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:


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.


Magazines

Typical Hi-Point magazines are metal with plastic bases. They are generally available in 8 to 10 round capacities for pistols and 10 rounds for rifles; however, a 15-round aftermarket magazine exists for the 9 mm carbine.
