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.
I have a Hi-Point .40 caliber,it's heavy as all HP guns,but it's a nice gun,and just ordered their TEET Cannon,will give an update once I receive it, and fire it?
I had a Hi-Point in .380. Very solid handgun (heavy = low recoil) that my wife loved to shoot. It was great to throw in a truck box without worrying about scratches. Plus, not a single jam ever!
You better believe it, definitely he's got a purpose that God is giving him. If that was anybody else they wouldn't have made it. He should not be alive. But we are all thankful that is👍🏻👍🏻❤❤
fixed barrel design hence they shoot straight by default! - And that huge 'cast iron' slide mitigates recoil. only other gun in that design is a makarov and much smaller, and snappier, and shoots 9x18. So slightly hotter than a 380. one of my favorite carry pieces.
They are uly as hell, heavy and have terrible triggers, but seem to be reliable and fairly accurate. I picked up a 45acp for something like $100 years ago, just to see what they are all about. I didn't keep it long, but never had a jam across many boxes of cheap ammo. I think it's good that the market has an option for people who can't spend $900+ on a handgun.

I really enjoyed this. This is the first review of the Hi-Point 10mm since tfbtv showed it at SHOT show. This really showed the reliability and handling of the pistol and a comprehensive review of both calibers.
As someone who has had a cop on A-line and no firearm I can say truer words have never been spoken especially when I get told there are no officers available
I love hi point in the sense that they provide even the most downtrodden with the ability to defend themselves and their family. Us gun lovers may find them ugly, clunky, and cheaply built (all of which are true) but they still do their job.
I have had a high point 9mm in my boat for 15+ years. Rain, sun, humid or cold it always fires! Never jammed, no misfeeds or failure to fire. It stays loaded and only whipped down with a silicone rag when I think about it. It has always been 100% reliable. I can't ask for more! JMHO
Bought a Hi Point C 9 (9mm} in 2004 20 yrs later still have it . I used it in my work (Armed Security ) for 6 yrs It now is my bedside gun. It has always been dependable and still a great firearm.
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'm amazed to see your progress over time. You're always improving your techniques, form and delivery and I think one day soon every table is going to land upright on the first try. In five more years you'll land them balancing on one leg.
That was impressive and hilarious. I've shot a 380 hi point and never had an issue and neither did the owner. For the price one can't go wrong , especially when considering a 300.00 to 500.00 dollar in price difference with more popular pistolas. You sir are entertaining as hell, thanks for posting.
300.00 for a high point is a joke. You can buy them all day on gunbroker and similar sight. Honestly they're extremely reiable;, but clearly wouldnt be my daily carry for obvious reasons lol
I have a Hi-Point carbine and it has run perfectly fine. It cost all of $315 and had fewer malfunctions than my AR that cost 2 1/2 times as much. The real downside is the low 10-round capacity and the horrible disassembly process. That's something that won't outweigh the low price.
For a pistol in that caliber, a Ruger Security 380 is a far better buy and worth the extra money. It's more compact, has better ergonomics, better finish, is a major brand and has more round capacity. Hi Points look like someone made a gun from diecast pot metal and the grip of a child's toy pistol lol. Those tribal people in Pakistan make firearms that have a far higher quality finish than Hi Point has or even some KelTec guns. I even seen a anti-2A hit piece about some villagers in the Philippines who make clone 1911s from scrap metal that make Hi Points look like utter trash 😂.
