I think Glock thought they were coming up with the next .40S&W. Instead of a scaled down 10mm to fit in a 9mm sized gun, they were going to make a scaled down .45ACP to fit in a 9mm sized gun. One major difference was that unlike the .40S&W that gave up performance to the 10mm, the .45GAP actually equaled .45ACP performance.
The other major difference was that the FBI never embraced the .45ACP, so the bump that the .40S&W got from providing identical performance to the FBI 10mm loading never happened with the GAP.
On paper it probably looked like a great idea.
