Description
Picture this: you need a reliable, no-fuss carbine for home defense or ranch patrol that won’t break the bank. You need something that goes bang every time, is easy to handle, and keeps you on the right side of compliance. That’s the exact scenario the Hi-Point 4095TS, .40 S&W, 17,5″ Barrel, 10rd, CA Compliant, Black is built for.
The Hi-Point 4095TS is a California-compliant carbine chambered in .40 S&W. It features a 17.5-inch barrel, a 10-round magazine, and a simple blowback action in a black synthetic stock. It’s a budget-friendly, utilitarian firearm designed for reliable function in defensive and recreational roles where cost and compliance are primary concerns.
When it comes to home defense, a long gun offers significant advantages in stability and accuracy over a handgun, especially under stress. The 4095TS delivers the potent .40 S&W cartridge from a stable carbine platform, making follow-up shots more manageable. The long sight radius of the 17.5-inch barrel aids in precise shot placement. This isn’t a precision competition gun—it’s a tool for concrete, practical scenarios where reliability is non-negotiable. The simple blowback operation means fewer moving parts and a robust design that’s known for eating almost any ammunition you feed it. At a price point of $390.75, it represents one of the most accessible centerfire carbines on the market.
Look, the design prioritizes function. The synthetic stock is durable and houses the action efficiently. The manual safety is ambidextrous and positive. Sling mounts are integrated, allowing you to keep the carbine ready and secure. It’s a system that fits out of the box with minimal fuss. While it uses proprietary Hi-Point magazines, its 10-round capacity meets stringent state requirements without modification. This carbine is compatible with standard .40 S&W ammunition from all major manufacturers like Federal, Winchester, and Hornady, giving you flexibility in your load selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Hi-Point 4095TS ready to use right away?