I would like to say that this Hi-Point is a lifesaver definitely for people living in Alaska or Canada or anywhere where there's brown bears or dangerous animals and they can't afford an expensive pistol or rifle, this gives them an option of a reliable 10 mm they can throw some 180 grain FMJs and defend their family for $200
I appreciate your dedication to re-standing the predator every time 😂 That first .45 into the cinder block was interesting, you don't usually get a nice clean hole with cinder blocks, usually it either does doesn't break anything, or absolutely shatters it. It's only science if you write it down Scott, otherwise it is just screwing around 🤣
Correction... It's not science unless the results are repeatable, you can write anything you want and call it science but unless some one else can do it exactly the same and get the same results then it is not science.. eg. The time someone desided to try to prove the theory of creation by determining the age of the earth based on sedement deposit at a set rate of deposit at a single location over a time frame, he concluded that the earth was something like a couple "HUNDRED" years old... Ya his "SCIENCE" experiment said the earth came into existance somewhere around the time the USA declared independance and "NOTHING" existed before that... True story... Results are scientifically "BOGUS!"
hey Scott I just wanted to tell you, you are THE most likeable gun youtuber. even head to head with Ian for me. your vibes are really clean, honest, smart & good all at the same time!
@@whoshotashleybabbitt4924 You got that right, you can get a 6 pack of Hi Points for the cost of one Kimber and never have to worry if they are going to work.
Hi point is underrated for sure . I bought a c-9mm about 20 years ago for $80 it was my first gun still have it today and the customer service is great. They have there place for sure.
As my grandfather once told me…”it’s a poor worker that blames his tools”. North of the border subscriber here, all the way up in Montreal Canada. 👍😜🇨🇦
This video supports what I already knew, Hi-Point firearms are excellent overall value. I like both my 380 pistol and my 10MM Yeet Cannon, they both shoot flawlessly
Still have no intention of getting a Hi-Point any time soon, but! By all accounts, including Scott's, they've improved their product considerably in recent years. Hat off to them for it.
I did enjoy this video. You know,every time I someone test a Hi-Point,the gun performs really well. It appears they have greatly improved their build quality. They also have a great warranty.
I have a JXP, once you break in the trigger it’s very solid. Compared to my friends Glock 20, it recoils wayyy less, however it’s probably double the weight. However fully modular compared to it. Got it for $157, I have no regrets.
I like how on the slow-mo you can see just how heavily the slide rockets backwards. Hi-points may not be light as a feather, but damn if that weight doesn't make them reliable.
We’ll they have put a lot more research to fix the problem. I say they should go after a little more expensive market and actually make something that can compete with other budget brands like CANIK and Taurus
About 98% of all complaints of hi points comes from the magazines, which for whatever reason the company has been slow to improve...the straight blowback design is inherently simple and reliable, although heavy...we have a new 995 that we are already liking, after years of debating whether to buy a hi point or not...now i'm ordering a couple extra magazines, so I guess we'll keep it...
You bet. Think as Hi-Point like the flat screen that is still bulky and blocky sold today. It'll definitely work for people who need one, no questions asked
Nah, they are ugly, bad capacity, way too heavy & made out of crap materials. I don't think they deny that & they aren't really trying to cater to us gun guys. What they do succeed in is being reasonably reliable. If you aren't into guns but want something for home defense, Hi-Point is vastly better than nothing.
@@TheeabdielCanik and Taurus should no longer be put in the same category. Canik guns are now in the $500-$700. They are just as well put together as Glocks and Sigs. Hi-Points issues mostly stem from their crappy magazines.
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.
As a retired special operator who has owned many many different guns in all calibers, I finally got rid of all of them except my Highpoint C9. I use it for hunting and fishing and whenever I'm in a gun fight, and has never let me down! ROTFLMAO! Great and entertaining video my Kentucky brother from another Mother! 👏
I handled one of these at Sportsmans the other day, and I was amazed with the sheer amount of steel in that thing... 😂 You could probably make 3 or 4 regular pistols if you melted down the slide.
I bought a Highpoint 45 ACP from a friend at a very good deal. Brought it to the range and put it through some Hell and she did not jam not even once. I think it’s the big and bulky that people don’t like about it but it works. Far as distance it wasn’t bad but for a affordable home defense weapon, you can’t go wrong with one at all.
As a very happy owner of a Hi-Point JXP10, I legitimately use this video to show people WHY I love the big beast so much. One of my friends actually bought one for himself after talking to me and watching this video.
@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.
