Two of the popular cartridges are .45 ACP or .45 GAP, and beginners usually want to know which cartridge is to be used, especially at the initial training process.

The GAP cartridge, which is of a thinner grip implies more expensive ammunition, and it's not easily available. The .45 ACP (that is Automatic colt pistol) was devised by an expert firearms designer, John Browning, and it's designed to use a larger pistol primer. The .45 GAP uses a shorter pistol primer, the cartridge is also smaller when compared to ACP, and they cannot be interchangeably used.
