( 5 out of 5) Most Reliable Firearm I've Ever Owned!

by Alexander from Saint Joseph, MO on May 17, 2019

I purchased the Hi-Point 995TS carbine in February of 2018. Since then, I have run approximately 5000 rounds of ammo through this firearm. This firearm has easily been the most reliable, trustworthy firearm that I've ever had the pleasure of owning.

I have run brass, aluminum, steel, and self-defense ammo through this weapon, and it takes it all just fine. I typically shoot steel ammo through this gun, due to the low cost, such as Wolf Performance & Military Classic and Tula ammo. It has zero problems shooting steel and it has not caused any additional or abnormal wear to it. This firearm does not mind being dirty, it will function just fine and remain accurate for long periods between cleaning.

That being said, it is of course a good idea to clean it on occasion, I usually do so every 1,000 to 2,000 rounds. It has been an incredibly accurate and fun to shoot carbine, the stock sights are so good to use that I have zero desire to change them out for anything else. They were dead on accurate straight from the factory, which was also a nice. The gun is slightly heavy, but not to the point where it makes any real difference when you're using it. Stock 10 round magazines and RedBall 20 round magazines both function fine in my carbine.

I would highly, highly, highly recommend this carbine to everyone that I know. It is really hard to describe just how nice this gun is in terms of bang-for-your-buck. Fun to shoot, accurate, robust, reliable, and inexpensive to shoot.
