Modern compact carbines that balance utility, durability, and budget are rare. Tactical operators, range shooters, and responsible owners who need a dependable .40 S&W carbine without breaking the bank will appreciate a platform that combines simple controls, rugged construction, and accessory-ready ergonomics.

HI-POINT 4095TS is a purpose-built .40 SW carbine with an all-weather polymer skeletonized stock, internal recoil buffer, multiple Weaver-style rails, sling swivels, and a scope base. Its quick on/off thumb safety, grip-mounted magazine release, last-round lock-open feature, and fully adjustable sights (post front, peep rear) make it intuitive to run in training and defensive drills.

Key features and build

The HI-POINT 4095TS ships with a 17.5″ barrel yielding an overall length of 32″. The skeletonized polymer stock reduces weight and sheds moisture for all-weather reliability, while the internal recoil buffer softens felt impulse from .40 SW loads. Multiple Weaver-style rails allow red dot optics, lights, or backup iron sights to be mounted without gunsmithing. This model includes a 10-round magazine that is also compatible with JCHP40 handguns.

Caliber considerations and applications

.40 S&W bridges the gap between 9mm and .45 ACP with strong terminal performance in a compact package. In a carbine-length platform, .40 SW produces controllable recoil and improved ballistic consistency over longer distances compared to a handgun-length barrel. That makes HI-POINT 4095TS well-suited for personal defense, ranch use, or range work where versatility and magazine commonality with a pistol are advantages.

Ergonomics, controls, and sighting

Controls are straightforward: thumb safety for rapid manipulation, grip-mounted magazine release for positive reloads, and a last-round lock-open feature for immediate condition awareness. The adjustable post front and peep rear provide a reliable sight picture out of the box, and the scope base plus Weaver rails give owners options to tailor optics for close-quarters or mid-range engagements. At a market price of $351.99, this platform delivers features often found on far more expensive rifles. View product details
