45 GAP ammo versus 45 ACP for 1911 Range Officer Operator

[k2m3mull]

It has been impossible to get ammo. Today I could see I could get 1,000 rounds of 45 GAP. I have only ever shot .45 ACP in my 1911 RO Operator. Can 45 GAP be used in the 1911 Range Officer 1911? Thanks in advance!

No.

The only weapon chambered in .45ACP that can also use .45 GAP would be a moon-clipped .45 ACP revolver like a S&W 625.

Agree with Han‘s.

And I agree with you both-I can't say I have actually ever seen anything chambered in .45 GAP other than Glock.

Thank you all for the responses. Now I know why I can get 1000 rounds of 45 GAP at a pretty decent price. 45 ACP pricing like everything else, has gone through the roof and is very hard to get. I appreciate all of your feedback.

Springfield is the only other company I know of that released a .45GAP pistol—the first XD45 was in .45GAP, built on the same frame as the the XD9 & .40...8 shot.

It was discontinued long ago, and it’s a fairly rare model. Came in full-size (Duty) both 4” and 5” (XD45LE) barrels, but no compact.
