I dont see any FN guns listed on their website for that holster. Did you call in your order? I have an FNP9 and there simply aren't many holster choices. The Five/Seven has a few more choices available when shopping for holsters but I dont have my five/seven yet. :(

Another pistol on my 'must-have' list. Too many guns, not enough cash. :(

My choice of carry gun if the Glock 19 9mm with Winchester Ranger Talon Series rounds... I use a Glaco Summer Comfort Holster and love it... Extremely comfortable and don't even notice it is on

I've moved to carrying my full sized Firestorm 1911.

Here it is with some bubinga grips I made for it.

:cool:

I have started carrying my 1911 when out also, leaving the FNP9 at home next to the bed. I need to get another 1911 now, so I can send this one out for some upgrades and trigger work. :dude:

My "everyday, everywhere, nomatter what" gun is a S&W model 442 "J" frame in a pocket holster. In the cooler months when I can wear a denim overshirt or a sweatshirt, a S&W M&P 40 in a OWB opentop holster.

My trusty "J" frame is always with me. :)

And you won’t. The FNP-45 has roughly the same dimensions as the Sig P226, P220 so when I’m searching for a holster for the FNP-45 I go by whatever fits those two handguns. However this method only works for leather holsters and even then youre going to have to work to breakit in a bit, the FNP-45 is slightly a little wider than the Sig models.
