Hi-Point may not be glamorous (and they may not be able to spell “muzzle”), but making functional firearms at the lowest possible price point doesn’t leave a lot of room for cocktail hours, spa treatments, and industrial designers. It looks like they do, however, listen to the gun buying market as they’ve released something many have clamored for for many years: a pistol caliber carbine in 10mm Auto. Hi-Point’s distributor’s press release and more photos of their 10mm Carbine follow . . .
New Hi-Point 10mm Semi-Auto CarbineMKS Supply, Inc., Dayton, OH, December, 2017 – New for 2018 is Hi-Point’s high-performance carbine in 10mm Auto.At only $389.99, this new carbine will shoot with much higher dollar carbines and of course will send the bullet just as fast. Hi-Point began work on this project in the spring of 2017 due to customer demand for an affordable carbine platform chambered in this powerful pistol cartridge.When a 10mm round is fired from a barrel several inches longer than a handgun, the velocity, range and energy really jumps up, making this carbine so powerful it’s even legal for big game hunting in some states.“This new carbine chambered for the potent 10mm cartridge will make a lot of buyers happy,” says MKS president Charles Brown. “Tough, reliable and accurate, it fills the bill for a robust, reliable and accurate firearm that delivers excellent performance.”SPECIFICATIONS:Model Number: 1095TSBarrel: 17.5 inches, threaded barrel (0.578x28TPI)

And a threaded barrel.
While the FBI dropped the 10mm S&W 1076 pistol they continued to use their MP5/10 in 10mm. That was a dynamite gun. They discontinued it when they switched to the M4.
Worst trigger goes to my AMT backup. Seriously it was at least 15 lb. I guess that’s okay though because you really don’t want or need a light trigger on a backup. Other than that the gun was great. Worst gun over all goes to my FMK. Got it for free as part of a promo deal and it’s worth just what I paid.
I don’t like what I read in the bill that labels magazines as firearms to get around magazine bans. Just like DC and MD calling any and all components of ammunition to be ammunition. Spent shotgun hulls, casings, primers, a sole bullet, are ammo in DC and MD.
Well I just don’t know about this thing. I remember back in the day when the first 9mm versions of the Hi-point carbines came out. I recall how sharp the kick was from them and how it would start to really sting my shoulder after a while. I wonder if this version will have similar issues, or if they’ve managed to get that sorted out fully.
But that said, I’m always down for more firearms that come in 10mm auto. |3
They really want to ban a piece of plastic that any 3d printer worth its weight can reproduce, not to mention the millions that are already out there? Yeah, good luck with that.
Give it an 18.6″ barrel and it would be legal in Canada, with maybe a little bit extra fps !
This is Denver liberals for you. Completely disregard the fact that she claimed to have an AK and was “on the way to kill cops”, Lengthy record, and acting like complete dumbass. This is the part they leave out of half of these “unarmed” people getting shot stories.
It’s all the police’s fault though. I mean, they should’ve waited longer than 1hr. They could’ve tazed her. Could’ve should’ve would’ve.
Any room for two more people in TX, Or TN?
10mm in the works? ????
No handgun caliber is better than the other and all are under powered. And no caliber is the “end all” caliber. Shot placement is more important than caliber or round count. Arguing over which caliber is “best” is pointless because what may be best for you may not be the best for someone else. What matters most is what caliber and/or weapon you shoot the best, the most accurate, and is the most comfortable to shoot. So pick a weapon and caliber that FITS YOU and practice practice practice.
I guess good thing the cops have worse aim then stormtroopers. Looks like she was suicidal and maybe high/drunk. Hopefully she gets the help she obviously need. Not sure why some are acting sad that she wasn’t killed. Maybe it turns out she is a murder, or child abuser or something, but short of being a hardened criminal, I don’t see how a suicidal person deserves to die.
She didn’t have an actual gun, or weapon and certainly by the point in time she was stopped posed no danger to the police or anyone other than herself.
Yeah, I get the way she was behaving likely lead towards officers shooting in her general direction (*snicker*)
On the other hand, the police spokesperson claiming she shot at officers first….well that sounds a LOT like officers at the scene decided to try to lie in their report to try to cover up their incompetence. Not that someone misspoke or maybe didn’t hear the non-existent gunshot.
Sounds like retraining at a minimum, and if the officers involved did report they took fire first before they shot, sounds like a lot of officers need to be finding new jobs for falsifying a police report. They might have legit thought she had a gun. Even amped on adrenalin I don’t see how they can possibly thought she shot at them first. exaggerating your report to make your use of force sound more legitimate is still falsifying your report.
Considering the number of officers involved, can we also please start issuing at least lower power binoculars to officers? 75 feet at night with lights on the vehicle might make it hard to see with the naked eye exactly what is going on, but with some 8×42 binocs someone should have been able to see exactly what was happening.
I don’t expect a single officer all on his own to sit there with binoculars trained on a suspect car trying to see if they are unarmed, or going for a gun or whatever, but when there are SEVERAL, I’d think ONE of them could be spared to be the eyes and lethal force decider.
How does one meet the “marksmanship” requirement on that list? It appears to be a requirement separate from membership in an affiliated club.
