For a carry 45 acp, How about the Glock 36, easy to hide, light , and good to go. I also have the p220 but it's larger and shows more. IMO
I guess I should have said "which MY FNP 45 doesn't have". My FNP 45 Tactical does have the manual safety, but with the Trijican RM04 sight mounted and the Silencerco Osprey can, it doesn't fit my IWB holster.

I'm not sure I agree with that statement. I know several people who place very well around here with DA/SA guns. It's only double action for the first shot, then single action is, IMO, much nicer to fire than DAO guns. Zero take up, just ready to fire, but YMMV.
Since the USG model has the capability of being "cocked and locked" carried same as a 1911, cant you engage the first target in single action with the safety? I am a novice in the shooting sports.I also know a few skilled da/sa shooters, but they are good shooters period. They would win with a hi-point.
A average shooter is going to have an easier time with a consistant gun, wether that is dao or single action.
A lot of da/sa shooters can shoot well slowly, but when they try to amp the speed up that first shot is usually poorly placed.
Many times I have seen a shooter shoot a great stage, but every first shot was thrown sometime completly off the entire target.
Or they have to slow down to make that shot count, and then speed up. Which can be painfull to watch.
I owned a few da/sa competition guns, then I had my eyes opened....the shot timer tells no lies.
Sold em all.
Consistancy is the mother of speed.
Striker guns = consistant
Single action guns = consistant
Revolvers = consistant
I am not saying dont shoot a da /sa gun, there is no higher accomplishment than beating out everyone else with a sig or a cz, and everyone who shoots will know what a difficult thing you did, and what an excellent shooter you are.
But its playing the game on "hard" mode.
Cheers
Hey, I should carry that IWB front and center...I may get more attention from the ladies!I guess I should have said "which MY FNP 45 doesn't have". My FNP 45 Tactical does have the manual safety, but with the Trijican RM04 sight mounted and the Silencerco Osprey can, it doesn't fit my IWB holster.
