New member here, first post on TFL so I decided to make it on a subject I know plenty about. I have a FNP in .40 it has been totally reliable and I have no doubt it will remain so. It comes with a second grip insert so try both as you mentioned the grip size. Other pros of the FNP are made in USA, 3 hicaps from the factory and don't forget to check the FN website for a coupon for your free gear, I got a holster and mag pouch with mine sometimes they offer shooting glasses and electronic ear plugs anyway it is free with the mail in coupon and not everyone who buys one is aware of it. I really like mine as it has a sig 229 feel (grip angle, pointability) in a polymer package, even field strips like a sig. I think you will like it!
