I'm shooting for under $200. Can't wait to see if it will work with a 40 round drum mag.

Those make big holes, right?

Seems like a good bedside gun, and cheap enough to have one on both sides! And under the sofa, and in the bathroom, and in a box of cereal, and on top of the washing machine, and...

Not my first choice for HD, but it will get the job done, if necessary.

With properly loaded ammo it is roughly equivalent to lower-end .41 mag performance.

.41 mag, .42 mag... whatever gets the job done.

(I have no idea what a .41 mag is. LOL)

.41 Magnum is an intermediary cartridge developed in the 60's to have better terminal performance than a .357 magnum and have less recoil than a .44 magnum round. It didn't succeed and has been a sort of boutique cartridge for the past 60 years. 10mm has been compared to .41 magnum from a power standpoint. Modern 10mm rounds from Buffalo Bore and Double Tap can exceed .41 magnum in terms of performance and power.

I did a little water jug expansion testing with my 10mm and it's an accurate pistol.
It's Glock though and not HiPoint.

The 10mm rounds I have are hard cast 200 gr Underwoods and Doubletap 230 gr.
The front row of the pic are those 2 rounds and the water jug expansion of the 230.
Understand that hardcast is not designed to expand as the 9mm Gold Dot and.40 gold dot to the right.


I suppose the felt recoil of the Hipoint would be reduced as the gun is heavy just like my G20

If any of you get one, do a range report or comparison between a 9mm and this 10 at a few distances.

I'll do more expansion testing of my 10mm after I.load some Noslers 200gr JHPs

Price is attractive but I'm with AR Johnson


EM. Just use that G19 you love.

The Hi-Point is not meant to compete with Glock or any other polymer 10mm handgun. It's its own thing. At 49 oz, it's over a pound heavier than the G20, so it's going to have less felt recoil. I don't see this thing being any more than a fun range toy. I am tempted to make a holster for it and use it and my 1095 10mm carbine in a multi-gun match for funsies, lol.

I would be willing to bet the hi-point 10mm is just as accurate as any other pistol on the market. With modern manufacturing it doesn't take much to make a good barrel, and given that the barrel is fixed a good barrel is all that you need for them to shoot well.

Oh, no doubt. I wasn't referring to its accuracy or reliability. I was looking more towards its practicality as a SD gun. It's significantly larger and heavier than even the biggest 10mm polymer handguns on the market currently. Could it be a decent nightstand gun? Probably. But I think 10mm is too much gun for HD. I have a friend that has a Hi-Point .380 that she keeps as her bump in the night gun. It's so heavy that it almost completely mitigates the snappiness of .380, lol.
