 .45 GAP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The.45 GAP is based on the.45 ACP pistol cartridge, but is shorter--the same overall length as a 9 mm Luger or.40 SandW and uses a small-pistol primer like the 9mm Luger instead of a large-pistol primer like the.45 ACP.
They theorize that the potency of the.45 GAP is an attempt to avoid derogatory comparisons between the.45 ACP and the.45 GAP, as was experienced when the.40 SandW was introduced as a reduced power replacement for the 10 mm Auto.
The.45 GAP would also have a market advantage in countries like Mexico, where civilian possession of ammunition and firearms in government chamberings is illegal.

 Gap Filler Detail - 1959 - National Archives of Canada
The 45 gap fillers in the Pinetree chain presently included in the CADIN program were sited on the basis of a low level coverage down to 2000 feet.
If for any reasons the Canadian responsibilities for the 45 gap filler program cannot be discharged within approved funds, the number of gap fillers should be reduced, bearing in mind that the original 2000 ft coverage can now be provided by approximately 31 gap fillers.
This was, therefore, the coverage involved when we agreed to the 45 gap fillers.

 GAP System for Computational Discrete Algebra
GAP provides a programming language, a library of thousands of functions implementing algebraic algorithms written in the GAP language as well as large data libraries of algebraic objects.
GAP is used in research and teaching for studying groups and their representations, rings, vector spaces, algebras, combinatorial structures, and more.
At present (March 2005) the GAP Centers in Aachen, Braunschweig, Fort Collins and St Andrews have agreed to coordinate jointly the further development and maintenance of GAP.

 Review: New .45 GAP Cartridge for 9mm/40 S&W Pistol Frames
The low pressure 45 GAP cartridge uses “superior” case support and was created with the exact same bullet size as the.45 ACP to be fired in a 9mm/.40SandW sized pistol, or a larger framed pistol if so desired.
Originally,.45 GAP ammo was announced using a large pistol primer and we were told that the.45 GAP caliber could only use 185 and 200 grain bullets (not 230 grain bullets).
And the GAP case uses a small pistol primer, which puts distance between the primer and breech/action elements in 9mm frame pistols-- see cut-out comparison of the.45 G.A.P. and the.45 Auto/ACP cases for an excellent visual difference of these two cases.

 Welcome to Tactical Response
Robert Glock, now head of U.S. operations, changed the name to 45 GAP to induce other pistol manufacturers to chamber the cartridge in their pistols, without having to put the name of a competitor on their pistols.
Hirtenberger 45 HP The.45 GAP is not the same cartridge as the Hirtenberger.45 HP, even if the cartridge case length and cartridge diameter are identical.
The.45 GAP uses a slightly rebated rim case, meaning the extractor rim has a slightly smaller diameter than the outside diameter of the case.

 SURE SHOT: The Glock 37 and the .45 GAP
Being 3-mm shorter than the case of the.45 ACP, that of the.45 GAP is otherwise identical on the outside except for two things: It uses a small pistol primer instead of a large one, and it is a rebated rimless case.
Being a well kept secret during its development, the resulting cartridge was first advertised as the.45 Glock, but was replaced by ".45 GAP." The reason for this was that the.45 Glock round used a large pistol primer that reportedly caused over-ignition and excessive pressure.
The.45 GAP uses a small pistol primer and while it also generates higher pressures, it is well within specification.

There are already a number of commercial loads available in.45 GAP, further attesting to the fact that manufacturers, at least, are looking at a bright future for the round.
Loaded to.45 +P standards, with a SAAMI spec of 25,000 psi, it's obvious that the GAP is going to be a more than adequate defense cartridge.

 The Glock 37 .45 GAP
Now, in the early fall of 2003, the Glock 37.45 GAP is finally here, and a handsome pistol it is. As this is written, I've now run 500 rounds each of Speer's 200-grain FMJs and 185-grain JHPs through it without a hitch.
Built on the same frame as the famous Glock 17 and Glock 22, the new Glock 37 in.45 GAP is tough, accurate, highly user-friendly and possesses equal stopping power to the M1911.45 ACP.
However, I was advised that it was to be chambered for a new.45 cartridge, to be called the.45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) and not the ubiquitous.45 ACP.

