The Hi-Point carbine is a series of pistol-caliber carbines manufactured by Hi-Point Firearms chambered for 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP and .380 ACP.They are very inexpensive, constructed using polymers and alloyed metals as much as possible, resulting in a reduction of production costs and sale price.
Because all Hi-Point firearms are rated for +P ammunition the slides are even heftier than what would otherwise be necessary. When the last round is fired and ejected, the slide will lock in the open position. There is no slide release on the Hi-Point .45 JHP, so releasing the slide is performed by pulling the locked slide further back.

Another example is the Kel-Tec SUB-2000 series chambered in either 9mm Parabellum or .40 S&W , which can be configured to accept Glock, Beretta, S&W, or SIG ...
While smaller police and sheriff departments will use reliable civilian market carbines rather than formally adopted carbines made and marketed for police (I have seen Winchester 1894 lever action and Commando Mark III carbines brought out of patrol car trunks), I would want reliable sources on use of Hi-Point Carbines by LE agencies beyond ...
