I accidentally bought .45 GAP rounds instead of .45 ACP rounds for my 1911.  I never even heard of this round.  Apparently its mean glock auto pistol.  I thought i might just try to load a mag with a round and see if it would chamber it.  Of course my 1911 did.  I didnt fire it thought.  Would it cycle safely?  I dont see it being a problem since its a shortened .45.  But then the chamber is built for a longer round..  Has to be less pressure.  Well, i dont know, maybe its more...  Would my 1911 shoot them?  Or am i just stupid asking a question i already know - DONT FIRE A ROUND IN A GUN THATS NOT MADE FOR THE GUN.

the shell casing is thicker due to higher pressure powder so it might be a bad idea.
However if you decide to try this video tape it for us

DO NOT DO THAT! It's not the same as a .38 in a .357, or even .44 spl in a 44mag. Find somewon with a .45gap and give them the ammo and replace it with .45 ACP...Hog
