Should I buy this at the gun show?

Question

This glock .45 gap or acp don't remember which one; it costs $489.

Answer 1

ya thats a good deal but if its a GAP dont get it because ammo is hard to get and that round might not be  around much longer

Answer 2

I am a big fan of the .45acp and do not care for the proprietary .45 gap because the only pistol that shoots it is the glock, the ammo is much more expensive and not many stores stock it. Whereas with .45acp, every store has a box or two. Also, if you are not well trained in using the glock pistols, I would recommend that you go with another brand. The springfield XD is very similar to the glock but in addition to the "safe action" trigger it has a grip safety, and the newer model also has a thumb safety. The trigger on the glock is not the safest choice, I have seen a lot of accidental shootings with them.

as for the price, it's about average.

shoot safe

Answer 3

Randy is right. There is no reason to buy the gap. Its a new cartridge that may soon die out and be impossible to get ammo for.

The .45ACP is a standard military caliber that is available almost anywhere in the world. Its also considerably cheaper than the .45gap ammo. It has been in constant production for over 100 years and is one of the most popular calibers on the planet.

To borrow a quote from Jeff Cooper, the .45gap is "a wonderful solution to a non-existant problem".

Answer 4

your not getting a deal on it... thats about normal price.. i have seen them for as low as 450..  if you want it get it. they are very nice.. ask him if he can do any better..

Answer 5

Good price. But I don't care to buy anything at these shows because you don't know what you're getting. If something goes wrong you're screwed dude. Buy it at a local store.
