Thanks for the input guys, I was actually a little turned on by the cartridge since I don't have a weapon of that caliber and the price got my attention also. I'm not so concerned over the price of the GAP ammo since I have a buddy and a father who both reload (I have the best of both worlds, I buy the primers, powder, and bullets and they reload them for me!). I don't really know what I'm going to do with it, I shoot a lot of PPC and now small bore silhouette; AND I just got a W.O.P upper for my AR to shoot service rifle this summer. So when I'm shooting it's normally a match gun. I guess I've turned into a sort of collector. I do think I could easily sell the gun to a number of people I know, take the money and get the same gun in 40 S&W (I still can't believe I don't have a full size 40 after all this time). After reading about the GAP it seem like its a short ACP that does about the same thing for more money as many of you have indicated. I'm a bigger guy so the size of a frame is usually to small, if anything, and that seems to have been the motivation for the GAP. But I'm happy to hear all the positive comments about the XD's--Thanks again
