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 carbine features a 16.5-inch barrel and accepts the same magazines as Hi-Point's C-9 pistol series.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional carbines that require expensive proprietary magazines, the 995TS uses widely available Hi-Point pistol magazines, reducing long-term operating costs. The all-steel receiver construction provides durability typically found in firearms costing significantly more. The carbine's simple blowback action eliminates complex gas systems, resulting in fewer parts to maintain and reduced potential failure points.
Key Features
- 16.5-inch steel barrel with 1:10 twist rate for 9mm projectile stabilization
- All-weather polymer stock resists moisture and temperature extremes
- Internal recoil buffer system reduces felt recoil and bolt slam
- Fully adjustable sights with protective ears for accuracy and durability
- Magazine compatibility with Hi-Point C-9 pistol magazines
- Last round bolt hold-open feature for faster reloads
- Sling swivel studs installed for carrying strap attachment
The 995TS functions reliably with standard pressure 9mm ammunition from 115 to 147 grain weights. The carbine's 16.5-inch barrel extracts additional velocity from 9mm cartridges compared to handgun-length barrels, improving downrange performance for small game hunting or property defense applications. The polymer furniture maintains zero shift in temperature variations from -20°F to 120°F.
