A need finally filled
Dayton OH -(AmmoLand.com)- Hi-Point 9mm (Model 995) carbines are known for their robust construction, accuracy, reliability, and affordability.
The only “problem”: The 9mm Hi-Point OEM magazines hold 10 rounds. For engineering reasons and due to the huge volume of sales of the 9mm carbine with the 10-round magazine, there were no plans by Hi-Point to make a higher capacity magazine.
The solution: The Redball, a one-piece, 20-round, single-stack magazine for the Hi-Point carbine. This great-looking articulated magazine fits and feeds the 9mm Hi-Point carbine without fail. Moreover, it is the only high-capacity magazine tested and approved by Hi-Point firearms and MKS Supply.
It looks like two magazines welded together, but what looks like a mid-point weld area is actually a polymer-molded magazine well stabilizer called a locking plate that makes the magazine fit firmly in the carbine’s grip to prevent wiggle and thus increase ammunition feed reliability.
There are plans to offer the Redball magazine for Hi-Point’s .40 and .45 ACP carbines in the future, but the company wanted to guarantee this concept, get things patented and satisfy the current 9mm demand first, so one new magazine is all they can take on presently.
Specifications:
- 20-round capacity (currently 9mm only)
- Heat-treated steel body; black oxide finish
- Polymer base, follower and locking plate
- MSRP $24.99

I have the 995 and also the Hi Tower bullpup frame for it, why I spend money on it? Simple..the 995 works without a hiccup, but the single stack 10 rounds is plainly unrealistic. 9mm rounds are a pain to load without a loader. More capacity equals more fun in between loads. What I been thinking is to weld a 10 round mag to a any drum over 20-30 or 50 rounds…the thing is to find a drum like so for the conversion. There is one guy on youtube with the 45 version using a drum for it. Not impossible,… Read more »
Should make a 20 round magazine for the JCP 40 hipoint pistol
I bought two 20 round red balls magazines. They were fine as long as you don’t put more than 12 or 13 Rounds in them. I agree with everyone else the 10 Rounds that come with the rifles fall short.
I like and own three 9mm Hi Point carbines of the old and new designs. Their 10 magazines work great. Unfortunately none of the six 20 round Redball magazines would function properly in any of my guns. They wouldn’t feed JHP and even FMJ and would only function with 13 or less rounds. The company was kind enough to refund my money but hopefully the worked out the problems. I had the problems in 2017.
Just when you thought it was safe Hi Point throws a 10 mm at us. 1095TS model they didn’t make enough mags for us gun lovers, out of stock at this time. Have other four models and love the no jam factors. Just got the 10mm so I thought I would give a heads up. KEEP ON PULLING
Re: HP 995 Carbine in 9mm. Boy, what an ugly gun! BUT… darn thing is accurite (50 yards, factory sights), and even after 3000 rds, it don’t fail. Two months and 10,000 rds later, still going stong. We use the Redball 20 rd mags, with MagTech ammo. They’re a bit difficult to load (because of their “dog-leg” shape), but they have been very reliable and surprizingly durable. If HP or Redball were to come out with, say, a 50+ rd mag or drum, I doubt they would be able to make them fast enough to satisfy dealer stock. HP seems… Read more »
so my understanding is, if i go an spend the 30 bucks, my 2017 c9 will not jam and work fine with this mag?
Do they have a 40 cal extended magazine
What about the 45acp magazine at least by now I thought would be available?!! A 30 – 50rd drum would be great, but a single stack into the grip and a double stack beneath it could be 29rds for 45acp should be easy to make
I own a C-9 and a 995 carbine, just ordered the 4595 will have it about the 9th of December. I have purchased two 20 round Redball magazines. They both work well in the two weapons, however with the 20 Rnd. mag sticking out of the C-9 it looks rather rediculous! And is cumbersome to say the least…
