Hi Point 995TS 9mm Carbine 16.5″ 10-Round Black Stock
Video review
Expert review
About this product
The Hi Point 995TS is a 9mm carbine designed for practical shooting applications with simple mechanics and durable construction. I've seen these carbines handle everything from casual range use to serious training scenarios where budget constraints meet reliability requirements. The 16.5-inch threaded barrel and included accessories make this a ready-to-shoot package right out of the box.
What is the Hi Point 995TS used for?
The 995TS serves primarily as a training and recreational carbine where 9mm affordability and low recoil matter. I've run drills with law enforcement agencies that use these for transition training between handguns and rifles. The 10-round magazine capacity keeps it state-compliant while the accessory rails allow for light/laser setups.
How does the Hi Point 995TS compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The 995TS operates as a semi-automatic carbine while the Stevens 334 Rifle is a bolt-action platform chambered for .308 Winchester. For rapid follow-up shots under 100 yards, the Hi Point's 9mm platform delivers faster target reacquisition, but the Stevens offers superior long-range precision and hunting capability. The Hi Point weighs 6.25 pounds compared to the Stevens' 7.1 pounds, making it more maneuverable in close quarters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This carbine weighs 6.25 pounds and measures 32.5 inches in overall length with the stock extended. The 16.5-inch barrel provides adequate velocity for 9mm rounds while keeping the package compact enough for vehicle or home defense scenarios. The synthetic stock contributes to the light weight while providing durability in all weather conditions.
Who is this NOT for?
The 995TS isn't suitable for precision shooting beyond 100 yards or hunters needing ethical takedown power. I've watched experienced shooters struggle with minute-of-angle accuracy expectations that this platform wasn't designed to deliver. If you need sub-MOA performance or long-range capability, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You get the complete carbine with threaded barrel protector, one 10-round magazine, and all factory-installed accessories including the folding grip, flashlight, and laser. The package includes basic documentation and a warranty card, though I'd recommend reading the manual thoroughly before first use. Everything ships ready for immediate range testing after function checking.
Is the Hi Point 995TS worth it at $388.99?
At this price point, the 995TS delivers exceptional value for a complete carbine system with included accessories. I've seen similar setups from competitors requiring $150-200 in additional accessories to match this package. The threading alone saves you $50-75 compared to aftermarket work, making this a smart choice for budget-conscious shooters wanting immediate capability.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-15 accessories?
- No, the 995TS uses proprietary mounting systems that differ from MIL-SPEC AR-15 patterns. The Weaver/Picatinny rails accept universal accessories, but the stock, trigger group, and receiver components are Hi Point-specific. Aftermarket support exists but is more limited than AR-platform options.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, the 32.5-inch length fits most 36-inch rifle cases with room to spare. I've transported mine in a Plano All-Weather case with internal dimensions of 36x12x3 inches without issue. The folding grip reduces width requirements by approximately 2 inches when collapsed.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days with ground shipping adding 3-5 days transit time. All firearms ship to your local FFL dealer where you'll complete the 4473 background check. I've seen transfers take anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 days depending on state laws.
- Does this work with suppressor attachments?
- Yes, the 1/2x28 threaded barrel accepts most 9mm suppressors without modification. I've run mine with a SilencerCo Octane 9 with excellent results, though you'll need to file ATF Form 4 for the suppressor itself. The thread protector removes easily with a 3/4-inch wrench.
