it lookes pretty good i wonder if it's gonna come with the new front sight too.i am gonna try and pickup a few stock kits for shotguns and other rifles i don't even own yet because you never know when you'll come across that gun or buy one in the neear banned future.

I've got a C-9 in 9mm Luger. Does the 995 use the same mag and ammo?

[TexasD]

Yes they will use the same ammo but it is my understanding that the mags on the 995 and C9 will not interchange.

[Yogi]

Thanks. I found a pawn shop that has a dozen on order that should be here before Christmas. I'm in!

I bought a used 995 HiPoint awhile back for $149. Haven't put more than 30 rds thru it, but it works well so far. It seems these are better guns than one might believe. I think the looks of the thing would scare off a cretin, or make him laugh so hard, he'd lose control of the situation! I have 3 factory mags, loaded with Federal +P+ 115 HP's; supposedly they are ok for occasional use in these guns.

i look back at this gun website and think man the guys here really talked bad about the poor little gun . but if you look at it now everyone seems to be trying to find one.lmao. seems like the ugly guns are catchy.

^A+ Im waiting for 45ACP carbine too but am going to check out some of the others as the price is right with this manufacturer.

[EviL]

mine was $215 otd. they are pretty ugly, but can be made to look pretty good if your willing to spend a little more cash. definitely worth buying one. I almost bought another one a couple days ago. there was an ad in the paper for a used 995 with 4 clips for $125. I emailed the guy, but it was already sold. probably could have got it for $100-110.

That is the model I want, the big 230 grain fmj. What kind of increace in velocity do you expect ? 5 inch barrel=870 fps 16.5 inch barrel ?

There's not much gain in pistol calibers in a 16.5 " bbl. I saw a test in some gun rag, involving the 9mm in this case. They fired a pistol and a carbine(don't remember the makes); carbine only gained a few fps. Now, if your dealing with magnum revolver cartridges, there is a large gain in a carbine.

Like I said, that's the prototype of the soon-to-be-(if ever)-released Hi-Point 4595 carbine in .45 acp. At the moment, it's made of unobtainium.

It took me a sec, but when I finally got it I damn near spit coffee on my damn monitor.. ThankS Rondog!! i neeeded that!

[tommy]

the one thing you will notice about highpoint is highpoint will recoil straight back and all other handguns will recoils upwards that extra weight that highpoint puts into their guns pays off .now the c9.9mm highpoint will recoil upwards because of it's short size but it's still better than most other makes.

Big gain in accuracy and fun factor though!

[rondog]

I'd still like to hear from somebody that's put a suppressor on a H-P carbine! Yeah, I know a can costs like 3-4 times as much as the gun, but I'd like one! I just wonder how noisy the action is, since it's so beefy.

The .45 was designed to operate from a 5" barrel. Many loads start coasting before leaving the barrel,causeing less spped than from a shorter barrel,unless you used +p's,etc. .40 will have a significant increase of speed from the 16" barrel,much like the 9mm. Perhaps that is the reason more carbines are not chambered for the .45.

[blindmage]

I'm waiting for the 4595, but I'll settle for the 4095 to beat a ban.

I like my ape gun!! what more can i say?

This site tells you exactly what you want to know:

Ballistics by the inch

If you read any of my posts in the General Handgun forum you will see I am not ny any means a High Point fan but I would get one of their carbines. I still hold my position that their pistols are crap but their carbines have a great reputation. I will probably get one if I ever see one for sale. They are tough to come by but I want one.
