Exclamation XD 45 G.A.P. Any info?

I was offered a Xd in 45 GAP for $300. The guy bought it new 2 years ago and bought 2 boxes of ammo for it. He still has one of the boxes of ammo and it comes with it. It also comes with 2 mags and a holster with original box. I'm pretty sure it's a heck of a deal but I know nothing about the 45 GAP round. So any info about the XD chambered for this round or the round itself is appreciated. Thanks

I believe the GAP to be on the shortlist for caliber life. I think if the police had gone with the GAP instead of the .40 it may have stood a chance. But as is, I do not see it gaining in popularity and becoming a common use caliber.

Just an opinion of course, someone else may have evidence to the contrary, but I doubt it.

An item to consider then is current and future ammo prices. I am a little out of the loop, but I believe the GAP is pricey compared to the ACP. I do not see the GAP ammo getting cheaper either. This makes it difficult to justify as a shooter in my book.

You might see if he will come down to $250 on the price, but I would personally have to think hard about paying even that for a like new .45 GAP.

Nice Article by the way Tejano
