I am also surprised KAHR or Ruger hasn't built anything around it. It is pretty tough to sell John Q a pistol he HAS to reload for.

They would, if there was ANY ammount of sales enough to make it a profitable venture.
Springfield made a pistol or 2 chambered for it, operative term MADE, no longer offered.
The ONLY source for handgun, is Glock.
The ONLY source for a carbine is, well, nobody.
Very few sources of ammo, adn what is there, is high-dollar.
Draybo, did you perchance start THIS thread over on thefiringline?

No real need to read it, it's 5 pages of the same thing here.
"Haters" noting the guns are all but unavailable, the ammo is all but unavailable, what IS available is costly.
The "lovers" claiming that all REAL shooters reload, so ammo availability is a non-issue (bull-crap), that it'd help the round if some other makers would just chamber guns in it (wishful thinking, Springfield did, for a while, apparently didn't sell enough to justify the production line), even one "loader" claiming 15-grains of powder goes in ACP's and he could make +P GAPs if he wished to cram 20 grains of something in them (Glockade is heavy in this one) to compete with .45 Auto +P's, etc, etc, etc.
GAP fans proclaiming all manner of love for their baby, while the detractors are looking at legitimate suply issues killing the weapon, and the cartrige, because nobody wants it, except the Glockade drinkers who want .45 GAP to survive.
Someone did an ammo search on ammoengine.com, came up with 18 loadings, BUT, only 7 manufacturers, all but one being Self-Defence loadings, only ONE "target/range" type loading, from Magtech.
An apropriate quote from the thread:
If you distill that down, there's 7 manufacturers there. Not that it matters all that much, but that's pretty small.
And it looks like you have mostly defensive loads and only one (Magtech) target load offering. Most of these are specialty ammo makers like Double Tap, Guardian, MagSafe and Corbon. Magtech is the only generic range ammo maker listed. There's no Winchester Whitebox, Remington, UMC, PMC, etc. listed.
Someone noted another corpse of a round, the .41 Action Express, dead, gone, try finding ammo to feed your D.E. in THAT.
Noted tho, again, .45 GAP actually had 2 manufacturers at it's height, .41 AE had Tanfoglio, Beretta, Jericho, Magnum Research and Taurus making the guns with conversion kits available for Colt, Glock and Browning pistols. That's 8, and it's dead and cold.
