Finally rectified a handgun mistake

[Mango]

Back when the Springfield XDs first came out in 45 gap, I thought "Here's a second manufacturer making a 45 gap, it's got to work out now!" And I bought one.

I was wrong. And today I finally replaced it. Traded it in on an M&P 45. The trigger is a little rough, but some quality time with my dremel will fix that soon enough.

Good for you. I think you will really like the M&P. Let us know how it works out for you.

Congrats on the M&P!

I've got an sw40ve that I've done trigger work on, so it shouldn't be too bad to polish and clean up. SW makes nice guns with good ergos, but the triggers are awful. I'd love to see a PPQ in 45, but that's a bridge too far.

Would a 1911 chambered in 45 gap be blasphemy?

Not sure. I lean more towards the 9mm 1911's being blasphemy.

Bought myself one back in '05...that was a big mistake.

As long as you did not buy an FN Barracuda.

Man, talk about mistakes!

A 1911 chambered in Glock Automatic Pistol would, indeed, be blasphemy since there is no benefit to the GAP over ACP that I can discern.

Look at the outside dimensions of any GAP pistol, and you'll find they're the same as the ACP variant. That said, finding GAP ammo is ... difficult at best.
