In 2005, all United States military branches came together to create ideal specifications for a .45 ACP caliber pistol. The program sparked early collaboration between FN Manufacturing and Phillips Plastics to create the FNP-45. A first-rate, U.S.-manufactured pistol, the FNP-45 can withstand rigorous environmental testing including a 25,000-round endurance test without any part breakage.
FN Manufacturing had to complete the program within a short time span. FN Manufacturing chose to partner with Phillips Plastics, a company that understands what it takes to metal injection mold parts for firearms.
Coulombier adds, "We consistently have good success with Phillips Plastics. The company hasbeen able to meet our exacting demands for precision manufacturing and quality. "
