Shooting my Hi Point 995 carbine

Went out to the gravel pit to shoot my 995 carbine. 30 rounds (3 mags) at a target taped to a stump. Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the target, but all 30 rounds hit. I started off at roughly 30 yards and moved in to 10 or 15 yards for the final shooting.

would this be a good gun to hunt with? what about deer? would a 9mm have enough take down power? i want to get one of these guns. but should i get the 9mm or the 40? do they make this gun in a .45

@breezyatv90 I've known a few people to get deer with the 9mm if they are hunting in an area where the shots are fairly close (less than 60 yards) and using +P ammo. I'd think that the .40 or .45 carbine would work better for this though. Yes they do make a .45 carbine now, it's called the 4595TS. I had one for about a year, it was an excellent weapon I just didn't shoot it much and sold it to fund my first machine gun.

i really like this gun would buying the old generation of it for a hundred bucks be a good deal?

[47MasoN47]

@samerjam101 Definitely! You can buy an upgrade kit to upgrade the old 995 "classic" to the new TS for $40 from Hi Point if you want to do that. Even if you don't though, the classic 995 is definitely worth $100!

Eric Harris used one of these in the Columbine shooting.

@breezyatv90 why the hell would u want to use this for deer... get a .44 magnum carbine if you want to shoot a pistol round at a deer out of a rifle

[ssharpshooter101]

@breezyatv90 Don't ever hunt deer with a 9mm. Completely unethical.

[Yahooblue42]

I don't see the recoil

[breezyatv90]

@xtraflo but this would be perfect for varmits right? like coons, coyote, fox rabbit stuff like that?

[xtraflo]

@breezyatv90 There are SO many different calibers to choose from for deer hunting. 9mm Would be one of my last choices. And a Brand new HiPoint 995ts costs around $200 . You could easily pick up a a Bolt action .270 or a .243 for that price - - My concern with a 9mm, is that it may Penetrate, but its such a Low Velocity Round, that it wouldnt do as much internal Damage as a High Velocity round like the 2 I mentioned above. So for the Sake of Torturing a Deer, but a suitable Rifle.

I count 29 shots.

@breezyatv90 9mm wouldnt be a the best round but it would work

[breezyatv90]

@snork707 so this would be a great gun for small game hunting?

[snork707]

@breezyatv90 no sorry. you wouldn't want anything less that like a .270 or 30-30. if it came down to it and i was starving and had to hunt a deer the smallest bullet i would use is 44 mag maybe, just maybe a 357 otherwise that bullet would be much better utilized for little varmint animals.
