No. The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) cartridge is longer the the .45 Glock Automatic Pistol (GAP) cartridge. Since they headspace on the MOUTH of the cartridge case, they cannot be interchanged.
Nope. Matter of fact, you can't even load it. The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) cartridge is longer than the .45 Glock Automatic Pistol cartridge (GAP). And the model 37 IS in .45 GAP. Both rounds headspace off the case MOUTH- the .45 ACP is too long for the slide to go into battery (close the action). And, with the exception of some revolvers, you cannot shoot .45 GAP in an .45 ACP firearm.
No. The 45 ACP (which means 45 Auto) cannot use the .45 GAP or the .45 Magnum.
You can fire a .45 ACP cartridge through a .45 ACP pistol - and only a .45 ACP pistol. The various .45 cartridges (.45 ACP, .45 Long Colt, .45 GAP, etc.) are not interchangeable with each other.
ACP means Automatic Colt Pistol. .45 ACP and .45 Auto are the same cartridge. .45 Colt and .45 Auto Rim are a revolver cartridge. .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) is a shorter round than the ACP, and does not interchange with it.
The .45 GAP is a shorter cartridge than the .45 ACP. Developed for the Glock Automatic Pistol (that's the GAP) it does not interchange with the .45 Colt Automatic Pistol (ACP). Made for a smaller firearm, shorter action, etc.
The Glock pistol in caliber .45 GAP.
No. The GAP will not headspace properly in an ACP chamber which may result in a failure to fire. The higher operating pressures of the GAP may exceed the limits of some ACP platforms.
Answer The Colt .45 caliber automatic pistol was accepted as the standard side arm of the US Army and became identified as the Model 1911 Pistol. The bullet developed for use in this new design of automatic pistol was called the .45 ACP or the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge. It stands for "Automatic Colt Pistol" because it was adopted for the Colt 1911 only by the US army.You get many variants the most prolific being the .45 GAP for glock handguns.It's patented I believe.
Yes- IF IT IS THE CORECT CARTRIDGE. .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) may also be known as .45 Auto. It is NOT the same cartridge as .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) or .45 Colt (revolver cartridge).
Glock pistols are made in a variety of calibers. Currently available in .380 ACP, 9mm Luger, .357 Sig, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP and .45 GAP.
"GAP" when referring to Glock refers to a caliber. A few years ago, Glock designed the .45 GAP (which stands for "Glock Auto Pistol" as a way to get a .45 caliber cartridge in a smaller frame gun. It was a failure. There is nothing wrong with the cartridge, but it just doesn't do much the .45 ACP won't do.
