Key Features
- 13.25-Inch Threaded Barrel — Why it matters: The 1/2×28 threads let you mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith, keeping your setup quiet or reducing muzzle rise in tight urban spaces.
- Stabilizing Brace Included — Why it matters: Gives you a third point of contact for accurate, one-handed or braced shooting, perfect for apartment dwellers who need to engage threats without shouldering a rifle.
- Picatinny Rail System — Why it matters: Mount a red dot, laser, or light directly to the top and bottom rails, so you can customize for low-light home defense or range training without adapter plates.
- Reliable Blowback Action — Why it matters: Simple, proven design means fewer malfunctions with budget 9mm ammo — critical when you can’t afford premium defensive loads every range trip.
- 10-Round Magazine — Why it matters: Compliant in most states, and the single-stack design keeps the grip slim for smaller hands, while still giving you enough capacity for a defensive encounter.
Who It’s For
This is for the urban CCW holder who wants a truck gun, a home defense carbine alternative, or a range toy that doesn’t break the bank. If you live in an apartment, need something that fits in a small safe, and want to attach a suppressor without paying $1,000 for a host gun, the Hi-Point 995P is your answer. It’s also ideal for new shooters who want a braced pistol without the learning curve of a complex platform.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Unbeatable price — you can’t find a braced 9mm pistol with a threaded barrel for under $400 anywhere else.
- Pro: Reliable blowback action eats cheap ammo and runs dirty without jamming.
- Pro: Full-length Picatinny top rail lets you mount optics directly, no adapter needed.
- Con: Heavy at 4.5 lbs — you’ll feel it after a long range session, but that weight also soaks up recoil.
- Con: Magazine capacity is limited to 10 rounds compared to double-stack competitors.

FAQ
Is the Hi-Point 995P compatible with standard Glock sights?
No, the 995P uses its own proprietary sight system. However, the top Picatinny rail allows you to mount a red dot or reflex sight easily, bypassing the irons altogether.
Can I use +P or +P+ ammunition in this pistol?
Hi-Point does not officially recommend +P+ loads, but the 995P’s heavy blowback action can handle occasional +P ammunition. For reliability and safety, stick with standard-pressure 9mm for daily carry or training.
Does the brace count as a stock? Is this legal?
As of April 2026, the included stabilizing brace is legal under current ATF rulings for pistol configurations. Always check your local laws, as regulations can change.
What suppressor works with the 1/2×28 threads?
Any 9mm suppressor with a standard 1/2×28 piston will thread directly onto the barrel. Popular options include the SilencerCo Omega 9K and the Dead Air Wolfman.
How many rounds does the magazine hold?
It ships with one 10-round magazine. Aftermarket magazines are available from Hi-Point and third-party sources, but capacity may vary by state.