Fkn love watching Hi-Point under super slo mo. The rail is such a brick! I've had a 9mm for 15 years and never had a jam. My 10mm YC is the way. Favorite truck guns for sure.
Have the original JHP 45, big, ugly, and works. Have the C9, and now the JHP Gen 2. The JXP 10mm gen2 is getting shipped next month. 10mm for under $200.00 amazing.
ive shot the 45 and 9mm and 380. the 45 was flawless. the 9mm was old and used but coule USUALLY get through a mag without an issue. the 380...... i dont think it had enough umph .. and would jam a lot...... so 10mm i expect would be pretty damn good considering frame is same as a 45. and that never gave me issue. hes tempted me too.
Man, it's so satisfying to see that bullet flying through the lovely Kentucky air in slow motion. Yeeeeet! It looks like you're living your best life fo sho!
Scott as usual I was not disappointed you brought the laughter and entertainment once again and maybe these gun haters will see that with proper training and respect for the weapon can be a lot of fun thanks again keep up the great job you do.
I bought a Hi-Point second hand that had a defect from the factory. Hi-Point sent me a new pistol. Other than finding the right person to talk to, their customer service was pretty good.
I gotta say, this new JXP looks pretty badass for a hi-point. They're stepping their game up for sure! Looks like you can snag one for around $200 too, for that price its almost like you'd HAVE to buy one
@@marfadog2945 Hey you know what's crazy? Whatever device you're using, it's connected to this thing called "The Internet" You can use it for all sorts of stuff! Including Googling where to find 10mm ammo for cheap! There is a shop right down the road from me that sells a box of 50 Federal Premium 10mm 200 grain hollowpoints for $40!! Wow! Imagine that! Not sure what you're smoking, but I would lay off if I were you.
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 😂
Thank you for another 11 minutes of fun. I always wanted to try 10mm, so I bought a JXP-10. At 49 ounces, it is heavy enough to make the recoil not too horrible.
It certainly is the nicest looking of all of the Hi-Points I've seen and it just works. I think it was a brand-new Kimber 10mm a few years ago that Scott had never fired and I think it "You just got jammed" on every other shot!
Just like I don't make fun of the out of shape person at the gym (because at least they're trying to better themselves), I'll never be a snob at the range. We as 2A supporters have lots of enemies - someone with a Yeet Cannon at the range is one of us. Hell, I'd probably let him shoot my Glock while I try out his Yeet Cannon! 🇺🇸
Glad you did this with the Hi-Point .I've never owned one but I'd consider one now 👍Love your humor. You remind me of me in a lot of ways. Glad you're doing well after going through the incident 😮 God bless you and yours and keep these videos coming.
Highpoint Guns & other good budget guns are what help make my gun collection large. This is my first HP. pistol, hope its as good as my 995, 4095, 4595, & 1095. Thanks Scott always a BLAST !
I swear hi point is growing on me....they might be top end heavy like a van but damnit man they're reliable for the price.and that new 10mm after the redesign really don't look half bad.i see they're selling for $219 so I'll prolly have to go pick one up
Interesting to see them compared! Would love a comparison between 10mm and 9mm also, especially at medium/long range to see how it loses velocity and penetrating power with distance.
10 mm is a magnum rated cartridge, 40 Smith & Wesson is a scaled-down 10 mm in much the same way 357 and 38 special are related. 9mm and 40s&w would more the "9mm vs 10mm" comparison I think you have in mind considering 40 is a 10mm with a 1/16 inch shorter casing and less pressure......9 to 10 is a huge jump gloss over the magnum part and skip the 10mm short aka 40s&w
@@RedPillAlways I keep plus P plus for some of my 9mm with solids. Still don't compare.....you aren't just talking about a slight diameter increase it also a very large jump in bullet weight. Unless you get ahold of some variables you're talkin about comparing apples and oranges..... Especially because 10mm ammo off the shelf is anemic at best 99% of the time.Underwood does some that are better but still not operating at full chamber pressure for the design.SAAMI cuts off at 32k or so for chamber pressure off the shelf where the 10mm was designed to run at 50k. If you want to see I could probably dig one of my go pros out and get video when it warms up enough to shoot.
