Hi-Point’s Hush-Point lineup puts a lower price of entry at the center of the suppressor conversation. The manufacturer’s current pages list the rimfire Hush-Point 22 at $259 MSRP and the Hush-Point 9/45 at $439 MSRP. The larger model’s price can now be checked directly, filling a gap in the original news brief.
Two models, different specifications
Hi-Point lists the Hush-Point 22 at 6.19 inches long and 4.9 ounces, with an aluminum body and monocore and a stainless-steel host cap. The manufacturer lists compatible .22- and .17-caliber rimfire cartridges and says it is not full-auto rated.
The larger Hush-Point 9/45 is listed at 7.87 inches and 12.8 ounces. Its published compatibility includes several pistol cartridges from .380 Auto through .45 Auto, plus specific rifle-cartridge applications. Ratings are model-specific; a larger bore does not establish universal compatibility. Hi-Point also says this model is not full-auto rated.
What the review found—and what it did not establish
In its hands-on review, Guns & Ammo reported favorable function and no observed accuracy penalty with the tested combinations. It described straightforward construction and cleaning access. Those observations belong to that publication’s test, not ours, and they should not be read as a guarantee for every firearm.
The review did not provide instrumented decibel results. Descriptions of sound quality cannot establish that a setup is hearing-safe. Follow the manufacturer’s compatibility and maintenance instructions, and use appropriate hearing protection. GUN Crusade has not independently tested either model.
The price is only part of the story
A $259 rimfire model is materially different from a claim that every model costs less than $300. MSRP is also not a guaranteed checkout price or an installed total.
The federal making and transfer taxes for these covered items were reduced to zero, and ATF subsequently changed its enforcement policy. State restrictions still matter. Our NFA coverage and the agency’s current guidance explain that distinction. An affordable product and a change in federal enforcement do not establish lawful possession everywhere.
