Key Features
- 16.5″ Threaded Barrel – Why it matters: lets you attach a suppressor or compensator to reduce recoil and noise, making follow-up shots faster and range time more pleasant.
- Fully Adjustable Ghost-Ring Sights – Why it matters: the rear peep and post front give you quick target acquisition and fine-tune accuracy, even in low light—great for new shooters learning sight alignment.
- Weaver-Style Rail & Scope Base – Why it matters: you can mount a red dot, holographic sight, or magnified optic without gunsmithing, so you can customize for plinking or precision.
- Internal Recoil Buffer – Why it matters: reduces felt recoil and protects the action over thousands of rounds, extending the life of your carbine and keeping it reliable.
- Integral Sling Swivels – Why it matters: attach a two-point sling for easy carry during range trips or while hiking—hands-free when you need to grab gear.

It’s ideal for new gun owners looking for a low-recoil rifle that’s simple to operate, and for families wanting a home-defense carbine that’s easy for everyone to handle. If you’re a hunter or pest-control shooter, the 9mm caliber keeps ammo costs low while still delivering solid stopping power at reasonable ranges.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Affordable price—under $350 for a lifetime-warrantied, American-made carbine.
- Pro: Threaded barrel and rail system make it easy to customize with suppressors, optics, and lights.
- Pro: Adjustable ghost-ring sights are a huge upgrade over basic open sights, giving you better accuracy out of the box.
- Con: The fixed skeletonized stock doesn’t collapse or fold, which can make storage or transport a bit bulkier than a telescoping stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
What caliber does the Hi-Point 995TSDD use?
It uses 9mm Luger ammunition. It feeds reliably with standard-pressure and +P loads, but stick to factory ammo for best results.
Can I mount a red dot sight on this carbine?
Yes. The 995TSDD comes with a Weaver-style rail on top of the receiver, plus a separate scope base. You can mount most red dots, holographic sights, or low-power scopes without any adapter.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
Yes, the 16.5″ barrel is factory-threaded (standard 1/2×28 threads) so you can attach a suppressor or muzzle brake. Just remember to check your local laws before adding a can.
What kind of warranty does Hi-Point offer?
Hi-Point backs this carbine with a lifetime warranty. According to Hi-Point specs, if anything breaks due to materials or workmanship, they’ll repair or replace it free of charge—even if you’re not the original owner.
How do I clean and maintain this carbine?
Field-strip it by removing the takedown pin and sliding the action out of the stock. Clean the barrel with a 9mm bore brush and solvent, then lightly oil the moving parts. Hi-Point recommends cleaning every 500 rounds or after heavy use.
