The Hi-Point 995P carbine delivers reliable 9mm performance in a compact platform designed for versatility and customization. This semi-automatic carbine features a threaded barrel and multiple Picatinny rails for mounting accessories, making it suitable for recreational shooting and home defense applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional rifles, the 995P operates on straight blowback action with fewer moving parts than gas-operated systems. The polymer receiver construction reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity. The threaded muzzle accommodates suppressors and muzzle devices, while dual Picatinny rails provide mounting options for optics and accessories that many budget carbines lack.
Key Features
- 13.25-inch threaded barrel with 1/2x28 thread pitch for muzzle device compatibility
- Black powder-coated polymer receiver with integrated trigger guard
- Top and rear Picatinny rails for optics and accessory mounting
- 10+1 capacity with Hi-Point proprietary magazine system
- Straight blowback operation with minimal maintenance requirements
- Adjustable sights with ghost ring rear aperture
- Internal recoil buffer system reduces felt recoil
The carbine's straight blowback action cycles reliably with standard 9mm ammunition from 115 to 147 grain weights. The 13.25-inch barrel length provides improved velocity over handguns while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces. Weather-resistant finish protects against corrosion during outdoor use, and the simple operating system requires minimal field stripping for cleaning.
