The OP may have not realized .45 GAP is a different cartridge? The GAP is a shorter round. As stated, .45 ACP should not be chambered in a pistol chambered for .45 GAP. It shouldn't even fit in unless the .45 were taper crimped into lead bullets down to the point the case mouth went into the throat. That would tend to raise pressure dangerously and be hard to extract and eject.
