5. NoMENClAtURE
In conventional gun terminology, the position and movement of parts are
described as they occur with the firearm horizontal and in the normal firing
position: the muzzle is forward or front, the pistol grip is rearward or rear,
the trigger is downward or underneath, the sights are upward or on top.
For general parts nomenclature refer to Figures 1 and 2.
Most of the illustrations in this owner’s manual show the FNX pistol with
the curved back strap. If desired, the ergonomics of the pistol grip can be
modified by replacing the back strap. For more information on replacing the
backstrap refer to Section 19.1.

6.1. dESCRiptioN
The FNX is a modern autoloading, single-action and double-action pistol
that functions on the principle of recoil operation. The frame is
constructed from a durable polymer and features replaceable slide rails
that extend the service life of the pistol far beyond that of a traditional
polymer-framed pistol.
