Hi-Point 995P Braced 9mm Pistol 13.25″ Threaded
About this product
The Hi-Point 995P Braced 9mm Pistol is a 13.25-inch barreled semi-auto platform designed to bridge utility between traditional pistols and carbines using a stabilizing brace attachment. Built on Hi-Point’s polymer-frame 9mm blowback action, it includes a threaded muzzle for suppressors and offers an overall length of 20.75 inches. This configuration provides a legally compliant pistol setup with rifle-like stabilization for practical accuracy training and tactical applications.
What is the Hi-Point 995P Braced 9mm Pistol used for?
This pistol is primarily used for close-quarters training and suppressor-ready range work where NFA compliance is required. The 13.25-inch barrel optimizes 9mm ballistics for minimal muzzle flip while remaining under the 16-inch rifle threshold. With a weight of 5.2 pounds unloaded, it handles more like a compact carbine than a handgun, making it suitable for extended drills and introduction to braced firearm platforms.
How does the Hi-Point 995P compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The 995P offers immediate suppressor compatibility without NFA paperwork, unlike the Stevens 334 Rifle which requires a tax stamp for threaded barrel modifications. Hi-Point’s blowback action is simpler and more affordable but less refined than the Stevens 334’s bolt-action system for precision shooting. For tactical 9mm applications under $400, the 995P delivers superior value, but the Stevens 334 in .308 Win dominates for long-range accuracy beyond 200 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This pistol weighs 5.2 pounds empty and measures 20.75 inches in overall length with the brace extended. The 13.25-inch barrel provides a sight radius of approximately 15 inches between the HiViz front and ghost-ring rear sights. At 4.5 inches wide at the widest point, it remains manageable for vehicle or bedside storage while accommodating standard 1/2x28 muzzle devices.
Who is this NOT for?
This platform is not for precision competitors or those seeking premium material construction. The polymer frame limits accessory mounting options compared to aluminum-chassis systems like the the Stevens 334 Rifle, and the 10-round magazine capacity restricts high-volume drill work. Shooters needing sub-MOA accuracy or quick magazine changes should consider higher-end PCC alternatives costing twice as much.
What's in the box?
Each purchase includes the braced pistol, one 10-round magazine, trigger lock, sling with swivels, and basic owner’s documentation. The brace is pre-installed but adjustable for different arm diameters up to 12 inches circumference. Missing from the package are optical mounting plates—users must purchase aftermarket adapters separately for red dot compatibility.
Is the Hi-Point 995P worth it at $359.99?
At $359.99, this represents one of the most affordable braced pistol platforms available with factory threading. Compared to custom builds requiring $200+ braces and gunsmithing, the 995P delivers immediate NFA-compliant functionality. For budget-conscious shooters entering the suppressor or braced firearm world, this provides 85% of higher-end performance at 45% of the cost, though with noticeable trade-offs in refinement and capacity.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-15 grips?
- No, the 995P uses proprietary grip mounting that doesn't accept AR-15 pattern grips without modification. The factory grip is molded into the polymer frame and requires specialized adapters from Hi-Point for replacement. Most aftermarket solutions add $25-40 to the total cost and may affect warranty coverage.
- Does it fit in a standard pistol case?
- Yes, but only in cases designed for carbines or larger handguns due to the 20.75-inch overall length. A 24-inch hard case provides adequate clearance for the brace in its folded position. Standard 18-inch pistol cases will not accommodate this platform without disassembly.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Most FFL shipments process within 3-5 business days after payment verification through Ironclad Armory's distribution network. Delivery times vary by location but typically add 2-7 additional days depending on carrier selection. All firearms require signature confirmation at the receiving FFL.
- Does this work with Glock magazines?
- No, the 995P uses proprietary Hi-Point magazines that are not cross-compatible with Glock patterns. The factory 10-round magazine is the only supported option without aftermarket adapters. ProMag offers extended 15-round versions for approximately $25, but reliability varies significantly from the factory magazine.
