This was the author’s first couple magazines through the Model 995.The author had no issues with JHP or FMJ rounds, even a few remanufactured rounds went through the gun just fine.While the 10-round magazine comes standard, there is a 20-round Redball Sports magazine.The grip was tall enough for the author to get all his fingers to securely seat for a controlled grip.The 995 comes with a 10-round magazine, trigger lock, sling, and swivels. The accessory rails allow you to make the 995 your own with some added customization possibilities.

A threaded barrel can be found on the 995, allowing you add a suppressor.

Since the 995 comes in a simple cardboard box, the author decided to transport it to and from the range in a hard rifle case from MTM Case-gard.

The iron sights are easy to adjust and get the job done, but the author plans to eventually add an optic.

What is your favorite 9mm carbine? How does it compare to the Hi-Point Model 995? Share your answers in the comment section. If you’re looking at PCCs, it’s worth giving the Hi-Point 995 a look and weighing its features vs. It has what you need out of the box to hit the range right away and leaves you with some money for ammo or accessories. Given the reliability and potential accuracy with some adjustment, I think the Hi-Point 995 is a solid, entry-level PCC to familiarize yourself with the platform.

The time has come to give my final thoughts. My first several magazines were spent trying to slightly adjust the sights, but afterward, I was able to get roughly 3-inch groups at 15 yards indoors and was able to place shots on 8” gongs out to 40–50 yards. When it came to accuracy, I wound up having to work so out some kinks but found the gun to be average to slightly above average given the standard sights.
