19.2. ACCESSORY RAIL
The frame of the FNP-45 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 FNP-45 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 FNH USA
Product Service Center, your departmental armorer or a qualified gunsmith
for this adjustment.
Standard FNP-45 models include three dot sights.
FNP-45 Tactical models include high-profile, three-dot combat night sights
designed to co-witness with an electronic sight should the electronic
sight fail.
FNP-45 Competition models include a plain black rear sight and a highly
visible fiber-optic front sight.
Notice! IF THE OPERATION OF THE PISTOL SEEMS
ABNORMAL, REPORT IT TO YOUR DEALER OR
DEPARTMENTAL ARMORER IMMEDIATELY.
• Always keep the pistol in immaculate condition and good
working order.
• Always clean and lubricate the pistol after use.
• Regularly inspect the pistol, its parts and accessories.

To optimize grip on the pistol as a function of the ergonomics of the shooter,
additional backstraps are supplied (Figure 29). One backstrap is installed
