"the FNP is likely nowhere near as rugged and durable as the Glock. "
Spoken like a true fanboy. Likely nowhere near? Based on what facts?
"Drag your FNP behind your truck down a gravel road for a few miles and toss it out of an airplane."
Have you ever done this to any firearm? Why would you? Great idea. Sheesh.
Come on, FN has been making guns, fine guns, since 1899.
Glock has been in the gun business since 1980.
70% of U.S. military small arms in use were made by... wait for it ... FN.

Glocks are good guns, but so are many others.
