The Norinco HP9-1, also known as the Norinco N870-14.00, is a short-barreled pump action shotgun made by Norinco of China. This firearm has a 14 inch (36 cm) barrel, making it especially lightweight and handy. It is a close copy of the Remington 870, a widely-distributed design no longer under patent protection, and most parts interchange freely.
In the news
An HP9-1 was allegedly carried, but never fired, by the lone murderous assailant during the Montreal, Canada, Dawson College shooting. Another firearm was used in the incident. Police reported that the firearms had been obtained lawfully, and this detail garnered much press attention.[1].