Mrs Docduracoat knows her way around a gun
We keep 2 loaded pistols downstairs and a rifle and a pistol upstairs
We draw the line on home carry as these are nearby and always ready
The kids all knew where those guns were and what awful punishment would be given if they ever touched one without permission
At age 10 each kid comes to the range and learns how to use them
Now everyone knows that anyone who needs shooting should be shot twice
No formal training for the kids, but plenty of paintball games in the abandoned apartment building gave a lotsof force on force practice
I’ve owned a number of 1911s, including Colts and both foreign and US made variants. I cannot conceive of what can be done to a pistol to warrant a price tag in the multiple thousands of dollars, but then my criteria are simple, reliability and reasonable combat accuracy.
I enjoy the sentiment but, geez, this “a man should protect me” and “women are the most responsible” nonsense baffles me. Maybe my progressiveness is showing but what’s with folks living roles?
You’re the only one who’s going to protect you. Sure, it’d be nice if somebody was around to help but the only person that will always be there when you need help is you.
re the Milwaukee story, do we know the context behind the story? Quickly looking at the Milwaukee news, it’s a litany of murder and drug dealing. I would posit that the construction crew were assigned to work in a dangerous area of town and quite logically decided to go armed. I personally would keep my firearm holstered unless imminently needed but perhaps the group posed that photo for some sort of private Facebook post that of course has since been spread far & wide.
It seems that most of the fuss is because these ‘whites’ are racist in that they feel that protection was required in a rough area of town. Therefore blacks are criminals or something…… Trying to make sense of liberal ‘logic’ sometimes makes my head hurt!
When a parent is not with the children the other parent should/must be ready to protect them from a threat. The at home parent must have the proper tools and be proficient in their use. That means training and practice. Training on different scenarios at home and potential responses….and they should have those tools on their person.
Is that extreme? Maybe in some places but now days attacks are occurring during the day in locations that were previously considered safe.
Be Prepared !

On one hand, I don’t want to criticize what I wasn’t experiencing. On the other hand, I am a LEO that is well aware of the craniorectal entrapment that occurs on calls like this, and I am also aware of the fact that most LEOs are not “gun guys/gals”, so this isn’t surprising and is kinda embarrassing.
More training needs to take place at the department level after the Academy, and if funding is an issue, even a simple tabletop session would at least spark some awareness for the less engaged officers.
When they classify the bump fire stock as a machine gun, all these poor food stamp claiming rednecks who work at Walmart making $8/hr will then have an asset that appreciates 100x because of the Hughes amendment. The problem of white poverty will be solved. This bump stock ban is all part of Trumps’ promise to MAGA.
I had the opportunity to be on his show a few years ago and he was the same guy when the cameras were rolling or not. Very easy to talk to and get along with. I have yet to shoot with him but who knows, maybe one day.
This is a man who spent eight years in the army. He should know better. He keeps saying that he has seen the damage that such “weapons of war” do and that they have no place on our streets. But the only way that his “assault weapons” ban would have any effect on wound damage (not that there are a lot of assault weapon attacks here in the Old Dominion) would be if he also got the legislature to ban all rifles firing .223/5.56 ammunition, since, as we all know, those scary cosmetics do not affect the ballistics of the bullets. I suspect that VMI and most of its alumni cringe at what the new governor. is doing.
This sounds common sense, they could let the criminals get off easy if they aren’t stealing too much. Maybe even for stealing a firearm. Why should a mistake mess up your life?
But make sure to turn the regular, law abiding citizens into criminals for some paperwork crimes against the state. How much grace will they get?
This is an old thread, but I have had my Benelli M4 for about 5 years, and i’ve long forgotten the pain of the cost. I now have a top tier weapon that I own and will serve me well the rest of my days. I also have an old Winchester pump, which is like a toy compared to the Benelli. If it’s my family’s life that is in danger, I will be awfully glad to have that M4 with 9 rounds of alternating 00 buck and PDX-1, tin my grubby paws.
Could a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 590 do the same job? Practically, for most people, yes. But I get so much confidence from my M4 that it makes a difference to me, but that is certainly just an opinion,, not a fact.
Pistol, rifle, shotgun, 9mmvs .45, SCAR vs the world, ad nauseum, we all have our opinions. I think we can agree Benelli has hit one out of the park with this one, and our economy sucks when nobody has had a real raise since 1980 and we can’t afford slightly expensive items like this. Now a Barrett .50 with a Night Force Scope requires another level of financial commitment, but people don’t seem to bitch as much about its cost. In any case, is it worth it? Benelli and Barrett!, Two thumbs up!,
Underwood extreme defender in 10mm, and this carbine as mentioned earlier has nearly 1000lb ft of energy. Plus the physics of increases velocity and hollow point effectiveness can be thrown right out the window as the extreme defender is a cnc machined nickel plated solid piece of copper that is barrier blind, has 0 chance of getting plugged when traveling through metal barriers and still maintains its devastating ballistics on the target. The round stays supersonic in tissue and creates a hydrodynamic shock wave making the wound channel larger than any hollow point on the market, and the wound track is as long as the fbi standard for penetration….this is with there 9mm 65g +p at 1800fps, and their bad boy 9mm 90g +p+ which makes 2a body armor a laughing matter. At 480 lb ft. Just think what the 10mm out of this carbine will do. 2-3 in wound channels all the way through a bad dude feeling invincible in 2a armor. Sorry sir you picked the wrong day to be brave. CANOE CITY.
when they get the price down like the 9mm I will buy one The price is falling I seen the 10 mm for $329.99 the 9mm usually goes for 279.99
