Q: What is the difference between ACP and GAP ammo? Why is there a difference?
Posted On: 9/28/11 By: Jeff forst
A: .45 ACP or .45 Auto is a cartridge that dates back over 100 years and has been fired through many pistols, submachineguns, carbines, revolvers, and even rifles. Because of its size, pistols chambered for this cartridge often have large frames, which can be difficult for those with smaller hands to hold or fire .45 GAP (Glock Automatic Pistol) was created by the Glock pistol company in an effort to allow pistols with the frame dimensions of a 9mm or .40 caliber handgun to fire a .45" diameter projectile. Because of chambering differences, it is not safe to interchange .45 Auto and .45 GAP ammunition.

A: .45 ACP ammo is over 100 years old. It is a fairly large cartridge and requires a frame designed for its size. .45 GAP has been around for less than 10 years. It is designed to be shot from a 9mm/.40 S&W frame, so although the bullet diameter is still .45", the overall length is shorter than that of .45 ACP. The two are not interchangeable.
