Not a dumb question! There is a big difference between the GAP and the ACP. It's shorter with higher pressures. Here is some good info on the 45 GAP. .45 GAP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to mention the sticker price of around $10 a box. It's getting very difficult to find .45 G.A.P. ammo here in PRHI.

GAP was a dead issue within a year after it cameout. Unless you are a "caliber collector", forget it!
