Keep track of this one Draybo and bring it back up in about, oh, 5 years, and remind us of the GAP being "here to stay".
You may have to explain to some noobies what the cartrige is, or was, as the case may be.
.357 Sig was a .357 Magnum in an autopistol, should be a sure winner.
Where'd it go?
Yet another "solution to a nonexistant problem".
It's mighty hard to market a "fix" to something that only a very tiny percentage of the market considers "broken".
There's a market for $1,000/pair ladies shoes too, a mighty SMALL market.
There's a market for gloves to come singly, not in "pairs", due to some loss of one appendage, why hasn't someone filled that niche?
Production and marketing too expensive to be carried by sales to far to few purchasers.
Glad you like the cartrige.
If you plan on keeping it for "the long haul", I suggest you save every piece of brass and find a set of reloading dies NOW, before they become custom set. (Lee has them currently, most people just use .45 Auto, so when you can't find GAP dies, you can use the ones I use.
I know people who own .357 Sig, who don't handload, who won't shoot it, because of the cost and availability (lack of) of ammo.
Starline brass, today, .357 Sig, $88/500. (Backordered expected availability: 07/31/2010 )
.45 GAP, $82/500, this part I find funny: "(Backordered expected availability: NEXT RUN WHEN SUFFICIENT BACKORDER ACHIEVED )"
.45 Auto, $78/500. (Backordered expected availability: 06/15/2010 )
Don't feel bad tho, the firearms world is full of "someone's good idea" that wasn't nearly as good, or nearly as desired, as someone thought it was.
.44 Automag, .45 Super, 9x23mm, About anything with "Detonics" attached to it, .41 Magnum was a good round, nobody wanted it, 460 Rowland, anything from "Wildey", I really think the 500S&W will wind up in this list before too long as well.
I think Beyowulf will be in the same "boat" before long too, far to "niche", far too many "proprietary" parts, far too few custom mod and feeding sources.
