Auto Colt Pistol. There is a .25 ACP .45 ACP and I think there might be an .32 ACP
GAP=Glock Auto Pistol. So far the only caliber specifically designed for Glock is the .45 GAP

Automatic Colt Pistol, and yes there are quite a few. The 25 (6.35mm), 32 and 38 are all cartridges that were developed for Browning-designed pistols, and the 45 short was made for sale in countries where military calibers are prohibited to the public.

Obviously you've been given the correct answer to your question. I just wanted to remark on all the thumbs downs that have been given to people that gave solid answers. Are there that many anti-gun people out there? What about how the liberals always talk about tolerance? Doesn't that apply to everyone or just people who see things their way? If so is that not a double standard?

I would say Automatic Colt Pistol, but I have been beaten by a few others.

Automatic Colt Pistol. Those rounds were designed for specific Colt firearms but have since caught on with most manufacturers.
There are several.... .25ACP, .32ACP, .38ACP, .380ACP (diff from the .38ACP), .45ACP etc.
