Hi Point 10mm pistol.

[two70]

From what I've heard their handguns are not very reliable, and their carbines are good to go....

IMO, most of the reliability questions are simply rumors repeated by those that have never shot one. The size, weight, and (lack) of ergonomics are the issues not the reliability.

Long story short but a group of us recently took a new 40SW hipoint from the box to the range. Dry as a bone and still zero failures through the first 70-80 rounds.

It functioned and hit where it was pointed.

It ain't no Wilson Combat but it did was it was suppose to do.

Back in the early 2000s I bought a pair on a lark for about $100 total because they were more than a little worse for wear. I'm not sure exactly what happened to them but if their previous owners were attached to them when it happened, they would have been lucky to escape with a long stay in the hospital. I sent them in for repair and both were replaced with new pistols plus a couple extra mags. I put several hundred rounds through each without a single failure before I sold them a few years later.

Does it come in Muddy Girl Pink camo? I was gonna get a fanny pack to match my .40, but a 10mm sounds like more fun.

I do not have any personal experience with either their handguns or rifles personally, but again I've heard lots of good stuff about their carbines, and a 10mm carbine would a very formidable all around weapon...
By the way, I'm sure they are more reliable that what most people say about them, and I'm sure they've probably killed more "homies" than the ultra custom top dollar handguns that only ever shoot at paper.......

I have the 10mm carbine and all I can say is it's a hoot to shoot.
I only have a few hundred rounds through it but I have not had a single issue.
My only gripe with it is the lack of a high(er) capacity magazine.

 

[Noble Sniper]

I picked one up……

 

[manifest destiny]

I see hi point is staying true to their good looks....
I have their 9mm carbine. Ugly but really shoots well. If this pistol is reliable, $225 for a 10mm would be hard to pass up, looks not withstanding.
Edit to add, Sportsmanoutdoorsuperstore has a pre-order at $219.99. Five bucks saved is five bucks earned, or whatever.

I had a 955ts Hi-point Carbine about ten years ago that was a 9mm. It ran cheap remington range ammo like it ought to. The spring loaded Butt-plate was a great addition for the carbine in larger calibers, managing recoil better than a more expensive competitors In my experience however the early 90's era hi-point pistols were very hit or miss when it came to quality control. Not limp wristing a gun helps in the cycling but often it didn't matter. First time gun owners who purchased the hi-points often had a tough time managing the recoil leading to reviews of unreliability. Also the mags were not interchangeable, the old C9 mags don't support last round hold open, correct me if I'm wrong. Wasn't the original owner of the company from Wabash? I might see if I can rent this new 10mm at my local shooting range for an unbiased updated review.

If ammo skyrockets again you can literally have ammunition with more than the gun. Boy those sure are a hideous looking gun.

Lord have Mercy, that thing is Butt-Ugly.
Be interesting to see how it holds up after 500-1000 rounds.
Never Shot one & won't ever buy one.
Love 10mm, but prefer the Classics (1911 style along with S & W 610)

I find it comical how those that have to harp on manufacturer have NEVER shot or even held a hipoint. I just say they are ignorant. My first was the c9 and then i got the 45 model. The c9 was crap with stovepipes, fte an such. Mags had problems and so did the feed ramps. Once those were fixed it was fine. The 45 was a great shooter with no problems. I went as far as stripping the paint from the slides and polished them to mirror finishes. That gave them a nice look. They are "heavy" to give less kickback and that is exactly how it was..low kickback. All these ignorant comments would be the same as me going on all the threads and bashing those ugly plastic square hunks of material you call a glock. I have never held 1 or shot 1. I just hate the looks of them.

I don't see many saying they aren't reliable just, ugly, and 2lb sledgehammer heavy.

IIRC I seen the demolition ranch guy beat, and shot a hi point pistol and it still fired lol.

You are right about glock being ugly also. They are however very dependable firearms.

Say what you want, they are screaming ugly... but do they hold up. Remember when IV8888 on youtube tried to kill them...

I've seem more hi point torture than any other firearm brand. They take it and keep on.

And even after all that, they STILL fixed them, or gave him new ones.

That's great. Winning hearts and minds.

I wonder if it shares the same mag as their 10mm carbine.
