Monkey gun, huh? Suppose you only paid peanuts for it too! Makes me sad again that I got rid of my .40 cal gun and ammo.

Yep, That's the one. Last 40 I've seen around here since too. Plenty of 995TS though. They seem to be around $200+ tax, in the KY shops, a little more in Indiana. |

That is a great price for the 40! I paid 200 for my 995 carbine with it's original stock here in Florida.

I think the word is getting out on HP. Anyone who got ( or gets) one of these carbines for much less than $250 can consider himself to have not gotten hurt( imo). Ape, I thought of you the whole time puttin' this up.   Have fired the gun a couple hundred rds, really just a couple of test drives, and no hiccups yet. Not much at paper but Wyatt Erc and I did shoot a couple groups at 25yds on a handgun range. Not a squirrel rifle but , plenty good for plinkin or HD if needed. |

I agree.....Ya can't go wrong with one of these carbines for the price. Great fun, pretty accurate and they'll run all day long! |

That thing is the cat's meow lemme tell ya. kb is being humble, and when we were at the range with it, we were both being a bit quick to pull the trigger I think.
We were on a timed range by the hour, and I know that gun is way better than I am in the way of accuracy. I believe it very well could be a squirrel gun, at least to 25yds like we were shooting that day. On a hunting trip by yourself with no time limit thoughts? Yes indeed.

Well if it's anything like my 995 then it's easily a squirrel gun. My 10 year old daughter was chopping off the tops of sunflowers from a bench rest at about 25 yards last time we were out.  |
