So I have been doing some homework via Glock's site, Wikipedia, other places on this gun. I'm still confused. I searched the forum and there hasn't been a thread on this gun in 18 months.
I understand it's the "Compact" frame, aka sized as the 19, 23, etc (had a 23 in the past, understand). I understand the 45 GAP is a simply a shorter round designed to replicate the .45 performance.
Questions:
1) Does Glock not make a 19/23 sized gun in straight out .45acp?
2) If so, what's the use of the GAP? Does it have reliability issues because of the longer .45acp in the standard Glock frame?
3) Do Glocks in .45acp have issues, or do they have different frames to accommodate the round and thus make them a odd birds?
4) Glocks numbering system is, if it could be possible, perhaps MORE confusing that S&W's. I actually understand theirs.
Additionally, I ask this because someone offered a like-new 38, in OD green (is that a factory option or mean it was sprayed? I haven't asked yet) as trade/partial trade. I'm interested, but just want to understand fully what I'm getting into. So also, if you have opinions on what this would be worth should I want to sell it because I don't like it, I'd like to hear that, too. Supposed to be low round, mint, OD green.