I been watching Scott since long ago. In the beginning Scott seemed a little bit like a stiffler I thought he was just a really serious guy. But man I hit that like button at the start of a video nowadays because he makes me laugh. It's good to see how comfortable Scott had gotten after a few uploads. Love yuh Scott you make me smile on every video.
@Nathaniel Shrock 10mm is actually smaller bullet wise but case length and powder amount is a pretty big difference because the ammo I buy for my 10mm is more or less powerful then 357 magnum from the same company The only reason it isn’t more powerful all the time is because not all bullets have the same powder amounts even from the same box
I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
As always
Yes I will
Always good.

Very wise meen indeed
As someone who has had a cop on A-line and no firearm I can say truer words have never been spoken especially when I get told there are no officers available

I have never had an issue with a Hi-Point. They are definitely dependable. The only real drawback on them is how funny most of the models look 😂
The carbines remind me of the guns in Tim Burtons Planet of the apes
The only issue I've had is aftermarket mags. That's an easy fix.
I think the HP and Glock are similar in looks 😆
Dependable and weigh enough to use as a battle ax if you run out of ammo !
A burglar won't notice how they look .
Scott I don't think I've seen you so hilariously high-energy in a video before. The power of Hi-Point!
I got a hi point c9 I paid $80 for... Works great. Hoping i'll find a 10mm for even close to that in a few years..
I love hi point in the sense that they provide even the most downtrodden with the ability to defend themselves and their family. Us gun lovers may find them ugly, clunky, and cheaply built (all of which are true) but they still do their job.
especially in bear country
There is something charming about an ugly pistol (lots of people buy Glocks after all). It is kind of like owning a bulldog. 😇
I have had a high point 9mm in my boat for 15+ years. Rain, sun, humid or cold it always fires! Never jammed, no misfeeds or failure to fire. It stays loaded and only whipped down with a silicone rag when I think about it. It has always been 100% reliable. I can't ask for more! JMHO
Bought a Hi Point C 9 (9mm} in 2004 20 yrs later still have it . I used it in my work (Armed Security ) for 6 yrs It now is my bedside gun. It has always been dependable and still a great firearm.
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.
My cabbages!
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
There really isn't much to master.
Just keep adding weight until it works.
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
@@thomasa5619 interesting information. Thanks for sharing
I'm amazed to see your progress over time. You're always improving your techniques, form and delivery and I think one day soon every table is going to land upright on the first try. In five more years you'll land them balancing on one leg.
That was impressive and hilarious. I've shot a 380 hi point and never had an issue and neither did the owner. For the price one can't go wrong , especially when considering a 300.00 to 500.00 dollar in price difference with more popular pistolas. You sir are entertaining as hell, thanks for posting.
“Which is the best firearm for you?”
“The one you can afford”
I've never once meet a person who couldn't afford a gun that had one better than me...
300.00 for a high point is a joke. You can buy them all day on gunbroker and similar sight. Honestly they're extremely reiable;, but clearly wouldnt be my daily carry for obvious reasons lol
I have a Hi-Point carbine and it has run perfectly fine. It cost all of $315 and had fewer malfunctions than my AR that cost 2 1/2 times as much. The real downside is the low 10-round capacity and the horrible disassembly process. That's something that won't outweigh the low price.
For a pistol in that caliber, a Ruger Security 380 is a far better buy and worth the extra money. It's more compact, has better ergonomics, better finish, is a major brand and has more round capacity.
Hi Points look like someone made a gun from diecast pot metal and the grip of a child's toy pistol lol. Those tribal people in Pakistan make firearms that have a far higher quality finish than Hi Point has or even some KelTec guns. I even seen a anti-2A hit piece about some villagers in the Philippines who make clone 1911s from scrap metal that make Hi Points look like utter trash 😂.
