Perhaps not the model with the browning emblem, but the Beretta 84's have done pretty well. I bought an Inox 84 FS for the wife and she adores it. IMO, it is an excellent purse gun for a woman. Small and light with 13+1 capacity. Of course, she now prefers the S&W 4506.
Is it possible that .45 GAP can achieve higher velocities from a 3" barrel, using lower pressures?
For one thing, in an auto, it will already have a 0.1" advantage in actual barrel length.
Second, with the modern powders, there's less empty space left over in the cartridge, right?
When the GAP was released, it was explicitly stated that the cartridge wouldn't function well with heavy bullet loadings. In fact, at the time of the release that limitation was intended to apply even to 230gr bullets. However the ammo manufacturers found a way to get the 230grainers to work well. I suspect that going heavier than that would be a problem.
