A need finally filledMKS Supply, LLC, Dayton OH, April 2016-Hi-Point 9mm (Model 995) carbines are known for their robust construction, accuracy, reliability, and affordability.

The only “problem”: The 9mm Hi-Point OEM magazines hold 10 rounds. For engineering reasons and due to the huge volume of sales of the 9mm carbine with the 10-round magazine, there were no plans by Hi-Point to make a higher capacity magazine.

Moreover, it is the only high-capacity magazine tested and approved by Hi-Point firearms and MKS Supply. Read more