I would like to say that this Hi-Point is a lifesaver definitely for people living in Alaska or Canada or anywhere where there's brown bears or dangerous animals and they can't afford an expensive pistol or rifle, this gives them an option of a reliable 10 mm they can throw some 180 grain FMJs and defend their family for $200
I never thought I'd see the day Scott would be dual wielding hi points
It was pretty rad though.
hes ambidexter, i think
I appreciate your dedication to re-standing the predator every time 😂
That first .45 into the cinder block was interesting, you don't usually get a nice clean hole with cinder blocks, usually it either does doesn't break anything, or absolutely shatters it.
It's only science if you write it down Scott, otherwise it is just screwing around 🤣
Depends What type of concrete the cinder block is made out of. Not all sender blocks or concrete are the same.
Some 255gr Underwood hardcast .45acp+p would vary a lot from some 185gr hollowpoint.
Correction... It's not science unless the results are repeatable, you can write anything you want and call it science but unless some one else can do it exactly the same and get the same results then it is not science..
eg. The time someone desided to try to prove the theory of creation by determining the age of the earth based on sedement deposit at a set rate of deposit at a single location over a time frame, he concluded that the earth was something like a couple "HUNDRED" years old... Ya his "SCIENCE" experiment said the earth came into existance somewhere around the time the USA declared independance and "NOTHING" existed before that...
True story...
Results are scientifically "BOGUS!"
@@jackn2236 Pretty sure he used "science" in a tongue-in-cheek way, or as a parody. A proper context would have been the use of the word _physics._
Any kind of recording if accurate counts!
I love my Hi-Point 995TS 9mil carbine. Had it about 12 years and never had any problems. Great warranty policy too.
I love mine as well! Look up Hi Tower Armory. I bought the OD Green bulpup conversion kit. It is bada$$.
hey Scott I just wanted to tell you, you are THE most likeable gun youtuber. even head to head with Ian for me. your vibes are really clean, honest, smart & good all at the same time!
It's 2023 and HiPoint has a 10mm out, but HK doesn't. What a time to be alive.
Hi-Point the greatest gun in history 😎
no kidding, how has HK not made a USP in 10mm. It would be the perfect freaking gun
dunno why you gun nuts bother 10 mm vs..... 11.43mm yup, the .45 is BIGGER lol
@@harleyme3163Everyone knows bigger is better!
10 mm has more velocity
Good to see you stepped up the quality of your 10mm's, the Hi Point is a thousand times more dependable than your Kimber was.
At a fraction of the price!
@@whoshotashleybabbitt4924 You got that right, you can get a 6 pack of Hi Points for the cost of one Kimber and never have to worry if they are going to work.
And better yet. When you run out of ammo they make great projectiles.
I got the 40 and the 45. Never had an issue with either one of them. Very accurate too. I got the 9mm carbine also, it shoots great!
Try stainless. It jams evert time I dare you
Hi point rocks
But not with SS.
Hi point is underrated for sure . I bought a c-9mm about 20 years ago for $80 it was my first gun still have it today and the customer service is great. They have there place for sure.
I don't care whether it's poor or not... *EVERYONE NEEDS A HAND CANNON!*
Agreed 100%
Would a flintlock techinally be a hand cannon?
Yesa
If you're considering a hi-point, just get a sccy instead.
No gun vs. a Hi-Point
Just give me the gun
As my grandfather once told me…”it’s a poor worker that blames his tools”. North of the border subscriber here, all the way up in Montreal Canada. 👍😜🇨🇦
Unless the tool is made in China.

Except for Trudeau, that tool is fully deserving of blame
Keep it up, Scott. You're putting out wonderfully entertaining content.
Scott's videos are sooo fun! I hope HE and his/dads personalities never change!
This video supports what I already knew, Hi-Point firearms are excellent overall value. I like both my 380 pistol and my 10MM Yeet Cannon, they both shoot flawlessly
I'm so confused...
