Finally bought a 995TS. Any suggestions for a Hipoint noob?

It's been a long journey to me finally owing a 995. I had one ordered a couple of years ago, but I ended up selling it to the FFL handling my transfer and bought an AR instead. However, every time I see a 995 at the local fun shop, I'm always tempted. Saw another one a few days ago at the newly-opened Rural King (love that store). Wasn't the absolute best price, but was in the ballpark. When the wife suggested I buy it, I finally took the plunge. Haven't had time to even shoot it yet (Halloween with the kids and church took up my weekend), but if the weather holds, I'm going to run a few rounds through it this evening.

I'm going to snake the barrel and number my magazines (I actually still have the mag holder and two mags I ordered from MOM a couple of years ago). Any other suggestions to make the 995 run better? I'm not a firearm noob but this is my first Hipoint. Would greatly appreciate any input!

 

Well guys, took the 995 out back and ran a few mags through her, mainly shooting some Gatorade bottles. Ran flawlessly with 115 FMJ and some hollow points. Did a couple of mag dumps and it ran without a hitch. My only concern was that it was getting dusky by the time I was able to shoot, and it's hard to see through that the peep sight in low light. I'll put up some targets tomorrow and take a closer look at accuracy.

I like it a lot! I can't wait to put more rounds though her. I think I might break down and put a red dot on it. Seems to be a fairly sweet shooter right out of the box, though. Just not sure how I like the stock sights.

 

Still haven't had a chance to put more rounds through my 995. I did, however, pick up some Federal aluminum ammo today. Never thought to check for advice on how it runs. Seem some 995s like it, some don't. I've been stocking up on 9mm for a while, so at worst, the alum stuff can go into the SHTF barter pile.

On a side note, does anyone here reload 9mm? If so, what's a rough ballpark on what a reloaded round costs? I own a few 9mm handguns and an AR-15, which I've heard are about the least cost effective rounds to reload. However, I also have a 1911, and I know I can save on reloading .45 ACP. I'm tempted to get into reloading. Might save enough to buy a 4595

 

Took the 995 out again today and ran a few hundred rounds of Federal aluminum through it. Ran without a hitch! All of my mags seem to run just fine. Shot some good groups, so it is pretty much dead on straight out of the box. I like the iron sights because they are accurate, but it takes me a while to acquire the target. Probably will go with a red dot in the near future.

The only thing I don't like about the 995 is that feeling where you're shooting well and click, it's empty. While 10 rounds helps me pace my ammo use, sometimes it's just not enough!
