested in the .45 GAP cartridge and the full size Glock 37 duty pistol chambered in it. Something about the venerable .45 stopping power but in a comfortable standard size grip, or just the novelty of having something a little different.
For those who don’t know, the .45 GAP is essentially a shorter version of the .45 ACP made smaller to fit in a standard 9mm/40 grip frame. Case length is reduced but with modern powders and slightly increased pressures, the velocity and energy are virtually identical to .45 ACP.
The Glock 37 holds 10 rounds in the mag, and .45 GAP ammos is hovering at about $0.75 per round right now: https://ammoseek.com/ammo/45gap
Still, I WANT ONE. I can’t explain why, and maybe the uniqueness is just appealing. But it’s drawing me in.
Should I buy a Glock 37?
