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 FNP-45 Tactical
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. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
6.1. DESCRIPTION
The FNP-45 Tactical is an autoloading single- 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 other polymer-framed pistols.
