45 Gap
The .45 G.A.P. (often called the .45 GAP) pistol cartridge was designed by Ernest Durham, an engineer with CCI/Speer, at the request of firearms manufacturer Glock to provide a cartridge that would equal the power of the .45 ACP but was shorter to fit in a more compact handgun, and with a stronger case head to reduce the possibility of case neck blowouts. G.A.P. is an acronym for "Glock Automatic Pistol", and the .45 G.A.P. is the first commercially-introduced cartridge identified with Glock
That means it is a shorter version of the 45 Auto about the same performance and more expensive...if you can find it...

To add, the purpose of the shorter 45 GAP was so that Glock could make the frame of the 37 just a little bit smaller.
Make sure you can buy 45 GAP at your favorite store, and be willing to pay the price. (Hint, they make it, but you don't often see cheap "white box" 45 GAP in Canada)

Why do you want to buy .45GAP/G37 if you don't know much about it? 
If you already have a .45ACP, why bother with .45GAP?It's the same thing for more money, unless you reload; in which case it still wouldn't be less.
