    Never owned a hi-point, but I remember reading a review a long time ago that kinda summed it up by saying that with modern machining technology, there’s really no reason why a cheaply produced gun should fail. And I’ve seen all sorts of torture test videos since then, and none of them suggest that a hi-point won’t go bang when you tell it to. I know it’s nobody’s ideal weapon of choice, but it beats the hell out of throwing rocks.

    My favorite scene was the slow motion shooting on the cabbage. The reason I like it is because this gun is designed based on a blow back action utilizing the slide weight to keep the breech closed until the bullet leaves the barrel to avoid gases blowing backward.. And the slow motion shooting scenes show the cabbage damage before the slide starting to move backward, so Hi point have mastered the blow back design for the 10 mm - kudos to hi point.

    Just to nitpick, it’s not really to “prevent the gasses blowing backward” It’s to delay opening until gas pressure is low enough to not blow the case head off. 9mm peak chamber pressure is pushing the case head backwards with about 2 metric tons of force. Which is equivalent to the tensile strength of 0.5 square inches of solid brass

It's not science unless the results are repeatable, you can write anything you want and call it science but unless some one else can do it exactly the same and get the same results then it is not science.. eg. The time someone desided to try to prove the theory of creation by determining the age of the earth based on sedement deposit at a set rate of deposit at a single location over a time frame, he concluded that the earth was something like a couple "HUNDRED" years old... Ya his "SCIENCE" experiment said the earth came into existance somewhere around the time the USA declared independance and "NOTHING" existed before that... True story... Results are scientifically "BOGUS!"

    For a pistol in that caliber, a Ruger Security 380 is a far better buy and worth the extra money. It's more compact, has better ergonomics, better finish, is a major brand and has more round capacity. Hi Points look like someone made a gun from diecast pot metal and the grip of a child's toy pistol lol. Those tribal people in Pakistan make firearms that have a far higher quality finish than Hi Point has or even some KelTec guns. I even seen a anti-2A hit piece about some villagers in the Philippines who make clone 1911s from scrap metal that make Hi Points look like utter trash 😂.

    My first gun was a Hi-Point JCP 40 Pistol. And then I had an High point 9mm. Now I have a 995 (9MM) that is a lot of fun shooting!

    Let’s see a combo next with the 10mm pistol AND carbine. They take the same mags so being able to switch between the two in a zombie situation would be interesting. Believe it or not, this sold me on hi point. Just bought a .45 and probably gonna get this 10mil next.

    My first handgun was a c9. Not knowing the lore behind them 😂 hands down one of the best long distance handguns I’ve ever shot. Too heavy to have significant recoil 😂

    I gotta say, this new JXP looks pretty badass for a hi-point. They're stepping their game up for sure! Looks like you can snag one for around $200 too, for that price its almost like you'd HAVE to buy one

    @@marfadog2945 Hey you know what's crazy? Whatever device you're using, it's connected to this thing called "The Internet" You can use it for all sorts of stuff! Including Googling where to find 10mm ammo for cheap! There is a shop right down the road from me that sells a box of 50 Federal Premium 10mm 200 grain hollowpoints for $40!! Wow! Imagine that! Not sure what you're smoking, but I would lay off if I were you.
