Google search isn't helping much on locating them. Just looking for some in sight here, I think it's a good idea to have a rifle and a couple of pistols all using the same ammo. I am also looking into the Taurus Millinium Pro in .40 S&W to...for the times I am outside of the People's Republic of Illinois where CCW is legal. |
You can probably find the review at the
Gun Tests online website, but I'll cut to the chase. They slammed the Beretta Storm and were lukewarm about the Ruger, but they loved the Hi-Point 4095 Carbine and gave it their highest rating.
Like many in this forum, they thought it looked a trifle odd and did not like the bolt handle much. On the other hand, it digested everything they loaded it with and was fun to shoot, especially after they attached the optional compensator. If you are looking for a knockabout camp gun or a reliable survival scenario weapon that isn't going to break the bank, you've found it. (It's not unheard-of to find them new in box at around $200.)
However, like Big Dog, I'm holding out for the .45 ACP version - unless Slick Hillary gets elected, at which point I'll grab a 995 if I can find one.
