The Hi-Point 995TS Carbine delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in 9mm Luger with an affordable price point that makes centerfire carbine ownership accessible. This straight-blowback operated rifle combines a 16.5-inch barrel with a 10-round magazine capacity for versatile shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional carbines that require expensive proprietary magazines, the 995TS accepts readily available Hi-Point pistol magazines, reducing long-term operating costs. The all-weather polymer stock resists moisture and temperature extremes better than wood alternatives. Hi-Point's lifetime warranty covers the original purchaser for manufacturing defects, providing long-term value protection.
