You kids are just silly.
Some hard facts for the haters.
You will never fit an ACP in a 9mm sized gun. When GAP is loaded to its SAAMI spec it hits real ACP +P speeds. S&B even has a 230 grain load at 940 fps because they do not down load it to ACP psi. DT GAP loads hit ACP +P speeds.
I have a little over 3,000 rounds down range from mine. ALL bought at stores in stock on the shelf. When the stock gets low the stocking fairy twinkles her nose and 2-5 boxes turns into a full shelf. A guy that works at the store I bought mine from asked where I get ammo for it. I turned and grabbed 2 boxes of GAP price waaaaaay over ACP prices by $1.00 a box. He works there looking at it every day, every day since the store opened (gotta look kids, its there).
With 34% less pressure the GAP launches a heavier bullet than the 40 FASTER. The 200s in 40 are even slower than the GAPs 975 to 1020 fps. 230s can be had upto 940fps. I even found some 260s, within SAAMI pressure limits at 1050fps.
Lets see here GLOCK sells less 10mm GLOCKs than GAP GLOCKs, He has never given up on that gun, even in the mid to late 90s when the G20 was the ONLY 10mm in town.
A 5'4" troopette can shoot a 12" LOP shotgun just fine, so can a 6'4" gorilla (getting it yet?) My short fingers can not get a proper grip AND place my finger proper at the same time on every ACP out there.
Police need to outfit every officer with a gun that all can shoot. Not issue guns for the gorillas and tell the others to deal with it. So now you have a 9mm size gun that shoots a 45.. BLASPHEMY you say. It is not an ACP, good lord already, get over it!!!!
Now keep in mind for this next part kids. The ACP has a 98 year head start so keep that in mind when you read this next part. Of the 11 state agencies that issue 45s, five of them are issued GAPs. that leaves the ACP with a dominating lead of one department. No worries though kids, the GAP is taking the numbers from 9mm and 40 cal guns.. phew...
Big whoop if a new caliber hit the streets. If your old timer hands cann't handle the newfangledness of a 45 that fits a 9mm size gun that shoots an original spec the JMB first designed his 45 to do, then don't.
I have bought (more than, I have a good stock) 3,000 rounds and fired them with only 100 rounds being bought online. That was when my wife bought me two boxes of HSTs for an overly way too high price of $27.00 for 50 rounds. Just unreal how much more it costs than ACP..
I say stop, drop and roll!! You are getting all fired up over nothing. It threatens not the ACP or you. Put that fire out, gather yourself and say, "cool and neat idea, good to see technology is catching up with the times" and keep shooting a lesser 40 or an equal ACP.
Not only do I have my cake, I eat it too. That $1.00 more a box price is worth it, or $60.00 more for 3,000 rounds. Why heck, if you cut just 30 Monsters from your diet that makes up for it. And from the responses here, some of you are drinking more than the daily doasge warned on the can.
I will leave you with a pic of my G37. They do not get like that from shooting ammo that is not being made and can not be found.
The GAP aint even hit a stable number yet. It keeps on going up and up and up. I can see the natives standing around that 4,000 year old tree in Australia when it was a bud. One says "it is just a sapling, it will die in this desert" another says, "it hasn't even grown up yet, how do you know this?"
Answer me the question of how you know the GAP is an answer to a question not asked when it is DOA is an answer to a question you guys have no clue how to answer.
