Hi-Point 995B 995 9mm 16.5" 11-Round Threaded Barrel Carbine

The Hi-Point 995B 995 Carbine in 9mm Luger is a direct blowback, semi-automatic rifle designed for shooters seeking an affordable, reliable platform for home defense, range training, or tactical practice. Built on a proven polymer and steel design, this carbine delivers consistent performance in a compact form factor that handles like a modern tactical rifle despite its budget-friendly price point. Law enforcement and civilian shooters alike appreciate Hi-Point's no-nonsense approach: durable construction, straightforward controls, and honest specifications without unnecessary frills.

The 995B features a 16.50-inch threaded barrel in black finish, allowing for future muzzle device integration such as suppressors or compensators to manage recoil and muzzle rise—valuable in rapid-fire scenarios. The Picatinny rail receiver accommodates optics, lasers, and tactical accessories without requiring gunsmith work, while the skeletonized polymer stock reduces overall weight to 7.4 pounds for easy handling during extended training sessions. Post front sight and peep rear sight configuration provides fast target acquisition, though the flat-top receiver is optimized for mounted optics. The 10+1 round capacity, fed by single-stack magazines, balances magazine reliability with practical firepower for defensive or training contexts.

This platform excels for shooters new to carbine-length rifles, law enforcement backup systems, or budget-conscious enthusiasts building a modular training rifle. The threaded barrel opens customization possibilities, while the Picatinny rail receiver ensures compatibility with standard tactical furniture. At 32.8 inches overall length, the 995B remains maneuverable in tight spaces—critical for home defense or vehicle storage. Maintenance is straightforward; field stripping requires no tools and spare parts remain affordable and widely available through the aftermarket.
