    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

    I must say that thus Hi Point is a vast improvement over the older models as far as presentation. It still won't win the beauty contest...but I personally think it's not that bad! As a matter of fact I may even consider one chambered in 10mm.

    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 😂

    Hi Point has a great rep with me. Almost indestructible and reliable with a lifetime warranty. Best pistol out there.

      @HOG8541 I think that depends on how you define best.
      Is it most reliable? Clearly not. Is it most durable? No again. Is it the best looking? I think so, but I'm an aesthetic masochistic.
      Is it the best at fulfilling the the natural right to self defence for as many humans as possible? Maybe so.
      Throughout history it was rare for a military to supply soldiers with the best possible weapon because that is an impractical goal.
      Typically, soldiers received the most cost efficient, easily produced, and simplest to learn weapon that still functioned in a modern military setting.
      Of course one might find examples to the contrary, but fancy, expensive, complicated weapons were never the norm.
      Even today, with the largest military budget the world has ever known, the US military still considers these points when choosing weapons systems.
      For civilians in the US that weapon might be the Hi Point pistol.
      I bought my first Hi point new for $150 a few years back. I've seen them for less since. I could have gotten four of them for the price of a new Glock, or one of them and a couple hundred dollars ammo for training (which is what I did).
      It is definitely not the best at everything, not even most things, but is arguably the best commercially available product at the primary purpose of a firearm; defending the masses against all threats to life and liberty.
      If so, that makes the Hi Point a contender for the best gun in my book.

    They do look huge and impractical to carry , but for an inexpensive gun , I'm impressed with their reliability . I can see having that 10mm as a knock-around gun ,or even as a night-stand home gun . Wow ,I can't believe you might've just sold me on a Hi-Point .

The thing is that I already ready own (3) 10mms' (Glock 20 , 40 , & Ruger Blackhawk 10mm/.40S&W convertible) , but I'd like an inexpensive big bore that I can abuse and not worry about it if I don't clean it , or if it gets dinged up .

    My dad was in the artillery back during ‘nam and he was sitting on the back porch a few weeks ago while I shot my S&W .44 Magnum about 200 yards away. It was just beginning to get dark and I fired six rounds, reloaded and fired six more. When I got back to the house, he said it looked like some of those howitzers firing. He said that the flash from the muzzle was lighting up everything around. 😂

    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!
