Hi-Point 995 9mm carbine

Recommended Posts

Does anybody have experience with one of these? Thoughts/impressions, etc.? Do they jam often? Are the magazines easy to get, etc.

 

Is $185 a good price for a used one?

but you are stuck with the 10rd factory mags right? I saw ProMag made some 15rd ones but they're out of stock everywhere and a few sites say they're no longer in production...

 

also is the foregrip version legal in new jersistan?

Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster. I have the 995 ts carbine in 9mm. My kit contained a folding front grip, sling, and two ten round magazines. the carbine is rock solid, I tried running crap ammo through it and it ate everything no issues whatsoever. The accuracy is actually pretty decent. My suggestion would be to remove the irons and put on a good red dot optic and take the time to dial it in. Another suggestion is to make sure you know it's operation, it's easy to short bus the loading and charging of the carbine if you don't pay attention or rush through it. Bottom line, it's a very solid gun I shoot it very very often with ZERO issues.

My personal experience: I bought one brand new. Magazine wouldn't seat properly in the gun. Take it to range, can't get the thing to fire. Mail it back to Hi-point they end up replacing everything internally. Get it back, test it and everything seems to work okay. It's a Hi-point after all, throw it in the back of the safe and haven't looked at it in months.

 

I recently found (2) 10rounders at Heritage Guild in Easton.

    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
