Hi-Point Expands Into Suppressors With Hush-Point Line

Hi-Point Firearms has introduced the Hush-Point family of suppressors, a new product line built around two models: the Hush-Point 22 and the Hush-Point 9/45. The launch extends the company’s catalog beyond firearms and into sound suppression, with one model aimed at rimfire and small-caliber use and the other covering a wider range of pistol calibers, plus limited rifle applications.

Both suppressors share the same basic construction approach and are presented as part of a common family rather than separate standalone designs.

Shared Design and Materials

Across the line, Hi-Point lists a symmetrical four-piece design. The body, monolithic baffle, and muzzle cap are made from 7075 aluminum, while the host cap is made from 17-4 stainless steel. The use of a monolithic baffle indicates a single-piece internal core rather than a stack of separate baffles.

Threading differs by model. The Hush-Point 22 uses 1/2x28 threads. The Hush-Point 45 is offered with 1/2x28 and .578x28 host cap thread options. Hi-Point does not rate either suppressor for full-auto use.

Hush-Point 22 Specifications

The Hush-Point 22 is the lighter and shorter of the two models. Hi-Point lists it at 6.19 inches in length and 4.9 ounces in weight, with a 1/2x28 host cap thread.

Caliber compatibility on the Hush-Point 22 includes a broad range of rimfire and small-bore cartridges. Listed .22-caliber options are .22 Short, .22 LR, and .22 WMR. The suppressor is also rated for several .17-caliber cartridges: .17 Mach 2, .17 HMR, and .17 WSM.

Based on that caliber list, the Hush-Point 22 is positioned as a multipurpose suppressor for users running common rimfire platforms as well as select .17-caliber rifles and pistols that use compatible threading.

Hush-Point 45 Specifications

The Hush-Point 45 is the larger model in the lineup and is intended for centerfire handgun use, with some additional compatibility outside that category. Hi-Point lists overall length at 7.87 inches and weight at 12.8 ounces. Host cap thread options are 1/2x28 and .578x28.

Pistol caliber support includes 30 Super Carry, .380 Auto, 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45 Auto. Hi-Point also lists two rifle-compatible chamberings for the Hush-Point 45: .300 Blackout in subsonic loads and 5.7x28mm.

That combination places the Hush-Point 45 in a broad utility role for shooters using multiple handgun calibers, while also allowing crossover use on select rifles or carbines that match the suppressor’s stated limitations and thread requirements.

Product Positioning and Practical Notes

The Hush-Point series appears structured around straightforward material choices, a shared architecture, and caliber coverage split between rimfire and centerfire use. The Hush-Point 22 addresses traditional rimfire suppression needs with low weight, while the Hush-Point 45 emphasizes wider cartridge compatibility and dual thread options.

As listed by Hi-Point, neither model is full-auto rated, making the line oriented toward conventional semi-automatic and manually operated hosts rather than sustained automatic-fire applications.
