BTW. I used Krylon plastic primer then rust-o-leem folage green to paint mine. It turned out pretty good.

is that durable or will it eventually rub or flake off?

The 995. The fat girl/moped of pistol carbines!

I like how the ATI stocks look. Although the TS is nicer than the "classic" damn dirty ape one.


Anyone tried the .45? Can't find a thread thriugh INGO but ...... came up empty.

What are you basing that on? Everything I've read says they don't fit. I'm asking because I'd like to put on on.

I have one that the GF shoots. Never misses a beat.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Damn you! I miss my C9. Great range guns. Owned 2 with zero issues.
I was so close to getting one before I moved as a budget 9. They are illegal to sell where I am now....

I think you wil be pleased with the carbine. They really are pretty nice shooters and I think she will enjoy it. I own two HiPoint firearms and both have been flawless since day one.

 

[bmmyers08]

im glad to hear they shouldnt be a problem...im lookin to customize it and need to know if the ati stocks will fit the new model ts. and if it doesnt how hard is it to make them fit? cuz i know people have done it, i just dont know how.

To the OP they absolutly do not fit. Get mine instead.

I have had no issues yet. If I do I'll just give it a little sandpaper and touch it up.

Are you basing your dislike of Hipoint firearms off of an actual experience, the look, the low cost, or the opinions of a bunch of nobodies on the internet, I have a C9 that is lots of fun and goes bang EVERY time, It doesnt like HPs but what do I care, FMJ is cheaper to shoot and is every bit as deadly. Their NQA fully transferable lifetime waranty and customer service is second to none, in my exp. (called to order a couple extra mags) Im just picking peoples brains because most people that bash Hipoint have never owned or even shot one.

Ok, I'll bite. I had one Hi-Point, a used 995. It was completely unreliable with any ammo, with any of the six (!) magazines I bought. I'd get 2-3 feed/eject problems per 10 round mag. I didn't pay much for it and it wasn't worth the trouble to me to send it back. That may sound petty to you but I was just over it. Once a gun proves itself to be a turd I don't even want it anymore. I understand that every line is going to have its share of lemons but it ruined me on Hi-Points for good. I traded it off with full disclosure to someone who was willing to play the "ship the gun back and forth" game for a little less than I paid for it. It's a shame, too, because I was far more accurate with it than I had any right to be (when it worked).

That sucks. Any word from the new owner? Did he send it back and get it repaired?

Your concerns are well founded, and this is one of maybe 3 actual stories I have heard to accompany hundreds of people I have seen bashing the brand. I own the c9 and I have put a couple hundred rounds down range with a 995 and .45 acp carbine on loan to me from a friend. My experiences have been good so far, and I have been kicking around the idea of picking up a 995, I just cant find any practicality in it, especially since I keep my Mossberg 500 ready to rock for HD purposes and I feel it would be a far more effective HD gun. I have a bubba'd SKS for my tacticool fix and an AK for SHTF. I guess my Mosin isnt very practical but a WWII surplus rifle for 90 bucks, how can you pass that up. Anyway, Its always nice to have a first person story to accompany a complaint. thanks

Traded it to someone selling a private collection at the 1500... No idea what happened after that.

I'll tell the good and the bad. I'm not one to put too much stock in a brand name, but I do with this one.
