    Default Hi-Point 995TS

    ...Thoughts?

    I have a friend who I go to the range with every week and he brought one in for show and tell. It was a blast to shoot.

    I understand they are one of the most (if not THE most) inexpensive carbines on the market, so with that usually comes caveats.

    Anyone have any experience with the Hi-Point 9mm carbine? Worth the money, or should I save up more and get something different? Right now, I only have handguns, so this will be a first.

    My dad has one. We've got about 2,000 rounds through it with zero problems whatsoever. Extremely reliable. Hi-Point has an excellent customer service reputation and their lifetime warranty is unparalleled. He needed some parts to mount a laser and a red-dot scope on it. Hi-Point sent them no questions asked for free and threw in two magazines. Accuracy is minute of 1 gallon milk jug at 100 yards. Probably a little better than that, but we've never shoot it for precise accuracy. They're tremendous fun and worth every penny.

    Nice to know, thanks! I believe the one I shot had the red dot scope on it. Glad to hear their customer service is great.

    I have shot one before. Almost bought one. I liked it and yes, for the price, I think it is pretty decent.

    Wow, we agree wholeheartedly on something.

    The Hi-Points are as ugly as homemade sin, and ergos are a bit... funky... but I've never seen a broken one.

    Same goes for their handguns.

    Good American owned, American operated company, with superlative customer service, and a very inexpensive, nearly indestructible product.

    Very, very hard to go wrong.

    Though, shooting/owning one is like riding a fat girl or a moped, you might not want your friends seeing you doing so.

    Dan;

    As per the handguns, I have a buddy back in central VA that bought the first one that came into the local shop. This is going on 10 years ago now. He bought the pistol, and a couple boxes of Winchester white-box JHPs. He never even bothered cleaning the grease out, just bought it, pulled it out of the box, loaded it and started shooting. The first box went into targets, and the second box and the pistol went into the farm truck.

    For nearly 10 years, that pistol has, literally, lived on the floor boards of a cattle farm truck. There is no finish left due to sliding, skidding, bouncing around on all the stuff that accumulates in those floor boards, and no rust due to the same and the frequency of being bounced. The dog has chewed it at least once or twice. The sights are... beaten up. It's never unloaded. And, it's never had a failure. It's shot everything from dirt clods, turtles, beer cans, 'coons, 'possums, foxes, dogs, cats, sick/hurt cows, deer, 'yotes, crows, and Lord only knows what. Literally thousands of rounds through it, and never been cleaned, and never failed in any respect.

    Frankly, that ONE earned my respect for the design, and no others have lost it.

    The carbines, from experience and through those I respect, are every bit as good.

    We have sold literally hundrerds of Hi-Points and we have only had one malfunction. A spring broke in the slide. The customer brought it in on Sunday, we sent it out on Monday, and it was back on Friday with 2 free clips for the inconvience. I wish all companies had the customer service that Hi-Point does.

    Thanks for all the tips guys!! I think I'll look for one ASAP (or order it online). I checked Tall Tales in Russell today and they haven't been able to get one in stock in over a year!
