The Hi-Point 995 Classic is a 9mm pistol-caliber carbine that brings back the original first-generation 995 look while retaining practical modern updates such as a threaded muzzle, last-round hold open & improved sight hardware. It uses a simple blowback-operated semi-automatic action, 16.5" barrel, polymer stock, detachable 10 round magazine, adjustable rear peep sight, adjustable front sight, bottom accessory rail & manual thumb safety. Built for affordable range use, recreational shooting, basic defensive training & shooters who like the retro Hi-Point carbine profile, the 995 Classic keeps the compact, budget-friendly PCC concept that made the original 995 popular. Hi-Point has built its reputation around rugged, inexpensive firearms backed by simple mechanics & lifetime warranty support & the 995 Classic follows that same formula with a fixed-barrel blowback system that is generally regarded as reliable despite its basic construction. Review testing of the 995 Classic reported useful practical accuracy at 50 & 100 yards, with the carbine shooting to point of aim & producing respectable groups for an inexpensive PCC. Its 6.25 - 6.7 lbs unloaded weight helps control recoil, while the 16.5" barrel gives 9mm ammunition better velocity than a handgun. Overall, the 995 Classic is not a premium or lightweight PCC, but it delivers strong value, simple reliability and enjoyable performance for budget-minded shooters.
