1. Insert a

16" punch or other small

instrument into the hole in the

backstrap and gently push

inward to release the internal

locking tab (Figure 30).

2. Maintain light pressure on the

punch and slide the backstrap

downward, off the grip (Figure 31).

3. Install the desired backstrap by

sliding it up the rail. It will snap

into place.

19.2. ACCESSORY RAIL

The frame of the FNX features a rail on which accessories, such as a laser

sight or flashlight, can be installed. Follow the instructions included with

the accessory when mounting accessories to your pistol.

20. SIGHTS

Different sights are fitted to FNX models depending on the use of each

model. The sights are factory set for a combat hold (point of aim equals

point of impact) at 20 yards. This may vary slightly with different types of

ammunition.

Do not try to adjust the sights yourself. Send the pistol to the FN Product

Service Center, your departmental armorer or a qualified gunsmith for this

adjustment.

Standard FNX models include three dot sights.

FNX™-45 Tactical models include high-profile, three-dot combat night

sights designed to co-witness with an electronic sight should the

electronic sight fail.
