Key Features
- Factory-Mounted Crimson Trace Red Dot Sight — Why it matters: You get an out-of-the-box aiming solution that speeds up target acquisition without the hassle of mounting and zeroing a separate optic. This setup is ready to run the minute you open the box.
- Threaded 16.5-Inch Barrel (1/2×28) — Why it matters: The threaded muzzle lets you attach a suppressor or compensator for reduced recoil and noise. It gives you the flexibility to customize the carbine for your shooting style or range requirements.
- Skeletonized All-Weather Polymer Stock — Why it matters: The stock is lightweight and resistant to moisture, heat, and cold. It won’t warp or crack in harsh conditions, so this carbine stays reliable whether you’re at the indoor range or out in the field.
- Adjustable Iron Sights — Why it matters: If the red dot ever fails or the battery dies, you have a backup sighting system you can zero to your preference. It keeps you on target no matter what.
- 10-Round Detachable Magazine — Why it matters: The magazine is easy to load and swap, giving you quick reloads at the range. It also complies with capacity restrictions in states that limit magazine size.
Who It’s For
This carbine is a great fit for new gun owners who want a simple, reliable 9mm platform that’s easy to shoot and maintain. It also works well for families looking for a home-defense firearm that’s manageable for smaller-statured shooters. Plinkers and recreational shooters will appreciate the low-recoil 9mm round and the included red dot for fast, fun shooting at the range.

FAQ

Can I use +P ammunition in this carbine?
Hi-Point does not recommend using +P or +P+ ammunition in the 995TS. Stick with standard 9mm Luger loads to ensure proper function and avoid excessive wear on the action.
Does the Crimson Trace red dot sight hold zero?
Yes, the factory-mounted Crimson Trace sight is secured with a sturdy mount and holds zero well under normal use. You should still verify zero after mounting, but it’s ready to shoot out of the box.
What accessories fit the threaded barrel?