 IFAP - Dear Colleague Letter
Specifically, some lenders and guaranty agencies may believe that the 45-day gap rule does not apply to the period between the issuance of the final demand letter required by 34 CFR 682.411(f) and the previous required collection activity.
At no point during the periods specified in paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) of this section may the lender permit the occurrence of a gap in collection activity, as defined in paragraph (j) of this section, of more than 45 days (60 days in the case of a transfer).
Summary: This letter reminds FFELP lenders and guaranty agencies of the regulatory requirement that a lender may not permit a gap of more than 45 days between certain required collection activities, including the final demand letter.

 The AnarchAngel: What about .45 GAP?
The immediate tradeoff of the GAP is of course you lose a round in capacity to the.40; and that's if your slide has enough clearance, and enough strength with the thinner metal over the sides that it would necessitate.
The problem is the case head dimensions on the GAP are still too large to feed in a standard BHP breech face.
The only advantage the GAP has over the.357 is bullet weight and diameter.

 The Gun Zone -- .45 G.A.P. Cartridge
And, O yeah!, it was to be named the "45 Glock" even though there were already three pistols in their product line which were commonly referred to as a ".45 Glock," being the Models 21, 30 and 36, all chambered for the venerable.45 ACP.
Another erratum is that the.45 G.A.P. is not.100-inch shorter than the.45 ACP, but.138-inch shorter, has thicker brass (see cross-section), a small primer pocket and a.308 style extractor cut.
.45 G.A.P. pressure is SAAMI-established at a maximum of 23,000 psi, but was tested up to 35,000 psi.

 Inside the .45 GAP
The.45 GAP is emphatically not a cut-down, or shortened,.45 ACP case.
The GAP rim is slightly rebated compared to the.45 Auto, and the extraction cannelure width is optimized to case length and web profile, resulting in a 10-degree difference in the lead-in angle.
To achieve this parity, the.45 GAP is loaded to the same maximum average pressure as the.45 Auto +P: 23,000 psi.

Since the.45 GAP can match standard.45 ACP ballistics with 185-grain bullets (and come close with the 200 grainers), it's plenty potent for self-defense work and offers an alternative for some of the various practical pistol competitions.
The.45 GAP uses small pistol primers, and the.45 ACP uses the large pistol primers.
However, the.45 GAP is loaded to a higher working pressure than the "standard".45 ACP.

Frankly, since the.45 GAP brass is so strong, I'd like to see Glock make barrels that have even more exposed brass in the magic 6 o'clock position of the chamber opening so the cartridge can almost feed sideways.
Instead, Glock is still using unsupported chambers and is relying on the thick web of the.45 GAP case to prevent rupture.
The design of the.45 G.A.P. cartridge case was done from the ground up, so to speak, by a savvy young ATK engineer who knew exactly for whom and what he was designing the round.

 1740 Fall 1999 - Women in the Labor Market
Characteristics explain about two fifths of the gap (essentially all due to experience and occupation), with about three fifths of the gap due to "discrimination." This means that discrimination alone would have caused a gap of about 21% (three fifths of 35%) between men's and women's pay in 1988.
Characteristics which might explain female-male gap: average male has 3 times the total work experience of the average woman (about 15 years vs. 5), 3 times the years spent in current occupation (10+ yrs to 3+), and 1.5 times the time spent in current occupation with current firm (4 to 2.5).
Some of the pay gap between men and women reflects differences between them that might be related to productivity - like differences in experience.

 HS2000/XDTalk Forum :: View topic - XD .45 GAP Service Model
As somewhere stated earlier on the forum, there is a claim that "...the shorter overall cartridge length of the 45 GAP allows it to be chambered in the exact same Springfield Armory XD frame used for 9mm and 40 SandW pistols." Also, the ad claims the GAP has the exact same ballistics as the ACP.
I meant that you would probably be able to get a 9mm or.40 conversion barrel for the new 45 GAP XD when it finally makes it to market.
2.The 45ACP has such a die-hard following that even if the GAP had the ballistics of a.308 the ACPers would still claim it to be inferior.

 Defense Review - Springfield Armory XD .45 GAP Pistols: Serious Defensive Plastic for Serious Use
The.45 GAP is also easy to handle, as I initially found out at SWAT Round-Up International 2003, when I put a Glock 37 (G37) through it's paces at the Orange County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) range (Orlando, FL).
Because the.45 GAP cartridge is shorter, it can be housed in and fired from a 9mm/.40 SandW-sized pistol, giving the shooter true.45 ACP performance from a more compact, thinner, and lighter pistol that can be carried more easily on the hip.
With the introduction of the Springfield Armory X-TREME (XD).45 GAP pistols in 4-inch and 5-inch-barreled versions, it would appear that the.45 GAP cartridge is going to have some real staying power.
