45 GAP Ammo About The .45 GAP Ammo or .45 Glock Ammo was designed in 2003 specifically for pistols, and due to its success, it's still manufactured to this day. The .45 GAP Ammo was created to match the power of the .45 ACP Ammo, come in a stronger casing to reduce the chances of case neck blowouts, and be small in size to fit more compact handguns. The .45 GAP Ammo has the same diameter as the .45 ACP Ammo but is a little shorter and primarily uses a small pistol.

The lightest variant of the .45 GAP Ammo is a 185-grain bullet load that can travel at a velocity of 1,150 feet per second and creates an energy level of 543 ft. lbf. Manufacturer Ernest Durham designed the .45 GAP Ammo at the request of firearms manufacturer Glock and the first commercially introduced cartridge to identify with Glock. Uses Even though many law enforcement departments have moved away from the .45 Caliber Ammo, some still fall into the following of the .45 GAP Ammo because of its consistent performance.
