What’s more American than affordable carbines and pistols made right here in the USA? Affordable carbines and pistols in M81 Woodland Camouflage. Well, Hi-Point Firearms just announced the release of a series of pistols and carbines coated in a new M81 Dip Pattern camo.
M81 Camouflage
M81 is a term for the U.S. Woodland Camouflage issued from 1981 through the late 2000s. It’s a pattern that anyone who served during the Cold War knows well. All of my old BDUs from my time in both the Army and Air Force Reserve are M81 pattern. It was supplanted by a number of other patterns with the different branches of the service over the past 20 years. However, it’s been making a comeback though on packs, tactical gear, and gun finishes.
The M81 Camouflage Hi-Points
Hi-Points are inexpensive, but they work. They’re made in the USA, and they’re backed by a lifetime warranty. I have a 10mm JXP-10, and it’s reliable and more accurate than it has a right to be. Hi-Points are heavy and chunky, and, well, kind of plain and angular looking, too. That’s where something like the M81 Camouflage dip pattern finish comes in.
An easy way to spice up that otherwise basic gun is a new finish. Hi-Point has a history of offering a variety of finishes on its guns, but the M81 Camouflage is a new one. They’re applying it to five of their most popular models. The YC9 9mm and JHP .45 ACP pistols, and the 995TS 9mm, 4595TS .45 ACP, and 1095TS 10mm carbines. The upcharge for the new finish is minimal, so even with the trendy throwback finish, you still won’t be spending a fortune on your new gat.
