A coworker of mine asked me if I would be interested in purchasing his Hi-Point 9mm Carbine he had. He is moving and just doesn't want to bring it with him. He says it looks like the one pictured before and has two 10rd magazine to go with it and a sling.
He also says it is pretty accurate as well. He is asking $150.00 for it, is that a good price?
Can anyone tell me what model it is from the picture above?
That is the older 995 model. The new model is the 995 TS (tactical stock). $150.00 is fare with 2 Mag. I paid $289.00 for my 995 TS and $21.00 for the mag.
That's an excellent price, especially with 2 magazines. Grab it before he sobers up and asks you for what it's really worth.
If you don't like the 'Planet of the Apes' look, ATI makes an aftermarket stock that makes a Model 995 look like a Beretta CX-4 Storm carbine. I'd also add the Hi-Point 9mm compensator to it; it does improve performance, according to Gun Tests.
You're being offered a seriously good deal on one of the most reliable guns on the market. Buy it already!
Thanks guys. I may just pick it up, because I already shoot 9mm, so it isn't costing me money to pick up another caliber.
From the way it sounds he bought it used at a gun show from a kid that had it slinged on his back and paid $150 then for it. I will see if he will let me test fire it or not.
Just remember it has a life time warrenty no matter who owns it. Just send it in and they fix it. My bro send in a C-9 pistol that jammed up it came back like New.

Thanks, it might be worth it then if the warranty moves from owner to owner.

Not to thread hijack, but I have both the older 995 as well as the 995 TS. I really like the looks of the TS, but it slaps the heck out of my cheek when I shoot it. Have you had that experience?
To the original poster, I say definitely get the carbine for 150 bucks!!!

lowercase, nope never have had it slap me. I've only firered the 995 one time it was my bro's gun. That were I got the bug for Hi-point (maybe your gun don't like you)
im actually gona pick one up next week. the gun shop i go to has a 995ts for 180 with two mags and a red dot. its used but the previous owner probably only shot it a few times. i had one a couple of years ago with an aftermarket stock it was a great gun. i could shoot the top off v-8 bottles with a nikon prostaff 4x30. they just came out with a new carbine two its a 4595
