The pistol-style magazines for the 4095 .40 S&W carbine are fully interchangeable with the Hi-Point .40 S&W pistol. No such compatibility was advertised by Hi-Point regarding the original 995 carbine and the 9mm Hi-Point C-9 pistol; owners of both designs have reported that they are not completely interchangeable. The 8 shot pistol magazine is ...
How is this different from Hi-Point Carbine 9 mm? It isn't much different. However this one does list it under the carbines proper model number instead of calling it carbine 9mm. IMO the older article should be deleted. I think that a single article would suffice for all the Hi-Point carbines; they're all similar enough in design.
A fact from Hi-Point Firearms appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 November 2005. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that a Hi-point 995 Carbine Rifle was used in the Columbine High School massacre?

A Hi-Point JCP pistol. Hi-Point semi-automatic pistols are polymer framed handguns based on the blowback design. Different from other blowback design pistols such as the Walther PPK, the P-64, and the Astra 600 which use a heavy slide combined with a stiff recoil spring to hold the breech closed, these pistols use a heavier slide so they can use a softer recoil spring.
The Hi-Point Model C-9 is a polymer-framed, semi-automatic, blowback-operated pistol manufactured by Hi-Point Firearms. It is chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum and is rated to accept +P ammunition . It became well known for its low retail price of under $200.
Because all Hi-Point firearms are rated for +P ammunition the slides are even heftier than what would otherwise be necessary. When the last round is fired and ejected, the slide will lock in the open position. There is no slide release on the Hi-Point .45 JHP, so releasing the slide is performed by pulling the locked slide further back.
One frequent point of criticism is the substantial size and weight of the weapon. However, at 35 ounces with a 4.5" barrel, the firearm, with its 10+1 capacity, is the same size as the Colt M1911A1.45ACP with its 35 oz. weight and 7+1 capacity, which many [who?] consider to be concealable, [citation needed] while the 40SW is 0.75 inches shorter in length and only 0.1 inches wider.
