Highpoint Firearms is made down the road from me in Mansfeild,Ohio. From the site it looks mostly handguns, the quality is so so but the price is right if you do not have a lot of money. Welcome to Hi-Point Firearms!
New Balance shoes. Thought this would be one of the more obvious ones.
Some are, not all.
Also keep in mind the Made in the USA label doesn't mean the materials were made in the USA. Red Wing Boots has moved to this, the label is Made in the USA with imported materials on most of their products now. You have wonder how much they were assembled overseas. Are they sending the materials here all prefabricated for a very short final assembly process?
Another thing many companies do is have separate line, Worx by Red Wing is entirely made overseas. Most people who know their boots know Red Wing is Made in the USA and may never look at label.
Purchasing a product totally made in the US is really hard to do and often hard to distinguish because the lines blur.

Hi-Point has an as-yet undeserved reputation for building low quality stuff. They haven't been around for a very long time, so it'll take a while before the longevity of their guns is known, but those who own one rather like them. They're ugly as sin, but they "just work." I have their 9mm carbine, and it's a ton of fun. I wouldn't get one of their pistols to use as a carry weapon (too young of a brand to bet my life on), but so far, it looks like the nay-sayers are speaking purely from their own biases and prejudices, not from any objective viewpoint or practical experience.

They are cheap ($$), though!
Kahr guns i think are made in the US also, in upstate NY.
At one time USA made well built TVs and stereos that were built to last. Is any electronics made in the USA anymore?
I purchased a 35" Sylvania console color TV, made in the US, in 1982. I still watch this TV everyday. I just can't bring myself to throw it out. It works perfect except its resolution doesn't come close, of course, to my flat screen TV.

I agree that there quality will get better, one of the things they could work on is making there 9mm lighter. I like the gun but have compared it to other 9mm and the Highpoint weighs a ton. I have had no problems with jamming so it works for me.
