10mil is basically a .41 mag in auto design. 36000 psi or so. I'm not sure I'd trust a hipoint to handle that pressure level.
Skinny is my EX.Alcohol was involved.

….I'm not sure I'd trust a hipoint to handle that pressure level. This is my thinking as well. The good thing is, when it breaks, they will give a new one

I had one in 9mm and it was very accurate and reliable out to 40-50 yards That's as far as it was accurate?? I understand we are talking about a Hi-Point, but if 50 yards was as far as it's accurate, it may as well be a pistol. Well, a more expensive pistol. Their pistols aren't accurate past about 10 yards

They ain't the prettiest one nor the high priced one but it will go bang when you engage the switch and is accurate.

Based on my admittedly limited research, they actually seem to get pretty good reviews...

Honestly, every one of the pistols I've worked on, were due to small part failures although, I have seen one 9mm with a cracked frame.
They go bang and for the most part are reliable, but I have a hard time warming up to a gun that's major components like the slide and frame are made from zinc alloy (pot metal).

I had one in 9mm and it was very accurate and reliable out to 40-50 yards Same here. Bought mine used and it had a problem with the trigger not re-setting after each shot occasionally. They fixed it quickly and gave me some freebie stuff. I'm pretty sure they just sent me a new gun with the same receiver and barrel. Way more accurate than a handgun all things equal. 1.5 - 2" at 50 yards from a rest. Never shot it at paper any farther.
