FN FNP-45 Autoloading Pistol
For many there is only one pistol caliber worthy of serious consideration, and that’s the 45 ACP. Over nearly a century this chambering has provided rugged reliability and exceptional accuracy with proven big-bore “stopping power”. The new FN FNP-45 utilizes traditional double-action/single action (DA/SA) operation and offers operators all the features they’ve come to rely on like a high-capacity, ergonomic polymer frame with interchangeable backstrap inserts (flat or arched), accessory rail, ambidextrous frame-mounted decocking levers and magazine release.
The matte black stainless steel slide carries the Melonite® process for added durability, and the FNP-45 is also available in a matte silver stainless slide model. The FNP-45 uses a precision hammer-forged barrel for enhanced accuracy and long service life and offers a loaded chamber indicator on the external extractor. Accuracy results were very good as observed through Guns & Ammo and GunBlast - sub 2" groups at 25 yards.
The FNP-45 is big and a little boxy so CCW is out of the question. This was made for the military so there is no hiding this piece. The beefy frame and slide give the handgun better control and like I said before less felt recoil.
Main competitors: XD45, Glock 21, S&W M&P, Beretta Storm 45
Barrel length: 4 1/2",

A variety of fixed standard and night sights are available. All FNP-45s come complete with three 10- or 14-round magazines and a lockable hard case. With the 14 round mags, the FNP 45 is the highest capacity 45 in the market.
The FNP-45 will be available in DA/SA, SAO, DAO, and pre-loaded striker fired like Glocks and M&Ps. For those that don't want a striker fired .45, this is a good option.
According to FNH USA, the FNP line of pistols is the only polymer-framed autoloading pistol on the market (as of its introduction) with fully replaceable frame rails; this allows the pistol to be rebuilt after extensive firing, thereby extending service life.

The FNP-45 is made to withstand the expected standards of the new selection process of the miltary. According to past SOCOM requirements, the service standard was 30,000 rounds of +P .45 ACP. As a result, all likely candidates will be big guns, which means more durable and have softer felt recoil.
