So I had a chance to chat with Ernest Durham

Designed of the .45GAP load with Speer. Heck of a nice fellow, very knowledgeable, competitive shooter.

In short, Glock sent the chamber specs to him and he developed the load for Speer. Smart thinking went into the design of the case as it is stronger and less prone to bulging.

Oh, Speer does have quite a bit of .45GAP available for distributors, like two million rounds or something like that. Wish I could drive to Lewiston and have them sell me a few cases.

Anyway, great to chat with the designer. Very approachable.

Wow, what a great opportunity for you. I would like to shake that man's hand, and thank him for the cartridge he created. What a stud.
