Here’s my answer. Regardless of the skeptics and naysayers the Hi-Point is a reliable firearm. Their handguns such as this model, the JXP 10 mm gets a lot of flack because of its size and weight. My only response to that concern is MAN THE EFF UP. Lmao. The JXP is chambered in 10 mm and this is my first time owning and firing a 10 mm. If you follow my page you know that one of my goals is to own various firearms or different calibers. The objective is to become proficient in shooting all types of firearms. For those that like Desert Eagles and have never held or fired one I would suggest you begin right here. Hi-Point are known for making the BIG BOY handgun. Personally I would suggest using hand grips on a regular basis to assist with grip strengthening. I believe that will assist with properly handling any large caliber firearm. Aside of the Hi-Point being cost efficient and reliable they’re made here in America and all of their firearms come with a LIFETIME warranty. I bet those other manufacturers do not offer that. Anyway.. The 10 mm is one I’ve been waiting to add to my collection. This gun will specifically be used for the target practice at the range. In the meantime I am waiting for my Hi-Point 45 ACP to arrive. Don’t sleep on Hi-Point. You may actually find one to your liking. #HiPoint#10mm
I’m a collector of different manufacturers. Taurus, S&W, Savage, ATI, Tokarev and the list goes on. Currently I own 3 Hi Point firearms and I do not regret purchasing them. A lifetime warranty is something other manufacturers are not competing with. That alone places Hi Point in a great position.
Honestly though, with Colorados permit to purchase law going into effect August 1st, I’m gonna just save my $$$ for a broom handle Mauser to add to my vintage collection.
All I can say is “Thank God it’s not another Staccato fanboy”. If it goes “bang” only when you pull the trigger and reliably puts holes in what you’re aiming at that’s good enough.
I owned a Hi Point .45 years ago. It had the habit of stove piping at least once out of every magazine. No matter what I did with it or how clean I had it, it still did it. I traded it for a shotgun and I told the guy I traded it to about the issue with it. He repaired it. He said it was an ejector issue and he still owns it. He said he never had another problem out of it, I may give a Hi Point another shot! Tell us how the range shoot goes.
Hi Point firearms are banned in the state of illinoid, due to the “melting point” law, from the 60’s. The “melting point” law restricts the sale of handguns made from materials that can melt or deform at temperatures below 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
The two I’ve recently purchased are great. The first thing I did was told my wife to hold them. Once she complained about how heavy they are I was immediately reassured in knowing she wouldn’t reach for them.
