FN FNX-45 TACTICAL

Key features and optics integration

The FN FNX-45 TACTICAL is built around FN’s patented Low-Profile Optics Mounting System, allowing mounting of more than 10 different aftermarket optics using supplied adapter plates. The pistol ships with a sight mounting kit, adapter plates, and extra screws so you can fit your preferred red dot without gunsmithing. It also includes suppressor-height sights designed to co-witness with a mounted optic and a protective slide cap with bump wings to shield the rear sight when running iron sights only. Note: this model does not have a threaded barrel.

Ergonomics, capacity, and included gear

FN’s design includes four interchangeable backstraps so shooters can tune the grip to hand size and shooting style. The package comes with two 15-round magazines, a Cordura nylon case, and tritium-equipped suppressor-height sights for low-light use. These practical inclusions make the pistol ready out of the box for range work, training, or duty carry in the Semi Auto category.

Why the .45 platform still matters

The .45-caliber platform remains popular for its proven terminal performance and controllable recoil in a full-size frame. For users prioritizing stopping power and a familiar trigger/slide weight balance, this model from Fn offers a capable option with optical readiness built in.
