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.

The hi-point .380 is the same gun as their 9mm, so the slide has plenty of weight to tame a .380

Will hopefully be picking mine up at my FFL on Saturday.

I wish everyone would stop catering to the suppressor crowd.
Let them buy a different barrel (or preferably, a different model from the start) if they want that - I don't want a stupid threaded barrel with a gawd-awful-ugly, knurled chunk of metal stuck to the front.

Looking forward to hearing more about these.
Definitely in "Emptymag" price range, but I don't know that I want to have to buy another caliber of ammo.

I don't care if the barrel is threaded. I don't plan to suppress 10mm, though I have one that would work on the gun. You don't buy 10mm to slow it down. That's what .40S&W is for, which you could shoot out of the JXP10, but I still won't suppress it.

If you're worried about the cost of getting into 10mm or don't already have 10mm, I wouldn't recommend buying this as a novelty. The ammo cost is going to be high, even if you reload. I already have several 10mm guns and ammo I've collected over the past 20 years. It's not a new cartridge I'd add today if I didn't have it already. Too expensive.

I just fondled one of these at the GAOS.

It's a beast but as noted, a range plinker in my opinion.

Regardless of the price being very low, I personally won't get one.

For shits and giggles, I would like to shoot one but to maintain sight picture at any distance. I think it would be a bit challenging to stay on target.

Maybe not for a strong young guy.

Perhaps a few guys can give us a range report after purchase. Targets 10 to 25.

Get one EM. Knurled barrel thread nut be damned

They make them without the threaded muzzle.

Not in 10mm.

Don't know then, the early videos I saw on them said they were making both threaded and unthreaded 10mm's. I suspected because some states prohibit threaded pistols