I see people say yeet cannon. What exactly does this mean? When I look up Yeet Cannon it pulls up some Hi point 9mm?? Help lol
@@SC68170 ik im months late but if you still don't know yet cannon is the name of one of the hi points
Still have no intention of getting a Hi-Point any time soon, but! By all accounts, including Scott's, they've improved their product considerably in recent years. Hat off to them for it.
I did enjoy this video. You know,every time I someone test a Hi-Point,the gun performs really well. It appears they have greatly improved their build quality. They also have a great warranty.
Thanks for doing HiPoint. I have one in 380 auto, and it performs great. Nice to see a positive review.
Call hi point and ask for a new firing pin and springs they will send u two. I called and got replacement parts in a week
I've seen plenty of them that are reliable just as long as you don't drop them onto concrete too often.
@@eidtnaci dang. deffinately better than some of the bigger brands
I have a JXP, once you break in the trigger it’s very solid. Compared to my friends Glock 20, it recoils wayyy less, however it’s probably double the weight. However fully modular compared to it. Got it for $157, I have no regrets.
This might be the coolest gun video ever. that's why I love hi points they are built for fun!
I like how on the slow-mo you can see just how heavily the slide rockets backwards. Hi-points may not be light as a feather, but damn if that weight doesn't make them reliable.
Every time I see these Hi-Point videos, I'm actually impressed 90% of the time. I think its reputation may be a BIT undeserved.
We’ll they have put a lot more research to fix the problem. I say they should go after a little more expensive market and actually make something that can compete with other budget brands like CANIK and Taurus
About 98% of all complaints of hi points comes from the magazines, which for whatever reason the company has been slow to improve...the straight blowback design is inherently simple and reliable, although heavy...we have a new 995 that we are already liking, after years of debating whether to buy a hi point or not...now i'm ordering a couple extra magazines, so I guess we'll keep it...
You bet. Think as Hi-Point like the flat screen that is still bulky and blocky sold today. It'll definitely work for people who need one, no questions asked
Nah, they are ugly, bad capacity, way too heavy & made out of crap materials.
I don't think they deny that & they aren't really trying to cater to us gun guys.
What they do succeed in is being reasonably reliable.
If you aren't into guns but want something for home defense, Hi-Point is vastly better than nothing.
@@TheeabdielCanik and Taurus should no longer be put in the same category. Canik guns are now in the $500-$700. They are just as well put together as Glocks and Sigs.
Hi-Points issues mostly stem from their crappy magazines.
First handgun I ever purchased 12 years ago, still a great range gun
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.
As a retired special operator who has owned many many different guns in all calibers, I finally got rid of all of them except my Highpoint C9. I use it for hunting and fishing and whenever I'm in a gun fight, and has never let me down! ROTFLMAO! Great and entertaining video my Kentucky brother from another Mother! 👏
I also use my highpoint in gun fights regularly, weapon of choice.
Not going to lie, that's the coolest looking hi-point I've ever seen
I handled one of these at Sportsmans the other day, and I was amazed with the sheer amount of steel in that thing... 😂 You could probably make 3 or 4 regular pistols if you melted down the slide.
Not steel, pot metal.
When you run out of ammo, you can club them to ☠️.
😂😂
I bought a Highpoint 45 ACP from a friend at a very good deal.
Brought it to the range and put it through some Hell and she did not jam not even once.
I think it’s the big and bulky that people don’t like about it but it works.
Far as distance it wasn’t bad but for a affordable home defense weapon, you can’t go wrong with one at all.
As a very happy owner of a Hi-Point JXP10, I legitimately use this video to show people WHY I love the big beast so much. One of my friends actually bought one for himself after talking to me and watching this video.
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!
get the bullpup conversion for the 995, it is so much fun.
Hi Point has a great rep with me. Almost indestructible and reliable with a lifetime warranty. Best pistol out there.
😂, I’m glad it worked for you, but “best pistol out there”…that’s a slight stretch
@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.
