Glock 37

[Newbomb92]

I can pick up a Glock 37 (45 GAP) for $350 LNIB with Night Sights. Is that a good enough deal to hassle with finding GAP ammo? Will GAP ammo be around for a long time?

Thanks

Absolutely! If you reload, it uses the same dies as the .45 ACP and it is an excellent shooting gun. If you don't like it, I'll buy it from you for what you pay for it.

Most of the feedback I have come across are positive, also people that tryed it said that prefer it to the .40. If I had a little more money to spend on ammo I would own a GAP.

GAP is growing in popularity.

Not among us civilians, but it's growing among PD's, or so I read in Shooting Times.

Even if you reload, starline brass runs about $4.00 more per 100 than the ACP does.... And that is assuming they have it in stock.

I second John Galt: If you handload, it is a great round.

A nice, compact G19 sized double stack .45 (Glock 38 or even 39) that my hands can actually fit around comfortably and securely for offhand and one hand shooting? Sign me up. My hands are smaller, could not easily shoot a G30 single handed without constantly readjusting me hand. The G36 allowed me to do so, but I was not impressed with the gun's capacity. Never know when I have to shoot with one hand.

For a carry gun, it's a great idea and concept. Ammo availability is an issue, but handload! Plus, things get really bad, there is a plethora of .451 defensive component bullets available, start making your own defensive ammo. Heck, get really desparete, start pulling PDX1 230gr JHP .45 Auto bullets and tip your GAP!

(wishes I had $350 in my pocket, plus gas to go to NW Indiana )

I think it is a terrible idea. terrible.

it all sounds interesting...have thought about it for a long time...just can't get use to low round count in 37..38..39, now that there is the G21 SF....

Yeah, you see the Glock in 45 GAP all over the place and they're nearly giving them away. The prices are very fair. If you're handloading go for it. I personally haven't seen a lot of 45 GAP on the market, compared to the ability to find 9mm, 45 acp, 40, etc, etc.
