actually GLOCK killed the 45 gap AT BIRTH.
developed for glock by SPEER, speer recommended and loaded at 23k,
glock got cip approval at 17k and it was DOA.
17K IS less THAN 45 ACP.

FOR THE RECORD IT WORKS VERY WELL AT 23K
FULL 1911 45 ACP PERFORMANCE IN A 4.2 BBL
SMALLER GRIP THo it is fatter than a single stack 9.
all speer ammo is at or near 23k in spite the cip 17k.
from memory, my 37 /4.2" 900 fps with a 200 for practice,
1000 fps from a 200 xtp for carry
not as "soft" as 1911 recoil, but much easier than 9mm ( 30K+)or 40 s+w( also30k+)
my most common carry gun
45acp power in a pistol only slightly bigger than medium 9mm.

the "problem" does exist
recoil in small/medium 9/40 suck, not all can carry a full 1911
not all can grio a full 1911,
glock killed it with a stupid low pressure limit.

I tried a no gas straight pull Ar for a light weight sub 300 blk build but it was so hard to cycle I ended up installing the gas tube anyway.
