I think any of them can order it for you. I'm up near Dallas, though, so I can't help you with the specifics.

michael e:

Why do you want .45 GAP? A poster on another thread opined
that .45 GAP is dying in popularity.

I don't know much about .45 GAP vs. its more common brother, the .45 ACP.

I don't know a whole lot myself, but from what I've read, it was designed to provide essentially the same terminal ballistics as the traditional .45 Auto, but fit into a smaller-frame pistol.

To the OP: I'd try Shooter's Station in Conroe, and the Pasadena Gun Center in Pasadena...both had fairly heavy Glock selections the last time I was in them.

From this post, you should be getting an idea as to the availability of .45 GAP {AMMO}, eh?

I have a Glock 39 in 45 Gap and it has never missed a feed. Can't say the same for a Glock 36 in 45 ACP. When ammo was short, you could find 45 GAP. Everytime this cartridge is brought up, you will get a negative feedback. Never fails for lack of nothing else to say. Try Bud's Gun Shop, they often run specials on Glock 37, 38, and 39's.
CDNN Sports recently did as well. The ammo will be around, Glock will see to that.

:iagree: On the recommendation to try Budsgunshop.com They sell them cheaper than any other Glock on the market...but gosh that ammo is pricey. It is a smaller cartridge but I don't think there is that much advantage to be had givin the availability of sooo many types of .45acp.

Have called almost every gun shop in houston. The few that tried to look about ordering couldnt find it either. As to why i want one. Well i have a thing for glocks. I understand the ammo ava issue. I reload so this isnt a factor to me. Found a member that is a ffl dealer hear that says he can get it so lets hope hes right.
