​Affordable not Cheap: 10 Reasons to own a Hi Point 995TS 9mm Carbine

If you think carbines that chamber pistol cartridges are radical and new in firearm design, consider that this idea started in the early 1800’s. The Winchester 1873 is a great example. As settlers crossed our nation, they needed to cut weight and space. Supplies thinned as they headed west and therefore it made sense to have a rifle in the same caliber as their pistol.  

The designers at Hi Point took note of the practicality and designed the Model 995 which was introduced in the 1990’s. This blowback operated 9mm took the market by storm and is still sold to this day. In 2009, Hi Point introduced the Model 995TS which features an improved stock and a last round hold open feature.

The Hi Point 995TS 9mm carbine is a go anywhere working man’s rifle. These reliable rifles carry a lifetime warranty and are made right here in the USA. Made for serious hard work and with less emphasis on eye appeal the Hi Point 995TS can be bought for less than $300. For those wondering what the TS stands for it is Tactical Stock. Below are 10 reasons you should consider adding one or more of these industrial grade Hi Point 995TS rifles to your arsenal.
