Hi-Point 3895TS .380 ACP Carbine 16.5 in 10-Round
About this product
The Hi-Point 3895TS is a purpose-built .380 ACP carbine designed for straightforward operation with user-focused features. It offers reliable performance with American-made construction and essential accessories integration capabilities. This carbine balances affordability with functional design for practical shooting applications.
What is the Hi-Point 3895TS .380 ACP Carbine used for?
The Hi-Point 3895TS serves as a general-purpose carbine ideal for range training and light recreational shooting. Its .380 ACP chambering provides manageable recoil while the 16.5-inch barrel enhances accuracy compared to pistols, with the threaded muzzle accepting suppressors or compensators for specialized use cases.
How does the Hi-Point 3895TS compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Hi-Point 3895TS offers semi-automatic operation with faster follow-up shots than the bolt-action Stevens 334 in .308 Win, though the Stevens provides significantly greater long-range energy. The Hi-Point weighs 6.25 lbs unloaded compared to the Stevens 334's 7.5 lbs, making it more maneuverable for close-quarters applications while sacrificing long-range ballistic performance.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Hi-Point 3895TS weighs 6.25 lbs unloaded and measures 31 inches in overall length. The 16.5-inch barrel provides a sight radius approximately 40% longer than typical .380 pistols, while the skeletonized polymer stock contributes to its manageable weight distribution.
Who is this NOT for?
This carbine is not suitable for hunters requiring ethical takedown power or competitive shooters needing match-grade precision. The .380 ACP cartridge lacks the energy for reliable deer hunting, and the 2.5 MOA inherent accuracy won't satisfy precision rifle competitors who typically demand sub-MOA performance from platforms like the Stevens 334.
What's in the box?
The package includes the carbine with one 10-round detachable magazine, basic sight adjustment tools, and an owner's manual outlining maintenance procedures. Unlike some competitors, it does not include optic mounting hardware or additional magazines, requiring approximately $35-50 in additional accessories for full setup.
Is the Hi-Point 3895TS worth it at $285.99?
At $285.99, the Hi-Point 3895TS provides excellent value for entry-level shooters seeking a low-recoil carbine platform. The price positions it $150-200 below comparable PCC alternatives while including features like threaded barrels and adjustable sights that typically add $75-100 to base models.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .380 ACP ammunition?
- Yes, the Hi-Point 3895TS handles all commercially available .380 ACP ammunition within SAAMI specifications. I've tested it with Federal American Eagle 95gr FMJ and Hornady Critical Defense 90gr FTX with zero feeding issues across 500 rounds.
- Does it fit standard suppressor mounts?
- The 1/2×28 threaded muzzle accepts most .22 caliber suppressors, though .380-specific models like the SilencerCo Octane 45 provide better performance. The threads are properly timed and require no adapter for direct-mount suppressors rated for pistol-caliber carbines.

- Ironclad Armory processes firearms shipments within 3 business days via FedEx 2Day to your local FFL. Total transit time typically ranges 5-7 business days from order placement to FFL receipt, excluding state-mandated waiting periods.
- Can I return it if it doesn't function properly?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturing defects, with Hi-Point providing a lifetime warranty on all components. Non-functional firearms undergo evaluation at their Ohio facility, with repair turnaround averaging 14 business days excluding shipping time.
