Hi Point Rifle 9 40 45?

[Rocky BearDog]

My 995 before and after swapping the "planet of the apes" stock for the ATI. Found the discontinued ATI stock on eBay back in April.

Why is it nobody makes aftermarket magazines that hold more than ten rounds?

Why doesn't someone recognize a market niche and step in and fill it?

There have been 25 round mags available for Ruger 10/22s for 40 years.

Na that kind of firepower would be the end of Bloodymore.

Seriously, the .45 in particular has been on my list for a long time.

You guys didn't watch our Hi Point vs. H&K video

 

[notguilty]

yes Accurate and reliable.

 

[Sirex]

I want one in .45 so it can share my HiPoint .45 pistol's mags.

 

[One Wire]

Thanks Guys and 45 hi point it is

 

[EarnestT]

You won't regret it.

So why no 20 / 30 round mags?

Thanks Guys and 45 hi point it is

Get em all, especially if you are using a good FFL for transfers they will hit you with $50 for the first one and a discount for each subsequent one. Average out around $30 each.

I like my 995 a lot. They are fun to shoot. If you get tired of 10 shots at a time, simply buy the 15 round clone but before you use it take one of you 10 round mags apart and retain the top piece, disassemble 15 round clone and replace the plastic wrongly shaped top piece with metal one from the 10 round. They work well in my 995.

I do not think I have ever seen one of these carbines in person at any gun shop or show, or I just did not realize what they were. Too bad they don't take Glock magazines, one chambered in .45ACP with a Glock 30 round stick would be great.

 

[Rack&Roll]

You can make your own Glock carbine. Legal because barrel is not SBR.

Also, Korean KCI 30 Mags are only good as doorstops. Buy Kriss 30 rounders only. Glock does not make a 30 rounder in .45 (really 28), only in 9mm.

Any Deserts in Maryland I could take this to?

I just had my first experience with my new HP 995TS 9mm carbine, and it was a lot of fun at 25 yards. Will take it out to 50 yards on the next range day. Was shooting some TomKat HBN coated ammo.

 

[retrorichard]

I've had 3 over the years. I didn't like the .40, but loved the ones in 9.

Have you looked at the Chiapas m9?

New in .380

Hi-Point’s got a new carbine and this one’s in .380

Looks like the same 'Planet of the Apes' stock, but for home defense in B'More it fits right in.

Decent power thanks to a 16" carbine-length barrel and less wall penetration because of the lighter weight .380 makes it an all around HD firearm, especially if you're consolidating ammo and have their .380 pistol with 10 rd mag.

It's not on Hi-Point's site yet ...

 

[Threeband]

Why something so big (carbine) that shoots .380 out of a 10 round mag?

Ammo costs twice as much and is half as powerful and the carbine has half the capacity of a pistol.

I just don't see it.

Yes, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but not by much. Not by much.

Twice as much money for half as much power and half as many shots. Go ahead and correct my exaggerated math and you'll just be proving my point.


.380 sucks and it's EXPENSIVE, if you can find it. I have an LCP in .380 that holds almost as much ammo as this monkey gun. Why would anyone want a .380 long gun?


Now give the 9mm carbine some 20 - 25 - 32 round magazines, and EVERYTHING changes. Suddenly it's a real pistol caliber carbine that is CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP and RELIABLE. Suddenly people who just can not justify $500 or $800 for a 9mm carbine are lining up, waving cash, and shouting, "Shut up and take my money!"

Yes, I have looked at the MecTech conversions. Do the math:

Base gun - $400 - $600 or more.
Conversion kit - $400, stripped.
Stock - $40 - $90 - $100 - more
Sights - $30 - $500

So you're looking at about $500 minimum without the Glock frame. Add at least a few hundred for that, and you might as well buy an AR15.

So here's this Fugly Monkey gun that supposedly is drop dead reliable and costs, what $250? $300. But it's stuck with 10 round mags. That is just LAUGHABLE.

What can this thing do that a pistol with 17 or 20 or 28 round mags can't do?

FORTY YEARS AGO, when FREAKING NIXON was FREAKING PRESIDENT!!!! You could walk in a store and buy 25 round magazines for a Ruger 10/22, and F*** You Bill Ruger!

So why can't you buy 25 round magazines for this thing?

Classic Smithian Economic Theory says when a market niche exists and is recognized, investors will step in and fill that niche, and laugh all the way to the bank. So why no 32 round Hi Point mags?

Is KelTec preventing it? Bill Ruger couldn't prevent it 40 years ago.

I'm not asking how I can get a cheap 9mm carbine. I really have no use for one (unless it's REALLY cheap.)

I'm asking why no one makes aftermarket mags for this.

Looks like the same 'Planet of the Apes' stock

Actually, that is the new style stock from Hi-Point.

The one referred to as 'Planet of the Apes' didn't have the openings in the buttstock, or the spring mounted pad.

(Photos are old-style stock and a still from the movie, obviously)
