| Anybody have a Glock 37, 38, or 39? What do you think of it (them)? I was just given 600 rounds of 45 GAP. |

I have fired it and its not bad. Ammo from what I have heard is expensive, and can be hard to come by also some people thought it would be like the 45acp I have heard it is not.
Agencies that use it Fulton Co school police, Georgia State Patrol, New York State police, that I know of. |

| same ballistics as .45ACP standard pressure-had a bunch of .45GAP hp including DPX left over when we closed the shop-was thinking about getting a small Glock .45GAP, but my son Mark took it to a postObama gun show and sold every round. |

I have a 38 and 39.
Shoots just like a .45 in a slightly smaller frame than the G30.
If your hands are smallish like mine, they fit fine.
I believe the loads are "warmer" than standard pressure .45ACP but less than +P .Due to the relatively small case, it can't be loaded any hotter. |

| Ok, I'm a newbie to the forum, but I thought I would chime in anyway. A couple of years ago I picked up a like-new 37 at my local range and began accumulating boxes of ammo from shops that couldn't move this "odd" caliber. The gun was extremely accurate and felt better in my hands than the 21, although capacity was less (10+1). I later acquired a 39 and a 38 from a dealer in Austin and find myself carrying the 39 on a regular basis. My preferred concealment holster for this gun is the Galco USA (Ultimate Second Amendment) 298. Now that 45ACP rounds have gone sky-high in price, the 45 GAP seems a lot more reasonable. Great source of ammo for me has been Natches Shooter Supply. |

| Sell the ammo. You'll be least half way to a decent .45 acp. |

| Good idea, but I already have a Colt Commander and a Glock 21. |
