All of Hi-Point's handguns use a blowback design similar to that used in the German Walther PPK and Russian Makarov PM.
The model JCP has a polymer frame like all Hi-Point pistols, a 4.5 inch barrel, and a slide composed of ZAMAK-3 [citation needed] with steel reinforcements. It features an integral accessory rail for mounting lasers and flashlights on Hi-Point rings. The safety is a combination lever for locking the slide and blocking the sear movement.
