A few months back I had the chance to try an XDs at the range. I had been looking for a new carry gun since I "gave" my XD9 subcompact to my wife. I ended up buying an XDs that day and even though it was my first .45, I fell in love with 45 ACP.
My only issue with the XDs is that it's tiny--great for a carry gun but not really what I wanted for the nightstand. So fast forward to the last couple of weeks when I decided to pick up a new full-size pistol.
After borrowing, renting, handling and drooling over several guns, I decided it was either going to have to be a Sig P220 SAO or an FNX 45. Since they apparently made like ten of the 220s in SAO *ever* and I couldn't come across any of them and the FNX is readily available (plus 50% greater capacity, I like the more aggressive tread on the grips, they come standard with a rail if I decide to add a light), I scored a great price on one on Gunbroker.
So I'm on the way to pick it up this afternoon! Now since this is a "Defensive Carry Guns" forum, has anyone tried carrying one of these bad boys? I'm going to have to try a few holsters, maybe hit the gun show in a few weeks and see if Michael Kole is there and can make a nice OWB for me. Anyone else have any suggestions?
