View Full Version : Double Tap is going to make the GAP sgalbra76 08-16-2005, 16:53 I just got word from McNett that they plan on having .45 GAP loads available by October 1st. ;f Morris 08-17-2005, 00:58 Excellent! BigTex171 08-17-2005, 10:17 Originally posted by sgalbra76 I just got word from McNett that they plan on having .45 GAP loads available by October 1st. ;f Awesome! I'm glad you posted this, because I was planning on writing him an email asking him about the GAP loads. This is great news! sgalbra76 08-17-2005, 13:05 He says he's going to be working on the loads next week, so there's no ballistics data available yet. MPG1737 08-17-2005, 13:08 This will be interesting! Glock2336 08-17-2005, 16:11 I was told the same thing months ago ;) Now it's coming soon... This is great news that it's reality :) SDGlock23 08-18-2005, 23:49 That will in fact be interesting, I've been eyeing the GAP for sometime now and I'd like to see what Mike can do with it. MPG1737 08-19-2005, 07:42 I can't wait to see some numbers! ;b sgalbra76 08-22-2005, 21:39 I also can't wait to see what Power Strike does with the .45 GAP: http://www.powerstrikeammo.com/ obxemt 08-27-2005, 18:31 I'll take a case. Thanks, Mike. ;) j doty 09-02-2005, 11:21 Dang, now I know I'm gonna have to get a G38! I like his .357 SIG loads in my G32 and SIG 229.:cool: JoeSnuffy 09-17-2005, 07:40 It was only a matter of time... Now if Mike would only crank out some 50 Beowulf or 458 SOCOM :cool: obxemt 10-03-2005, 19:26 Originally posted by sgalbra76 I just got word from McNett that they plan on having .45 GAP loads available by October 1st. Where is it!!! I just checked the website, and it is not yet listed! ;1 gary newport 10-03-2005, 19:46 Actually, I'm more interested in when the Federal HST GAP loads will be available! :cool: BigTex171 10-24-2005, 10:11 I PMed McNett asking when this would be available, and he hasn't responded. Has anyone here heard anything yet on this? obxemt 10-24-2005, 16:03 Yeah, he e-mailed me back a couple weeks ago and said it would be a couple months due to staffing issues and a move to a new facility. BigTex171 10-24-2005, 16:13 Originally posted by obxemt Yeah, he e-mailed me back a couple weeks ago and said it would be a couple months due to staffing issues and a move to a new facility. He just responded to my PM and said sometime in November, so I guess we don't have too much longer! SDGlock23 12-09-2005, 14:09 Any word yet, I'm curious about these!! TNRonin 12-22-2005, 23:34 watching this thread.... PanamaDave2 01-03-2006, 01:49 Originally posted by Photocop By the way, I shot an e-mail to M.McNett asking about 45 GAP ammo. He said that their goal is to have the stuff out for the SHOT show in February. Saw this in general glocking... Alphaman 06-09-2006, 18:06 Any word yet? sgalbra76 06-09-2006, 23:46 Originally posted by Alphaman Any word yet? Nope SDGlock23 06-10-2006, 01:04 I think he said June 15th.... 10millyman 06-12-2006, 21:01 I wonder what the 230grainers will be like:alien: gary newport 06-13-2006, 14:39 Originally posted by 10millyman I wonder what the 230grainers will be like:alien: Overpriced? :supergrin: Pete7 06-13-2006, 16:11 Well it's only two days till June 15th. When someone said "HE" said June 15th, did you mean Mike McNett said June 15th? I am looking forward to a doubletap 45GAP in any case. wizzi01 06-13-2006, 17:35 When Mike left that message for the memorial day weekend sale. Someone asked when gap was coming out and he specifically said it should be out june 15th. maverick-tx 06-15-2006, 19:31 Please hurry so I can take over the world with my 8+1 .45 pistola. MadMax2012 07-06-2006, 00:26 Well!!... I would love to see a load from Double Tap but we are past June 15th by a ways now and no word or news from their website. A good load from them (read: 230gr FMJ at 950fps) would make the Glock 37 alot more versatile. Hope it wasn't just "errornet" rumor. Alphaman 07-06-2006, 08:47 June 15th 2007? Sgt Glockman 07-06-2006, 15:13 Like the rest of you I keep waiting for Double Tap to offer the .45 GAP. I keep reading that Mike is going to offer it soon, I check weekly on his web site but nothing yet. So today I sent him and inquiry asking was it just rumor or was he going to load the .45GAP? Here is his answer; Frank, We will be offering .45 GAP soon! Mike McNett President DoubleTap Ammunition 1-866-357-10mm www.doubletapammo.com So it won't be long now, I'm sure it will be worth the wait!

