No I've never talked to anyone about them. I actually found a hi-point forum that gives a review of the 9mm carbine. I'm surprised there is a following but to each his own. It looks like the carbine is built from the pistol frame and has the same internals. Ugly as hell but hey.

As for ugliness, I will agree that the first 995 was very ugly looking

Like I said before, I wouldn't own one but I wouldn't badmouth someone who did. I don't know what circumstances existed for them to buy it. My grandpa's favorite saying: "to each his own". From what I understand though, the reputation for exploding is not correct. While I'm not a fan of these guns myself, I don't like it when rumors about weapons of any make are spread by people who have not used them, or not witnessed the failure firsthand.
Here is the youtube video of someone driving a steel bolt into the end of the barrel and firing it. If there were any conditions for it to explode, I'd think it'd be here. Besides a slight barrel bulge, the gun is fine. I'd love to find a video of one exploding as people ask me about guns all the time and I try my best to inform them about the facts without injecting my own personal feelings or bias.
