So, What Do You Do

[jbcalhoun]

When you order 1000 rounds of 45ACP and it comes in and it all says 45GAP? Yep, checked the wrong box when ordering and as most of you know, ammo is non-returnable.

Well, after setting on this ammo for 6 months, I just went and bought a Glock in 45GAP!

I think this will become my "Glove Box" pistol so I don't beat up my 1911's in the car.

Good or bad, the decision was made.

sounds like a good idea to me

Could always rebarrel a 1911 in .45 GAP ... would imagine an aftermarket barrel maker could do that easily since it's the same dimension, just shorter.

I've been thinking about that. I don't know if they still offer it, but Springfield did offer a small 1911 compact in 45GAP. I've got a Norinco 1911.....and I've been thinking about a rebarrel project! Good call!

Find a model Smith Model 24, or similar revolver in 45 ACP. Have it cut for moonclips. Have a really good time shooting it in matches since the GAP will eject cleaner and reload faster.

Will that work? I remember reading that 45 gap was a higher pressure than 45 auto.

any excuse to aquire another gun, especially a glock is good with me. hmmmm, I wonder if I accidently "order the wrong ammo" if I could justify to my wife the immediate purchase of another gun?

 

[deputy]

i was thinking s&w 625..........gots to get one.....one of these years...........

Any decision to buy another gun is a good one.

 

[Al Swearengen®]

Good! Another one to add to the collection!

 

[jbcalhoun]

Actually, I'm going to shoot it up with the Glock 38 I bought. Took it to the range this morning and off-hand at 25 yards, it impressed me.

 

[ftw13]

eh,i woulda sold it or returned it.......stick with 45acp

 

[Texas Bulldog]

yup, just get the gun to match the ammo. Easy fix and you get ANOTHER gun

Glock .45 gap's are very very discounted right now!... saw a beautiful OD glock 45 gap at the gunshow today new for $325....

If i reloaded or thought the GAP wasn't going to fade away, i would have bought it.

I've bought guns to fill spare holsters. You're in good company.

 

[streakpi]

Hell the ammo must have cost $300 for 500 rds...the Glock 38 had to cost $450-$550....you have either a lot of money to burn or a great wife. I bought a Kel-Tex P3AT last week and my wife STILL won't let me live it down! Good job....

 

[jbcalhoun]

My wife loves to shoot as much as I do. We've been shooting for all of the 35 years of marriage. I took her to the gun range while we were dating and that hooked her on "our" hobby.

Wives are like kids, you have to train 'em early!

I like the idea of 45 gap, though I fear it isn't going to be as avalable in the future.

I agree.....thats the one Glock I avoided for fear of not being able to get ammo in the future.
