Hi-Point 995P 9mm 13.25in Threaded Barrel M81 Brace Camo
About this product
The Hi-Point 995P 9mm 13.25in Threaded Barrel M81 Brace Camo is a carbine-style pistol designed around Hi-Point's blowback action in a non-rifle configuration, featuring a threaded 13.25-inch barrel and an M81 camo finish. This configuration keeps the overall length under the NFA's 26-inch threshold while providing a stable brace interface. It ships with a 10-round magazine and uses a simple, proven operating system that prioritizes mechanical reliability over modern ergonomic refinement.
What is the Hi-Point 995P 9mm 13.25in Threaded Barrel M81 Brace Camo used for?
This platform is used as a compact, low-recoil 9mm training tool or a suppressor host, not for duty or serious defense. The 13.25-inch barrel provides a significant velocity gain over a handgun—expect roughly 150-200 feet per second more than from a 4-inch pistol barrel—making it effective for steel target work out to 75 yards. The M81 camo and threaded muzzle position it for users interested in a retro-styled range toy that can accept a suppressor without requiring an immediate NFA Form 1.
How does the Hi-Point 995P compare to a Kel-Tec SUB-2000?
The Hi-Point 995P is better for suppressor use due to its factory-threaded barrel, while the Kel-Tec SUB-2000 folds to a more compact 16-inch package for transport. The 995P's 13.25-inch barrel is permanently fixed to the receiver, whereas the SUB-2000 uses a 16-inch barrel in a folding design. For a direct, non-NFA 9mm carbine, the Stevens 334 bolt-action offers a completely different manual operation but higher inherent accuracy potential.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Hi-Point 995P weighs 5.8 pounds unloaded and measures 20.75 inches in overall length with the brace collapsed. Its height from the top rail to the bottom of the pistol grip is 7.5 inches, and the width across the receiver at the Picatinny rail is 1.75 inches. The 13.25-inch barrel has a 1/2x28 thread pattern, providing a 0.625-inch threaded section for direct-mount muzzle devices.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not for anyone seeking modern modularity, high magazine capacity, or refined trigger performance. The proprietary 10-round magazine is a hard limit, and the trigger pull typically measures a gritty 8-9 pounds. If you require a more traditional rifle platform for hunting or precision work, a centerfire bolt-action like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win delivers superior ballistic performance.
What's in the box?
You receive the pistol with the brace attached, one 10-round 9mm magazine, a set of sling swivels, and a basic owner’s manual. No tools, optic, or case are included. The rear ghost ring sight is installed but requires a 5/64-inch hex wrench for windage adjustment, a tool you must supply.
Is the Hi-Point 995P worth it at $373.99?
At $373.99, this pistol is worth it strictly as an economical suppressor host or a straightforward range carbine, not as a primary defensive firearm. You are paying for a functional, threaded-barrel 9mm platform with a stabilizing brace, a configuration that would cost over $500 to build from most other components. The value is in its complete, ready-to-shoot form; just understand you’re getting a tool, not a refined weapon system.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel thread protected?
- No, the 1/2x28 threads are exposed. You must use a thread protector or muzzle device to prevent damage. A standard 1/2x28 aluminum protector from Brownells or Midwest Industries will fit.
- Does it accept Glock magazines?
- No. The Hi-Point 995P uses proprietary 10-round single-stack magazines. No aftermarket high-capacity options exist due to the firearm's internal geometry.
- Is the brace adjustable?
- No. The included brace is a fixed-length design with a single position. The overall length from the end of the buffer tube to the trigger is a fixed 13.5 inches.
- Can the barrel be removed?
- No. The 13.25-inch barrel is permanently pinned and welded to the receiver housing as part of the pistol's classification. Any attempt to remove it would constitute manufacturing an unregistered Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) under the NFA.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- Ironclad Armory processes online orders within 2 business days. Transit time varies by carrier, but expect 3-7 business days for ground service to your selected Federal Firearms License holder.
