| for those of you who own an older 995 and have swapped to the ATI stock. Does that stock get rid of the HI Point cheek sting on recoil. It's the only thing I really dislike about mine, (other than the low mag capacity). I tried moleskin and it still stings. Maybe molefoam? |

This is way i have not pick one up yet, 10 round mag capacity. I really think if HI POINT had 20 or 30 round mags a lot more people would be buying them. |
| Actually, I just never understood why their pistols & rifles don't share the same type magazine, like my Beretta 90-two & CX4 Storm does. I've got 30 rnd mags for my Berettas & my Glock, in a pistol it really feels awkward versus the standard mag, but in a PCC it really makes sense, and gives my Storm carbine the same capacity as my AR. But the HP is a budget rifle, so ya take the good with the bad. Oh, and if your HP is the newer TS, the ATI stock will fit but you lose the slide clips for your receiver so you need to get some old style receiver bolts, there are a few aftermarket guys who make some replacements (got mine off ebay) or get some from HP. |

Not to hi-jack the tread but... I purchased my 4595TS on an impulse buy. I had heard mostly good of them and at $299 I figured why not. So I made sure it functions and the mags work, clean it up and put it away.
Several months later I pull it out and ask myself why I had it. Told a few friends that I may have it for sale. One was interested. So I decided to take it out in the hay field and really play with it before I made any final decisions. Many water filled 2 liter bottles later and I was laughing myself silly. It is just too fun. (Kind of wish it was 9mm though. 45 ain't cheep) It is a shame on the mag count. And it is ugly and heavy. Nothing to be toting around but works great for leaning in a corner next to the couch.

The downside is 9 round mags for the 45's! But, like any thing else, you can learn to do a quick mag change. I would love to see HP do at least a 15 rd mag. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard. |

Yes the ATI stock gives you a solid comfortable check weld and is a far superior ergonomic setup for the HP carbine. The folks at Hi Point have stated that the rigidity of the ATI stock can adversely effect the reliability of the rifle in some cases because the OEM stock flexes with the movement of the oversized bolt in this blow-back rifle design, but I have not had any issues to date.

| If the ATI stock wasn't available I probably wouldn't have a 995, this started as a cheap alternative to a CX4 Storm which was out of my price range at the time. Recently I did pick up a used CX4 which did not dissapoint but i still plan to keep my Hi Point. I mainly shoot light reloads so I'm be curious if there's any truth to the ATI stock causing excessive stress on the receiver, if it does fail then I'll either fix it or sell it, but I won't go back to the OEM stock. I understand this is made to a price point and over all it's worth the asking price, but I think using a more solid composite stock instead of the plastic stock would attract more potential buyers. Or at least have an upscale version with a better stock. |
