Sling attachment guidance for the Hi-Point Carbine (995 / 4595 / 1095). Check your exact configuration and both connectors before choosing the McLean Dynamic Retention Sling (DRS). Factory attachment points do not by themselves confirm a direct fit.
Front attachment
Forend sling swivel stud (supplied, owner-installed) — factory attachment point.
Hi-Point’s carbine manual states that the carbine comes with a sling and two swivel studs. The owner removes two bolts shown in the manual’s Figure 1, one of them at the front of the forend, and threads the studs in their place. A stud needs a stud-mount swivel; it is not a QD cup.
Factory attachment point: a stud needs a compatible sling swivel to provide a loop. Confirm the swivel dimensions and attachment type; the sling hook does not attach directly to a bare stud.
Rear attachment
Buttstock sling swivel stud (supplied, owner-installed) — factory attachment point.
The second supplied stud replaces the bolt indicated at the butt end of the stock in the same figure. The manual says to snug the studs and not overtighten them. Check that both studs and the two sling buckles are present in the accessory pack.
Factory attachment point: a stud needs a compatible sling swivel to provide a loop. Confirm the swivel dimensions and attachment type; the sling hook does not attach directly to a bare stud.
Why this sling on the Hi-Point Carbine (995 / 4595 / 1095)
A PCC is short and light, which makes it easy to carry badly — slung loose it swings into everything. Competition and home-defence use both want it locked flat to the body between stages, then instantly free.
The McLean design is a two-point sling with a patented retention system: it cinches tight to hold the carbine against your body hands-free, then releases into a ready position in one pull. It ships in one size and adjusts, so there is no length to choose.
Fitting it
- Clear the carbine. Unload and clear it following the firearm manufacturer’s instructions before fitting any accessories.
- Front: confirm a compatible connector and follow the sling and attachment manufacturer instructions.
- Rear: confirm the matching connector for your stock or rear attachment; do not assume a slot, stud and QD cup are interchangeable.
- Adjust wearing your kit. A setting dialled in without a vest comes up short once it is on.
- Check the transition. It should shoulder without pulling tight across your chest.
Choosing hardware for your configuration
The manual cited covers the 3895, 995, 4095, 4595 and 1095 carbines with the current skeletonized stock. Older carbines with the earlier stock design and carbines fitted with aftermarket stocks should be checked for their own fittings.
Because the studs are supplied loose, a used carbine may not have them installed or included. The Picatinny rails on the carbine are a separate interface and need their own mount. Confirm the swivel type on the sling before assuming it fits a stud.
Questions
Does the McLean Dynamic Retention Sling (DRS) fit the Hi-Point Carbine (995 / 4595 / 1095)?
Compatibility depends on the exact configuration and connectors. Confirm both attachment points and the connector fit before ordering. A factory attachment point does not by itself confirm a direct fit for the McLean sling.
Do I need a snap hook for the front of my Hi-Point Carbine (995 / 4595 / 1095)?
The McLean sling already carries a front hook. Choose a compatible attachment loop or swivel for that hook, and confirm its clearance and closure on your exact setup before buying additional hardware.
What do I need to buy for the Hi-Point Carbine (995 / 4595 / 1095)?
Front: Factory attachment point: a stud needs a compatible sling swivel to provide a loop. Confirm the swivel dimensions and attachment type; the sling hook does not attach directly to a bare stud. Rear: Factory attachment point: a stud needs a compatible sling swivel to provide a loop. Confirm the swivel dimensions and attachment type; the sling hook does not attach directly to a bare stud.
What length sling do I need for the Hi-Point Carbine (995 / 4595 / 1095)?
There is no length to choose. The sling ships in one size and adjusts, so the same sling covers carry and cinched retention. Set it wearing the kit you actually carry in — a setting dialled in without a vest or heavy coat comes up short once it is on.
