After a 2 month search and pretty much 0 leads from a armslist I walked in to a Pawn Shop in Fayetteville and there she was. I paid a little more than I wanted but at least my search is over.

Not real pretty and not terribly accurate, but a helluva lot of fun to shoot. We're keeping ours in the stable.

Let the Haters hate.... They may not be pretty, but they sure are fun to shoot, plus I am a big fan of Pistol caliber carbines.

Haven't fire it yet but hopefully it doesn't .thats the great thing about hi points,,, a no question asked warrenty. It's kinda of beat up so if doesn't work properly they will basically rebuild the rifle from scratch with all new parts

My 995 (the newer one) has never malfunctioned, never been cleaned, and has probably had 1500 or so rounds through it. Apparently the firing pin channel corrodes over time, but I don't know that for sure...

Ugly as all hell, but reliable as could be.

FYI if you want the new style stock..call hipoint and they will ship one to you for $40.

I found a couple of these in pawn shops in the past...picked one up for 100 and the other for around 125. I sold one and traded another for an sks thanks to armslist.

I keep hopin to find another one someday all beat to crap in a pawn shop so I can qet it cheap.

On a side note...century has some of these in their odd lots bin alonq with a ton of the pistols.

I've had one of these since the mid to late ninety's. Can't remember the exact year, but mounted a low power fixed scope and have beat the crap out of it. Rarely cleaned or lubed it because it was so cheap when I bought it (on a whim because of the $100 price tag new). As long as I smack the mag against the palm of my hand to fully seat the bullets to the rear of the mag, it chugs along with nary a hiccup. Lots of fun to shoot and minute of ground hog accuracy. Let the haters hate; the rest of us will keep having a blast with 'em.
