grip dimensions of fnp 45 usg

[dadof6]

I've been eyeballing the fnp 45 usg, but no body around me carries it. may even be discontinued. I was wondering if anybody has the .45, would they be so kind as to measure the grip dimensions - front to back and side to side.

wondering if it may be too big for my average size hands. Sure looks purty in the pictures on line

thanks for your help

I don't have the dimensions, but I've handled the FNP 45 a few times at gun stores and shows. It is a big pistol. It seems tall. However, the grip is pretty reasonable. Once it is in your hand it doesn't feel quite that big. I find it a better fit than a Glock 21 or the CZ97. It seems along the lines of the XD 45 or M&P 45 as far as the grip goes.

Try and find an article by Greg Rodriguez on the FNP 45. I think he writes for Guns and Ammo. He is a short guy, I think 5'4", and didn't think the grip was too unreasonable.

I owned an XD 45 and have handled an M&P 45. To me, the FNP feels huge and ungainly. There is no way I could use the pistol double action.
