No. The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) cartridge is longer the the .45 Glock Automatic Pistol (GAP) cartridge. Since they headspace on the MOUTH of the cartridge case, they cannot be interchanged.

Are 45 acp rounds the same as 45 rounds?

It depends. The term "45 rounds" can refer to any 45, and all 45s are not interchangeable. However, I would say that when people say 45, they usually mean 45 ACP.


Can you shoot 45 acp ammo in a Glock 37?

Nope. Matter of fact, you can't even load it. The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) cartridge is longer than the .45 Glock Automatic Pistol cartridge (GAP). And the model 37 IS in .45 GAP. Both rounds headspace off the case MOUTH- the .45 ACP is too long for the slide to go into battery (close the action). And, with the exception of some revolvers, you cannot shoot .45 GAP in an .45 ACP firearm.


Can you shoot 45 GAP rounds out of a 45 ACP XD pistol?

It may be possible to get the GAP round to fire from the gun, but it is not a good idea. The two cartridges are not interchangeable, and trying to do that may cause a malfunction or it may damage the gun.

What is the difference between acp and gap?

The .45 GAP is a shorter cartridge than the .45 ACP. Developed for the Glock Automatic Pistol (that's the GAP) it does not interchange with the .45 Colt Automatic Pistol (ACP). Made for a smaller firearm, shorter action, etc.


Can you shoot 45 auto and 45 ACP?

ACP means Automatic Colt Pistol. .45 ACP and .45 Auto are the same cartridge. .45 Colt and .45 Auto Rim are a revolver cartridge. .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) is a shorter round than the ACP, and does not interchange with it.

Is it safe to shoot a 45 gap round in a gun made for 45acp?

No. The GAP will not headspace properly in an ACP chamber which may result in a failure to fire. The higher operating pressures of the GAP may exceed the limits of some ACP platforms.


Can ammo that does not say acp be used in a hand gun that says acp n gun?

Yes- IF IT IS THE CORECT CARTRIDGE. .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) may also be known as .45 Auto. It is NOT the same cartridge as .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) or .45 Colt (revolver cartridge).


Can you shoot any 45 auto in your 45 acp pistol?

No. The 45 ACP (which means 45 Auto) cannot use the .45 GAP or the .45 Magnum.


IS 45 ACP a good personal defence weapon?

Choosing the best weapon for self defense is a matter of personal preference. The .45 ACP is generally considered a very good defense weapon. There are very few handguns that shoot a larger projectile, but bullet size is a trade off with capacity (how many rounds a pistol can hold). Typically, a .45 ACP pistol holds 7-8 rounds, compared to a 9mm's 14 rounds or more. If one is expecting to be in a prolonged gun fight, one might prefer having more rounds.
