Has anyone fired .45 GAP ammunition from a revolver that is chambered for .45 ACP? I've never thought to do it with my Smith & Wesson 625 but, logically, it ought to be possible. As I understand it the only difference between the GAP and the ACP round is casing length. Diameters are the same, yes? And the GAP should fit into moonclips that are designed for .45 ACPs, shouldn't they?
So, can it be done? And, the follow up question is: should one do it? Are pressures significantly different between the GAP and ACP rounds? Is there a risk of damaging chambers or barrels firing GAP from a .45 ACP revolver? And, finally, how about accuracy?
