I just wanted to put out there that Hi Point makes a Tac Driver of a Carbine. I picked up a 9mm 995 about 2 years ago just so I could do some fire with movement drills with ammo cheaper than 5.56. At first I wasn't impressed with it because it uses stamped metal pretty much, and the barrel is connected to the bolt, which makes it really hard to upgrade parts since you would need a blow torch. Also, the 10 round single stack mags are a joke, really I laughed when I actually held them, then I fired the gun. Man did I look like I idiot, this thing shoots better than my friends CAR 9 every time. I literally had no problem putting shot on shot at 50 yards, and I could out shoot him at 200 yards like it was my job or something. It amazed me, then I found out its +p rated, WHAT, his wasn't even rated for +p (probably was but it did not say) and that thing loves 125grain +p. Never had a single Jam, ever, not even when I on purpose put it in muddy water for 30 sec, grabbed it and put a nice 10 shot group at 30 yards without even clearing it. It is hard like a rock, and I consider it to be the AK of carbines because its hard to make one not work. The ONLY true drawback I notices was its ability to rust easier than most weapons, that's it, and CLP takes care of that. I own AR15's, Rem870's, Glocks, SA XD's and several Smith and Wessons and my Hi Point is just as reliable, bar non. It might be ugly, but its a hell of a fire arm.

now if you could only find mags that hold 20-30 rounds instead of 10 or 15...
(you do know promag makes a 15 round mag for that gun right?
)
was tossing around the idea of picking one of these up someday.

when Cali decides you can't have it anymore - I'm prepared to offer you 75 dollars a half eaten egg mcmuffin and a sharp pointy stick in trade...
oh wait - CA PC section 12029 says you can't have a sharp pointy stick.
but seriously - if you ever decide to part with it, I'd pay you what you paid for it, so keep me in mind
it doesn't have a bullet button on it does it?
Of course it has a bullet button. Currently its the only bb rifle I have left.when Cali decides you can't have it anymore - I'm prepared to offer you 75 dollars a half eaten egg mcmuffin and a sharp pointy stick in trade...

Not sharing my manapua, nope nope nope...
not for a whole crate of carbines.
maybe you like get a week old half eaten Spam Musubi?
on another note... I thought you had a 580/81 series mini 14?
cause it's "featureless" no need a bb?
I laugh every time a local boy whines about hawaii gun laws - cause compared to Cali... they are downright reasonable.

a 9mm+p out of a carbine bbl is some serious medicine.
seems I read promag was developing a 'snail drum' 20rd mag for the 995.
since firearmeggedon I got doubts it will see light of day

I mounted a BSA red dot as well, But i have a lot of trouble seeing it in the middle of the day. How ever it is loaded next to my bed for any unwelcome visitors. I have had 2 people try to break in in the last few years and its reliability and close range accuracy makes it my number one choice for home defense. I did see a home made 50 round mag for one a few months ago, it was a really neat looking drum shape. Don't know how well it worked or anything. Not sure even if it held 50 just what the owner said.

I'd so buy a 995 if they ever do.
