Actually,
The Glock 37 in .45 GAP has identical ballistic performance when compared to the .45ACP. This test was done using Win. 230 JHP self defence ammo. Muzzle velocity, Foot pounds of energy, trajectory...every aspect of the two were identical. This test was performed by Guns and Ammo about 6 mo. ago.

Glock designed the GAP for people who wanted the performance of a .45ACP in a carry gun but wanted a smaller package to deliver it. The G-37's frame is the same size as the 9mm/.40 frames with a slightly wider slide to accomidate the larger bore.the casing of the GAP is re-enforced to withstand the slighty higher pressure generated from the shorter round. The round had to be shortened to get it to fit in the smaller frame.

As to Glocks in general...I own 4 of them. G-21, G-35, G-17 and a G-30. I would bet my life on them and I do regularly as carry the G-30 and the G-17 on a regular basis.
I use the G-21 and G-35 for competition in both USPSA and IDPA matches. I used to shoot a Para P-14 & 16 ltd. until I went to Glock.
Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny
I get superb accuracy out of all my Glocks but I did change to KKM barrels in the 21 and 35 so as to be able to shoot large volumes of lead bullets in matches, but the factory barrels are just as accurate with same point of impact as the KKM match barrels.
I shoot 2 to 3 matches a month and my Glocks dont burp, hiccup, jam, FTF or FTE. They run perfectly...right out of the box. I shoot in Limited Division against several 1911 type raceguns like STI, SV/Infinity, Para, Springfield, Caspians etc. It is a miricle if I can go a whole match and one of these hi-end guns doesnt jam or screw up but the glock keeps on tickin
You can spend alot on a quality .45....but why?
I just got a N.I.B. O.D. Green frame G-21 for $514 with 2/13 rnd mags. STI will run you $1695....Springfield/ $750 +....Para/$800 ...You get what I mean
Just check them out....With Glock, there is no need for any other guns...MY Para is in the safe gathering dust.
