Project Best Millimeter: SIG/GrayGuns vs Hi-Point 10mm (ad-free)
🕑 Added 2023-05-05 12:00:03 +0000 UTCThanks to Otis Technology for sponsoring this video!
When I heard about Hi-Point releasing a 10mm pistol (the JXP 10), I knew I needed to do something fun with it. Hi-Point is often derided - and often for good reasons - but fundamentally the Hi-Point design does exactly what it is advertised to. It is a functional and extremely inexpensive pistol. The company has been making essentially the same gun for 25+ years, and they have build a very efficient manufacturing process that allows them to offer a gun that is safe and pretty reliable for a ridiculously low price point. Of course, it does sacrifice a lot of niceties in the process, but that is the tradeoff for the cost.
Anyway, the question for today is: Who would win in a fight, one GrayGuns custom SIG P220 Elite or six Hi-Point JXP-10s? Let's find out!
Test 1: Accuracy
Test 2: Reload speed
Test 3: Mud
Test 4: SPINNER SUDDEN DEATH!
Disclosure: Bruce Gray of GrayGuns provided the P220 Elite on loan; it has been returned to him. Hi-Point donated the six JXP 10s because let's be honest, they can't really be resold after that mud bath and the cost of shipping them back is more than their MSRP anyway. We have some ideas for fun future use of them...

Hi Point got one up on you: They'll hand stamp "Ian Special" on the slide and sell them as collectables at $1000 each.

I think Hi Point was really smart sending you those Pistols they knew they would loose but you did highlight some amazing positives with their weapon cost, customer service and the thing that surprised me, they fired after being in the mud, I did not expect them to fire at all. How bad was the mud on the Hi Points? Did a lot get in or was it just a bit?

A Sig P220 vs six Yeet Cannons...a great race, indeed!

This video is silly and I love it

Your observation that a used Sig mag costs more than a new Hi-Point made me chuckle.

Music, dynamic transitions, fancy graphics? You are not the indie production guntuber anymore, Ian. Kudos, nice!👍

Did Mike @garandthumb lend you his lab coat? Random thoughts: 1. Might be interesting to see how the "mid-price" guns do: the 320 X10, the Springfield, the Smith, and the Glock. 2. And what if the 220's hammer had been manually cocked instead of using DA after the mud bath? 3. Finally, recoil aside, is there any engineering/material reason the 220 could not be built with an aluminum frame, including a 15-shot version?

Wow $225. And with all American-made parts too.
Ok, thank you.

No, I just missed one.

What exactly is the price point of the JXP-10? And is it more or less than a box of 10mm ammo? 😁
Hello, i wanted to know if you stopped the Apocrypha videos ? Thank you.
