Key Features
- 13.25-inch Threaded Barrel – This long barrel gives you increased velocity and better accuracy at distance, plus the threaded muzzle (1/2×28) lets you attach a suppressor, compensator, or flash hider. Why it matters: You get rifle-like ballistics in a pistol platform, perfect for plinking, pest control, or quiet shooting with a can.
- Integrated Arm Brace – The factory-installed brace stabilizes the pistol against your forearm, giving you a third point of contact for steadier aim. Why it matters: More control means tighter groups, especially when shooting offhand or from a field position.
- Full Picatinny Rail System – Top and bottom rails let you mount optics, lights, lasers, or a foregrip. Why it matters: You can customize this Hi-Point 995 exactly how you want it — red dot for speed, light for low-light, or bipod for bench shooting.
- HiViz Front Sight & Ghost-Ring Rear – The bright fiber-optic front picks up light fast, and the large aperture rear gives you a fast, intuitive sight picture. Why it matters: Quick target acquisition in varying light, whether you’re at the range or on a coyote hunt.
- Simple, Robust Blowback Action – Hi-Point uses a proven delayed-blowback system that runs reliably with all factory 9mm ammo. Why it matters: No fuss, no tuning — just load and shoot. It eats everything from 115-grain range ammo to 147-grain defensive loads.
Who It’s For
This braced pistol is ideal for the shooter who wants a compact, easy-to-handle 9mm that hits hard and runs cheap. It’s a natural fit for budget-minded enthusiasts, truck-gun builders, and anyone who wants a stable platform without the paperwork of an SBR. If you’re a dove hunter looking for a reliable camp gun, a plinker who loves long-range pistol shooting, or a first-time gun owner wanting something safe and simple, the Hi-Point 995 is a solid choice.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Affordable price, long threaded barrel for accuracy and suppressor use, integrated brace for stability, rugged polymer build, HiViz sights, full rail for accessories, reliable blowback action, made in the USA.
- Cons: The Hi-Point 995 is heavier than many pistol-caliber carbines or other braced pistols — it tips the scales at about 6.5 pounds unloaded. Also, the trigger pull is a bit heavy (around 8-9 pounds) and has some creep, which might not suit precision shooters out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hi-Point 995 braced pistol legal to own without a tax stamp?
Yes. As of this writing (and per current ATF rulings), the Hi-Point 995 with its factory-installed arm brace is classified as a pistol, not a short-barreled rifle, so no NFA tax stamp is required. Always check your local and state laws before purchasing.
Can I attach a suppressor to the threaded barrel?
Yes, the 13.25-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard 9mm suppressor thread pitch. You can attach most 9mm suppressors directly. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for pistol-caliber use and that you comply with any NFA requirements for the suppressor itself.
What magazines does this pistol use?
The Hi-Point 995 braced pistol uses standard Hi-Point 995-series magazines. They are 10-round capacity. Aftermarket extended magazines are not available from Hi-Point, but you can find 15- and 20-round options from third-party manufacturers.
Is the brace removable?
Yes, the brace can be removed by unscrewing a few bolts. If you remove it, the pistol functions as a standard handgun. Keep in mind that removing the brace does not change its legal classification — it remains a pistol as long as no stock is attached.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, Hi-Point offers a limited lifetime warranty on all their firearms. If you have any issues, they will repair or replace the pistol free of charge. Their customer service is known for being straightforward and helpful.
