In the video below, Team FNH USA shooter Mark Hanish shows off a handgun he'll use to win a lot of trophies. With FNH USA's team of top shooters backing it, the FNP-45 Competition promises to prove its worth when the buzzer sounds. Although the pistol has a fiber-optic front sight, its slide can also accept a mini red-dot optic for cleaning up steel plates. Weighing 33.2 ounces, the FNP-45 Competition retails for $1,239 and comes with three magazines that each hold 15 rounds of .45 ACP. It was based off the FNP-45 Tactical, as Hanish explains.
