The Hi-Point 995TS Carbine delivers reliable 9mm performance in a lightweight, affordable package that accepts standard Glock magazines. This semi-automatic carbine bridges the gap between pistol portability and rifle accuracy for home defense and recreational shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional carbines that require proprietary magazines, the 995TS accepts widely available Glock 17/19 magazines, reducing ammunition costs and increasing parts availability. The blow-back operating system eliminates gas system maintenance while the polymer stock construction keeps the overall weight under 7 pounds. Hi-Point's lifetime warranty coverage extends to original and subsequent owners, providing long-term value protection.
