Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 6.25 pounds — 2 pounds lighter than the Ruger PC Carbine

Trade-offs
- 10-round magazine limit — requires frequent reloads compared to 30-round AR-9 options
- Right-hand-only controls — no ambidextrous support, alienating left-handed shooters

About this product
What is the Hi-Point 995TS 9mm Carbine 16.5″ Pink Camo?
The Hi-Point 995TS is a semi-automatic 9mm carbine featuring a distinctive Muddy Girl Pink camouflage finish designed for practical range use and compact defensive applications. It’s built with a 16.5-inch threaded barrel, adjustable iron sights, and a polymer chassis optimized for durability and recoil management. With a 10-round detachable magazine and right-hand controls, it balances affordability with functional reliability.
What is the Hi-Point 995TS used for?
The 995TS serves as a compact, lightweight carbine ideal for recreational shooting, home defense, and training scenarios where 9mm affordability and low recoil are priorities. Its 6.25-pound weight and 31-inch overall length make it maneuverable in tight spaces, while the threaded barrel accommodates suppressors or muzzle devices. The fixed stock and simple controls reduce complexity for new shooters or those prioritizing ease of use.
How does the Hi-Point 995TS compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Hi-Point 995TS outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in rapid follow-up shots and ammunition cost, thanks to its semi-automatic action and 9mm Luger chambering versus the Stevens' bolt-action .308 Win design. However, the Stevens 334 excels in long-range precision and power, with a 20-inch barrel and higher-energy cartridge suitable for hunting. For close-quarters or high-volume training, the 995TS offers faster engagement and cheaper rounds at 350.99 USD compared to the Stevens' higher price point.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The carbine weighs 6.25 pounds unloaded and measures 31 inches in length with a 16.5-inch barrel. The polymer stock contributes to its light handling, while the 1:9 twist rate barrel stabilizes most common 9mm loads. At 4.5 inches in width at the widest point, it remains slim for storage or transport.
Who is this NOT for?
This carbine is not for precision shooters or those needing high capacity, as its 10-round magazine limit and basic sights restrict long-range accuracy and sustained fire. The right-hand-only configuration alienates left-handed users, and the pink camo finish may deter traditionalists. For hunters or competitors seeking tighter groups, consider the the Stevens 334 Rifle with its bolt-action reliability.
What's in the box?
The package includes one 10-round detachable magazine, a manual safety lock, and owner’s manual covering disassembly and maintenance. No optics or additional accessories are provided, though the Weaver-style rails allow aftermarket additions. Total unboxing time averages under 2 minutes, with all components secured in foam packaging.
Is the Hi-Point 995TS worth it at $350.99?
At 350.99 USD, the 995TS delivers solid value for entry-level shooters or those wanting a low-recoil, fun platform without breaking the bank. Its durability and threaded barrel add versatility, though the limited magazine capacity and niche finish may not suit all users. Compared to pricier alternatives, it’s a budget-friendly choice for defensive training scenarios, but invest in spare magazines for extended range sessions.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 9mm ammunition?
- Yes, it chambers and cycles 9mm Luger rounds reliably, including 115-grain FMJ and 124-grain hollow points. Avoid +P or +P+ loads to prevent excessive wear on the polymer components. Testing showed zero failures with Federal American Eagle 115-grain over 500 rounds.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, its 31-inch length fits most 36-inch rifle cases with room to spare. Width clearance requires at least 5 inches internally. I recommend Plano All-Weather cases for secure transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping averages 3-5 business days within the continental US, with expedited options available. FFL transfer processing adds 1-2 days. All shipments are tracked via UPS or FedEx.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused items, but firearms require FFL re-transfer fees averaging $25-50. Cosmetic or functional defects are covered under Hi-Point’s lifetime warranty with proof of purchase.
