Got that surplus M11 (Sig P228/229) holster in the mail today.
Just for the hell of it I tried my new FNP in it since I don't have the p228 yet. I'll be damned. It fit practically like a glove. Just right at the muzzle where the guide rod cover is a touch fatter for the intergrated rail it was a bit snug but it its a surprisingly perfect fit otherwise. The snap closed without any effort and its in there solid. Fully loaded mag (empty chamber though) to simulate the weight I turned it upside down and shook it violently. It didn't budge and wasn't coming out unless you deliberately unsnapped it. Even then with the tight fit at the muzzle end it was still quite snug. As cheap as the holster was and can be had on fleabay I'm gonna snag another one. If I didn't know this was a Sig specific holster I'd swear it was made for this FN instead.
I still want a bad ass drop leg tactical style for it so I can leave the light attached but its nice to know this could work as a viable OWB option for concealing the FNP with a nice winter coat over it. For the DIY type folks some j hooks could be added possibly for a very cheap IWB option possibly.
Two birds, one stone. A holster that can pull double duty for me. Not bad for a surplus 15 dollar find on the bay. I'm stoked. Makes waiting for the p228 a little easier for me lol.
