Hi-Point has a new affordable 10mm pistol called the JXP 10. The company has a reputation for producing unrefined and visually unappealing but reliable and budget-friendly guns. The JXP 10 follows that tradition.

With an MSRP of around $225 it’s probably the least expensive 10mm pistol on the market. If you’re the person looking for an inexpensive 10mm pistol, you now have an option.
 

The first thing one notices is that it’s big and heavy. Very heavy. The straight blowback design requires a lot of mass in the slide to counteract the pressures and recoil of a 10mm cartridge. On the plus side, the weight should help mitigate the typically snappy recoil of 10mm. 
 

The JXP 10 utilizes 10-round magazines, and these mags are cross-compatible with Hi-Point’s already popular 1095 carbine, which is a big plus. The 3-dot irons sights are surprisingly good and fully adjustable. The front sight is compatible with Glock front sights so other options are readily available. You can also mount an optic if you see fit. The barrel comes threaded and the slide will lock open on an empty mag. Grips are textured and the slide has forward and rear serrations. There is a somewhat awkward thumb safety.
 

My biggest complaint has got to be the trigger. It’s not great. But the biggest pro is that it comes with a ‘no-questions ask’ lifetime warranty. I mean, really, what more can you ask for $225?
