I think that's why my wife accepts me still.

This thing is butt ugly. In no way is it pleasing to my eyes.

Wow, you can say that again!



Happy shooting.

The factory stock makes it look like... a Hi-Point and nothing else I'm aware of.

I was shooting it yesterday and cut a tree branch about as thick as my pinkie in half with this red dot, standing free, from 25 yards. I haven't even sighted it in from the bench yet, just made a few guesses to get it to hit water bottles at 50 yards while standing.

I figured the ergonomics and sighting system were good enough at that point in time.


This is a picture of someone else's ATI stock fitted 995 carbine.


This is the Hi-Point stock due out later this year.

I'm really drooling over the bottom one. A few too many rails for my taste, but they would come in handy during coon season when I mount lights. I figure a ball round to the head won't do much more damage than a .22.

Regardless of what I end up getting, right now I just slid a piece of a bicycle innertube over the pistol grip. That thing was slick before I did that.

Have you looked up the numbers to see how much extra velocity you'll be getting out of 9mm with that longer barrel? It's probably a nice increase.

It is not nearly what you'd think it would be. You get a bigger increase out of the very light bullets (95gr) whereas the heavy bullets gain only a negligible amount. I have piles upon piles of data on this as I have been going round and round at my gun club over this very issue. (though it has made 0 difference)
