It's here! My first gun!

devanjones · Mar 28, 2013

Hope this is the right sub-thread....
I picked my gun up today from Boomsticks FFL (a guy who runs his FFL outta his house in Graham, good prices good guy).
I payed 289.99 for the gun.

My Hi-Point 995ts 9mm carbine.

Unboxing

I'm so excited! I can't wait to shoot it, probably early next week at a bulls eye range in Tacoma.

awesome, looking forward to the review.
great price!!

if you wanna come down to lacey to go get rid of some rounds let me know....I saw one in .45 and really was interested (as in i have stared hording spent 45acp brass and reloading stuffs)

really neat little guns in my opinion.

It's a 9mm, but I can take you up on that some day if you'd still like.

Congratulations! I've heard many rave reports about the Hi-Point 9mm. Good pick -- it should serve you well!

I have a friend who has one and loves it.

KrautBurner · Mar 29, 2013

I've been thinking about getting one in 45 as well

did you buy it on gunbroker.com or another online source and have it shipped?
or purchase it thru Boomsticks FFL in Graham?

I wonder if he can get that price on a 45?

KrautBurner · Mar 29, 2013

can you give us the contact info for Boomsticks FFL ?
I didn't see them in google

hualosman · Mar 29, 2013

I've seen these popping up on the forums, where are these types of guns being used? Are they primarily target guns or tactical?

yance1270 · Mar 29, 2013

i had one of these weapons in 40 cal - it jammed badly - a friend told me it was my ammo. maybe choose wisely which ammo you use for the first little while..

devanjones · Mar 29, 2013

Thanks guys. I ordered mine through Dusty's Firearms. They're based in Tennessee. Boomsticks was the FFL I had it shipped to. It's primarily for target, I would assume. It only has 10 round magazines, but I don't see why it wouldn't be just fine for shooting an intruder in your home. Nutnfancy did a tactical shooting thing with one of them and he seemed to like it, IIRC.

Fast Eddie · Mar 29, 2013

It looks like a hoot to shoot, I just wondered where its niche is, who is using them and for what.

devanjones · Mar 30, 2013

I would think most people use them for recreation.

I had one of the older models in 9mm and that thing jammed all the time. I tried a bunch of different rounds in it and none of them fed well. End up selling it. Hope you have a better experience than me.

I went to a range and put 50 rounds through it without a problem.

have you gotten out anymore?
hows she holding up for you?

frotz · Nov 8, 2014

Looks nice. I'd like to get a pistol carbine sort of like that. Hi Point seems to be the only one making those anymore. I have a thing about using Hi Point anything on the grounds of their pistols. What are the carbines like?

It's here! My first gun!
