I love hi-points c-9 but I also love my 995 but my only problem is that when I go to drop the mag it seems to stick and I also with we could get a bigger capacity not much more just 15 because always change the mag really sucks when your doing a run and gun and i wont use a promag because I was told by my gun dealer if you use promag it will void the warranty..Go HI-Point

ProMag
Emailed ProMag about problems with 15 round magazine and received this response.
The follower on that magazine was revised when Hi-point added the LRBHO feature to the new 995TS carbines. If you return the magazine to us we will exchange it for the new style follower / magazine we produce.
I sent my magazine to them (total cost $9.54 for postage, mailer, and insurance) with this reply;
As per your instructions (See Attached), enclosed is promag for Hi-Point 995ts carbine. The rear of the follower is being hit by the breech bolt and the front of the follower is not activating the hold open pin.
I currently enjoy other promag magazines for my Bersa Thunder 380 and hope to have a similar experience with these.
Thank You
Joe
P.S. I do appreciate your action in replacing the magazine however; I do not appreciate the added expense of shipping the magazine to you. You might consider putting together a small kit that can be sent to individuals so they could modify magazine in hand, send prepaid shipping packaging, or at least recall from stores those that need to be exchanged. Thanks!
I will let everyone know how the new magazine work when received.

has anyone looked into replacing the promag follower with a follower from a highpoint mag?
can't catch location on the promag clip be checked with a caliper?
I'm getting ready to pick up a carbine in either 9mm or .45 for home defense.
I would rather have 15 rounds in it rather than training my wife to do quick clip changes.
I'd really like to know if the modified 1911 15 round .45 clips are reliable.
10 rounds reliably is better than 15 and the possibility of a jam after the 1st

when I bought my rifle, it came with 3 mags. two of them were glued together. I didn't like the way they looked, so I un-glued them. just my personal preference, didn't want it to look any uglier than it already its. good idea though..

I didn't know this was possible with their 'no questions asked' warranty.

It is'nt. his local LGS was misinformed, I dont think anything will void a Hi Point warranty, I have seen where people have sent in chopped up and heavily modified firearms and got them back no questions asked, only thing is sometimes they have been brought back to factory so be aware and remove anything you want to keep if you send a heavily modded one in to mom.

Try this and see what happens
Had the same problem with the promag 15 rd not saeting in my TS but after I pulled the sleeve off it would click and seat so did a little carving with pocket knife and sanding (took about 15 minutes) and it fits in perfectly,clicks rightr in place now superglued sleeve all the way down and cycled the weapon through the clip without any problems ,after the feed lip adjustment of course

Consider using a 1911 style mag for higher cap.

Bought Promag 15 rd mags. Adjusted the feed lips. Bent them ouward slightly (very!) and kept fussing with them until I acheived Nirvana. Everything works great. Oh forgot to say 4095 is my rifle and I am somewhat of a gunsmith. Also polished inside of feed lips with 1200 grit emeroy cloth and finally with jeweler's rouge.

It's been thought on a lot over the years, and hasn't been worked out yet.I see I am not the only one who thought on that.
Probably because you'd have to weld/braze/attach some thin metal at a stress point, as well as shape the double stack to match the single stack part, and then design a two piece follower to allow for feeding of the last 8-9 rounds.
It just isn't practical, unless you get a communist Russian factory doing the work.