Best is quite a stretch
@huggleskuishy Your logic is impeccable : )
.... If you only have $250 to spend. 😬
Thanks for your unbiased opinion on Hi Points. Educational and entertaining. Good work
Fkn love watching Hi-Point under super slo mo. The rail is such a brick! I've had a 9mm for 15 years and never had a jam. My 10mm YC is the way. Favorite truck guns for sure.
Have the original JHP 45, big, ugly, and works. Have the C9, and now the JHP Gen 2. The JXP 10mm gen2 is getting shipped next month. 10mm for under $200.00 amazing.
Suprisingly, all the video I saw from Hi-Point, they are pretty reliable, and undestructible.
Damnit Scott you’re the only human I’d ever let convince me to buy a flipping 10mm high point but you done twisted my arm
ive shot the 45 and 9mm and 380. the 45 was flawless. the 9mm was old and used but coule USUALLY get through a mag without an issue. the 380...... i dont think it had enough umph .. and would jam a lot...... so 10mm i expect would be pretty damn good considering frame is same as a 45. and that never gave me issue. hes tempted me too.
@@timetraveler1973 try polishing your feed ramps. that is the most common issue with hi points
The sound of the gun firing in slow mo was just beautiful.
Man, it's so satisfying to see that bullet flying through the lovely Kentucky air in slow motion. Yeeeeet! It looks like you're living your best life fo sho!
The unadulterated throwing and flawlessly impacting things had me SCREAM laughing. Love the content brother, keep it up!!
I’ve owned two hi points over the years and both of them ran flawlessly 🤷🏼
Scott as usual I was not disappointed you brought the laughter and entertainment once again and maybe these gun haters will see that with proper training and respect for the weapon can be a lot of fun thanks again keep up the great job you do.
I bought a Hi-Point second hand that had a defect from the factory. Hi-Point sent me a new pistol. Other than finding the right person to talk to, their customer service was pretty good.
I gotta say, this new JXP looks pretty badass for a hi-point. They're stepping their game up for sure! Looks like you can snag one for around $200 too, for that price its almost like you'd HAVE to buy one
It has to have the cash money print.
No thanks... I'd still pass

Not sure what you're smoking, but I would lay off if I were you.
Man with a beefy slide and ejector like that, the Hi Point 10mm has no business jamming....EVER. :P Pretty darn impressive firearm right there, Scott!
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 😂
Thank you for another 11 minutes of fun. I always wanted to try 10mm, so I bought a JXP-10. At 49 ounces, it is heavy enough to make the recoil not too horrible.
You should get the Magnum Research new 10 mm 1911. Was made by Bul Armory in Israel. Best 10 mm ever built. I'm very happy with mine. Awesome gun.
And here you have it folks! Hi Points are good reliable firearms. I have the 380 and it is a straight shooter with no problems what do ever 🤠
It certainly is the nicest looking of all of the Hi-Points I've seen and it just works. I think it was a brand-new Kimber 10mm a few years ago that Scott had never fired and I think it "You just got jammed" on every other shot!
Yup. I remember that !
yeah hi point surprises sometimes
i like em. they ain't pretty, but they work(sometimes lol)!
Yeah my kimber 10mm jammed like that until I put about 220 rounds through it. Now it runs like a dream.
Ive picked up 4 new Rugers and only my 10/22 worked out of the box. I had to send the others in for repair mini-14, LC9s and I forget the last one.
Kimber is just wall art while a hipoint is like a fat chick on a moped. Both fun to ride until your friend sees you with it.
The intro was perfect. Somehow you captured exactly how I’d feel showing up to the range to shoot a Yeet cannon.
Might get over the shame if you can put something really cool next to it
@@jacobkeltz3584 That’d work too. I’m no Gucci gun guy but those things look like they’re made out of pot metal.
Just like I don't make fun of the out of shape person at the gym (because at least they're trying to better themselves), I'll never be a snob at the range. We as 2A supporters have lots of enemies - someone with a Yeet Cannon at the range is one of us.

