Nice set up there Dog (shoot'in shed) I've got one of the Hi Point TS9's or at least I did until my son "borrowed" it and has shot the dickens out of it. I placed a little inexpensive Reflex Sight on it, and he swears by it. "most accurate little carbine I've ever shot". Incidentally I've got a 15 round after market magazine for mine and it never has had a hic cup. I do reload for .40 S&W but don't own a Hi-Point handgun or carbine, just a Beretta and a Springfield. I'm sure you will enjoy that little carbine, you might try using Unique type powder for a bit slower burning powder.
