Just wanted to get a feel for which grip panel you FNP owners prefer.

I bet the grip on the FNP-45 will be flat! You probably should do a separite poll for the FNP-45!

For 9mm and .40 I think the curved panel looks and feels better.

With the curved strap, I feel like my finger is in better position with the trigger, but I wonder if I can get a tighter grip with the flat panel. I need to give the flat a try during a range session to prove that theory out.

I recently acquired an FNP-45, my first FNH handgun. I use the flat backstrap because the arched one makes the grip just a bit too fat for my medium-size hands. I suspect if I had a smaller FNP (-9 or -40), I'd probably prefer the arched for their grips. I own a potload of SIGs, and I love the shape of their grip, which isn't all that different from an FNP-9 or FNP-40 with the arched backstrap.

I would say yes.

My hands are far from large and it is quite comfortable with the flat strap installed. The double action trigger reach is very similar to a CZ 75, and the single action trigger reach is actually better than the CZ.

the curved from my limited shooting so far, i did try both today..couldnt honestly tell a whole lot of diffrence.

The flat did however give my trigger finger a bit more strain. On the other hand, man this grip is ruff on the mitt's! After putting 60 rounds, with the pin problem, then putting another 100 down, my hand was kind of ruffed up. Will be looking for a Hogue in the future(or some burglar gloves)
