Hi-Point Firearms

Encyclopedia : H : HI : HIP : Hi-Point Firearms

Hi-Point Firearms (Also known as Mks Supply, and Beemiller Distributing) is a firearms manufacturer based in Dayton, Ohio. They manufacture low-cost pistols and Carbines, in the following calibers:

380 ACP Pistols
9 mm Luger Pistols, Carbines (Hi-Point 995 Carbine)
.40 S&W Pistols, Carbines
.45ACP Pistols (Hi-Point .45 ACP)

Firearms manufactured by Hi-Point generally include polymer frames and powder coat finishes; they are +P+ rated and operate via a simple blow-back action. Hi-point weapons are regarded as simple, inexpensive guns which sacrifice aesthetics for lower cost and ease of use. Their products generally retail for 1/2 to 1/4 the cost of a comparably chambered gun from other, more prestigious manufacturers