The last 2 emails I sent him months ago still have not been replied to... I was wondering if there was anyone out there on the other side of his computer :freak:. I gave up on sending him emails...waste of my time. MadMax2012 07-06-2006, 19:12 As long as a load is in the works I don't care who they replied to. Just gimme gimme gimme.... (I'm so American!:supergrin: ) Pete7 07-09-2006, 11:14 Thats good news indeed! sgalbra76 07-14-2006, 09:42 *sigh* *taps fingers on table* MadMax2012 07-14-2006, 18:54 *Girl from Ipanema* elevator music playing in the background... gary newport 07-14-2006, 20:39 (Happily contemplating my Federal HST .45 GAP 230 grain hollowpoints: :tongueout: ) Alphaman 07-14-2006, 20:46 Originally posted by gary newport (Happily contemplating my Federal HST .45 GAP 230 grain hollowpoints: :tongueout: ) Is it just me or is it impossible to get the .45GAP HST right now? gary newport 07-14-2006, 20:48 Originally posted by Alphaman Is it just me or is it impossible to get the .45GAP HST right now? Not impossible, but Streicher's Police Equipment (best prices I know of on HST) is often back-ordered 2-4 weeks on .45 GAP HST. If you order it, it will come...eventually.

Hi, guys. Has anyone gotten any numbers, at least? I think someone posted that they were working with different loads, etc., already. Thanks. Alphaman 07-17-2006, 00:46 Originally posted by hogfish So, no news yet? Hi, guys. Has anyone gotten any numbers, at least? I think someone posted that they were working with different loads, etc., already. Thanks. The good news is there's a new 230 grainer ready as of this week......but it's for the 10mm! :frown: sgalbra76 07-18-2006, 18:31 I got this from McNett today, July 18th: "The .45 GAPs are coming out tomorrow! We will offer the 185gr, 200gr, and 230gr GDHP's. The specs are great and I think that it is just what you are looking for! Mike McNett President DoubleTap Ammunition 1-866-357-10mm www.doubletapammo.co" I asked him if he could match .45acp+P loadings, and from his email it looks like he can or he's close. :) wizzi01 07-18-2006, 21:06 Originally posted by sgalbra76 I got this from McNett today, July 18th: "The .45 GAPs are coming out tomorrow!

MadMax2012 07-18-2006, 22:46 Your right Wizzi... it will almost be sad to watch. Remember this guy? http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d70/TrojanForLife/IraqiMisinformationMinister.jpg "There are NO 45GAP cartridges that can equal a 45ACP. Rumors of a Double Tap load of 45GAP nearing 45ACP +P velocities are lies from the great Satan himself Gaston Glock." Oh... he also mentioned.... "They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion ... they are trying to sell to the others an illusion." MCNETT 07-19-2006, 00:14 Yes, tomorrow three loads from DoubleTap for the 45 GAP will be available! After a long wait, they will be worth it. We will have: 185gr. GDHP 200gr. GDHP 230gr. GDHP and very soon a 165gr. XTP-HP moving along quite nicely! -Mike Alphaman 07-19-2006, 02:18 Originally posted by MCNETT Yes, tomorrow three loads from DoubleTap for the 45 GAP will be available!

We've been waiting and now it's finally here!:dancing: :banana: :cheers: :drink: :drunk: wizzi01 07-19-2006, 17:58 OH BABY!!! Check out the website they have them posted. 230gr being pushed 925fps. Edited to add I did somewhat of my part and ordered 1 box of each load. I'll see which one I like the best and order more. lunde 07-19-2006, 18:17 I did my part by ordering five boxes of 230gr happiness. :D nosuchagency 07-19-2006, 20:54 hehe, i'm timid. i only ordered 1 box of the 185 grns. these look smokin'; however, i'm already jonesing for the 165 grn'ers - dam, those'll be sassy! Slvr Surfr 07-24-2006, 19:19 Anyone know if we will need to change the recoil spring to accomadate the hotter rounds? I know the guys on the 10mm board suggest it for the G20 AND 29. TIA, Naji wizzi01 07-24-2006, 20:22 Originally posted by Slvr Surfr Anyone know if we will need to change the recoil spring to accomadate the hotter rounds? I know the guys on the 10mm board suggest it for the G20 AND 29. TIA, Naji I don't know if it is necessary but I already have a 20# in mine. So I'll just swirtch them back and forth and see if there are any problems. vBulletin® v3.7.3, Copyright ©2000-2008, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. |  |