It would be cool to see a full video on ammo types. Not necessarily firing them, but lining them up by size and talking about them.
You should check out Paul Harrells channel I think he does a really good comparison of the two calibers.
Yeah. Intellectual presentations are not exactly this channels strong suit.
Fun fact 10mm and 1 cm are the same !
@@killerkraut9179 careful, you'll have Scotts brain smoking on fire if he reads this in the comments.
@@killerkraut9179 glad they deemed it 10mm and not 1 centimeter.
Could call it the one I guess.
Interesting to see them compared! Would love a comparison between 10mm and 9mm also, especially at medium/long range to see how it loses velocity and penetrating power with distance.
10 mm is a magnum rated cartridge, 40 Smith & Wesson is a scaled-down 10 mm in much the same way 357 and 38 special are related.
9mm and 40s&w would more the "9mm vs 10mm" comparison I think you have in mind considering 40 is a 10mm with a 1/16 inch shorter casing and less pressure......9 to 10 is a huge jump gloss over the magnum part and skip the 10mm short aka 40s&w
@@jacobishii6121 That was a really nice and comprehensible explanation.
Rather see 9mm+P(that's what I carry) or even +P+ to 10mm. I've unfortunately actually seen what 9mm+P does to a human head. It is total devastation.
He hasn't alot of older videos comparing different pistol calibers
@@RedPillAlways I keep plus P plus for some of my 9mm with solids.
Still don't compare.....you aren't just talking about a slight diameter increase it also a very large jump in bullet weight.
Unless you get ahold of some variables you're talkin about comparing apples and oranges..... Especially because 10mm ammo off the shelf is anemic at best 99% of the time.Underwood does some that are better but still not operating at full chamber pressure for the design.SAAMI cuts off at 32k or so for chamber pressure off the shelf where the 10mm was designed to run at 50k.
If you want to see I could probably dig one of my go pros out and get video when it warms up enough to shoot.
Both calibers will work well as long as the right projectiles are used. The 230 grain fmj will do better in many applications than people think.
2:39 was awesome felt like a zombie apocalypse was at hand
I been watching Scott since long ago. In the beginning Scott seemed a little bit like a stiffler I thought he was just a really serious guy. But man I hit that like button at the start of a video nowadays because he makes me laugh. It's good to see how comfortable Scott had gotten after a few uploads. Love yuh Scott you make me smile on every video.
well he is a former Kentucky State Trooper, which I believe he mentioned in one of his earlier videos if I remember correctly
I just discovered his channel literally days ago and just subbed from this vid alone. He's hilarious
It's great to see you're finally testing a quality weapon!!!
The world needs more men like Scott
I carry a Hi Point .45 ACP in my vehicle. Big, bulky, but reliable. And when I run out of ammo, I can still beat someone senseless with the slide!😂
Careful, 10mm is also the most lost, misplaced or stolen size.
I got that reference and can confirm 10mm goes to the same place my socks and gloves go
I just really enjoy his energy, showing us different firearms, spending time and money on putting this altogether. He is ALWAYS entertaining 😂
That .45 going into ballistic gel was interesting. Almost made it through, and then backed up
I absolutely love this guy's character he is playing.
Been watching him for years 😅😅😅
Well. yeah but you kind of restored my faith in .45 there, Scott. It didn't do half bad against the 10. Underwood 45 ammo is super!
@Nathaniel Shrock 10mm is actually smaller bullet wise but case length and powder amount is a pretty big difference because
the ammo I buy for my 10mm is more or less powerful then 357 magnum from the same company
The only reason it isn’t more powerful all the time is because not all bullets have the same powder amounts even from the same box
Really appreciate your humor ; I could hardly stop laughing. Yea it was the highpoint! LOL
The reason it’s so good is that they finally mad a cartridge that fits the hipoint style
Had a 9HP brick. Never cleaned it, always fired, never jammed; and it’s multi-purpose uses like hammer, boat anchor, etc, makes it priceless.
Hi-point is so legendary it's immune to RUclips channel strikes.
