I had a P220 for a number of years and that thing was a tack driver but man was it heavy on the hip for everyday carry. I would go with something lighter. Check the weight on each.

FNP 45?  15 rounds?  3 mags?  Low recoil?......I've been impressed.

It's a good gun Mossy, you should be!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

It's a .45 you can't go wrong with that!  I've only fired a springfield 1911 and owned a Glock 21 for my duty weapon and personal weapon and didn't have any complaints.  Good choice either way.  When a banger tries to pull his 22 or 9 just pull the 45 and let'em know one shot, one kill.

You better believe it!  This past fall I and the wife were scouting some new area and when we were coming out we ran into this crappy little tonka toy (toyota) with a couple of punks that tried to get tough and disrespectful towards my wife and hot damn that s**t don't fly with me.  I informed them really quick how easy it would be for me to send them before THE MAN before they got a chance to pull their cute little pocket pistols out!  While "talking" with them they mentioned they had been following our tracks for some time.  Just another reason why I pack 24/7.
