Model 995 Lifestyle

Hi-Point Firearms has introduced the first-ever carbine chambered for the 30 Super Carry defensive cartridge. Many personal and home defense practitioners understand the value of having ammunition compatibility between their handguns and rifles. This has long been the case with 9mm handguns and pistol-caliber carbines (PCC) chambered for the 9mm Luger. Now, Hi-Point is extending that same compatibility to Federal's new 30 Super Carry handgun cartridge with a carbine chambered for this potent ammunition.

Hi Point Model 995 Right Side

The Hi-Point 995 is the industry's first rifle to accommodate the 30 Super Carry cartridge. Available with a 16.5-inch barrel length, the Model 995 boasts a semi-automatic action with a 10-shot capacity. The carbine features a skeletonized polymer stock and pistol grip with a ribbed polymer fore-end for lightweight and durable performance. The carbine comes with a front-post sight and a peep rear sight that is adjustable for windage and elevation. A Picatinny rail atop the receiver and a rail below the handguard allows shooters to accommodate optics and accessories.

If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
