Hi-pt Carb 9mm 16.5" Target Stk Blk

The Hi-Point 9mm Carbine with 16.5" Target Stock in Black (Model 995TS) is a budget-conscious semi-automatic platform designed for shooters seeking affordable centerfire rifle capabilities. This American-made carbine delivers reliable operation at a price point that makes centerfire shooting accessible to budget-conscious enthusiasts, new shooters, and those building backup arsenals.

At 8.25 pounds with a 16.5-inch barrel, the Hi-Point 9mm carbine balances portability with sight radius—the longer barrel extends velocity potential from the 9mm cartridge compared to handgun platforms, while the moderate weight suits extended range sessions and training drills. The adjustable sights allow users to dial in accuracy at various distances, and the quick on/off thumb safety enables rapid transition between ready and safe positions. The all-weather polymer stock handles field conditions without degradation, critical for shooters operating in variable climates or coastal environments where corrosion and UV exposure pose concerns.

This carbine appeals to trainers working with large groups, competitors running practice drills on a tight budget, and shooters who reload 9mm and want to maximize their ammunition investment through a centerfire rifle platform. The last round lock-open feature aids in clearing procedures and immediate bolt status confirmation—useful during tactical training or competition stages requiring positive feedback that the magazine is empty. The 9mm chambering offers manageable recoil for extended shooting, lower ammunition costs than larger rifle calibers, and broad commercial availability.

Hi-Point firearms occupy a distinct market segment: fully domestic manufacturing paired with no-frills reliability and transparent pricing. This 995TS model delivers verified American-made construction without the feature premium of modern tactical rifles, making it a practical choice for shooters prioritizing function and economy over aesthetic refinement.
