Brilliant Addition to my FNP-45
After seeing it online and reading about it here, after a while, I decided to give it a try.
Installing it on my FNP-45 (non-USG) with the arched backstrap was a challenge to say the least. I started by giving the grip a thorough alcohol wipe to rid it of fingerprints before installing. Before installing I highly recommend heating it as it does (to a small, but significant, degree) make it more workable. I did not heat mine before installing and this made it very tough. Nevertheless, after 20 minutes of power-poking and I was able to install it. Despite the installation hardships it was worth every coin; greatly improved my grip (I have really big hands) and the cushioning finger grooves it added improved comfort during long shooting sessions.
I must emphasize however that the grip sleeve does adhere well--- perhaps too well, which is good for holding the pistol but may cause unwanted shirt and waist snagging on concealed carry applications but not a problem for me as I do not use my FNP-45 for concealed carry.
Hogue really has a winner with this grip sleeve. Highly recommended!
