Nice, it's good to see the GAP actually lives up to it's billing as matching acp. How is the recoil relative to acp? I'd imagine it being negligibly more, with the gun weighing slightly less, but if the grip fits your hand better, then all the better.
Out of curiousity, where did you find ammo? I've never seen it on shelves, even in Fargo or Grand Forks.

Recoil is slightly less than a .45ACP with same weight bullets. I like the .45GAP, small pistol primers so I can load 9mm, .40S&W and .45GAP all at the same time without having to change my Dillon over to large primers. I am a big guy with big hands. I like the same frame shape as the G17 and G22 as well. Ballistics live up to their billing. Its a nice round. My hands actually fit a G21SF perfect, still maybe a bit small but I prefer the grip on the G21SF.

Ammo was bought at P&D Enterprises (ask for Chris) and Ellwood Epps has always had good JHP in all calibres. Both are site sponsers.

Cheers.
