Not unless you get it for 350 or less, because post panic, that's what they're gonna sell for. Went over like a lead blimp.
Sorry to be negative, but the 45 gap is not a popular caliber. Its a solution to a problem that never existed. More expensive and less available than 45 acp, no benefits to the caliber, etc.

No. Difficult to find and expensive to shoot. Get a regular .45 or 9mm.
Only advantage at all is a smaller grip with a .45 bullet. Most grown men will not have that problem unless you are a small man with very small hands. Like previously mentioned, it was a solution to a problem that really never existed.
Ive never had a problem getting 45 gap ammo. Georgia Arms almost always has the range ammo, and its not any more expensive than 45 acp.
The G 37's are my most accurate glocks - fwiw.
If you compare, you'll see the ballistics of the Speer GDHP ammo are greater than the acp, per charts at this link.

This is the ammo the GA State Patrol uses.
Most shooters who denigrate the gaps haven't fired one - recommend you do this before deciding.
