Details
The 45 GAP (Glock Automatic Pistol) cartridge was designed to provide a round with the same power as the 45 ACP, but with a shorter length so it would fit in a more compact handgun as well as with a stronger case head to reduce the risk of a blowout. It is now employed by three state law enforcement agencies, and is also popular with some concealed carry enthusiasts.
This cartridge is produced by Speer Gold Dot, and as such its 185 grain hollow point bullet possesses a jacket electrochemically bonded to its alloyed lead core. This facilitates with penetration, and also promotes weight retention while the hollow point mushrooms within a target. This round’s brass casing is nickel plated to ensure smooth feeding and ejection, and along with its reliable CCI primer and clean burning propellant makes for a optimal cartridge for personal protection.
