About this product
What is the Hi-Point 4595P .45 ACP 14.25-inch Threaded Barrel Pistol?
The Hi-Point 4595P is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a 14.25-inch threaded barrel and polymer receiver, designed as a direct, budget-friendly platform for suppressor use or accessory mounting. It ships with a single magazine and employs a simple blowback action that prioritizes reliability over refinement. Its defining mechanical feature is that 14.25-inch barrel length, which creates a specific classification scenario under the National Firearms Act that every prospective buyer must understand before purchase.
What is the Hi-Point 4595P used for?
The Hi-Point 4595P is engineered as a dedicated host pistol for .45 ACP suppressors, where its fixed long barrel provides consistent alignment and minimizes baffle strikes. Its 14.25-inch barrel also makes it an effective training tool for shooters familiarizing themselves with the handling characteristics of firearm configurations near the legal definition of a rifle, without the stamp. The integrated 12 and 6 o'clock Picatinny rails allow for stable mounting of a white light and a secondary laser or bipod, making it suitable for low-light range sessions or as a compact, hard-hitting truck gun where space is constrained.
How does the Hi-Point 4595P compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Hi-Point 4595P offers a substantially different manual of arms and purpose than a bolt-action rifle like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win, trading long-range precision for close-quarters utility and suppressor readiness. Where the Stevens 334 is a dedicated, single-shot precision platform capable of ethical shots out to 400 yards with match ammunition, the 4595P is a semi-automatic, close-range tool; the Stevens is objectively superior for hunting medium game, while the Hi-Point is better suited for stationary defensive scenarios or as a suppressed range toy where its simple action can handle subsonic .45 ACP reliably.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Hi-Point 4595P weighs in at a notable 4.2 pounds unloaded, a direct result of its steel slide and long, 14.25-inch barrel mounted on a polymer frame. Its overall length is 24.5 inches from the muzzle threads to the rear of the grip frame, with a height of 7.8 inches from the top of the ghost ring sight to the base of the magazine well. This weight and balance point far forward of the grip makes it feel less like a traditional handgun and more like a very compact carbine, a handling characteristic that requires active thumb-over-bore support for controlled strings of fire.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is unsuitable for concealed carry or any situation requiring a compact defensive firearm, as its dimensions and weight make discreet carry impractical. It is also a poor choice for shooters seeking a refined, accurate target pistol for bullseye competition, as its blowback action and factory sights prioritize durability and speed over single-hole precision. Finally, it is absolutely not for buyers unwilling to navigate NFA paperwork, as attaching a stock or vertical foregrip to this platform would immediately create an unregistered Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR).
What's in the box?
The factory packaging includes the pistol itself, one single-stack 8-round .45 ACP magazine, a thread protector for the ½x28 TPI barrel threads, and the standard owner's manual with warranty information. Notably absent is any form of hard case or lock; the pistol ships in a cardboard box, which reflects its budget positioning. You will need to source a suppressor-ready thread pitch adapter separately if your .45 caliber silencer uses a different mounting system, such as ⅝x24 or .578x28.
Is the Hi-Point 4595P worth it at $370.99?
Yes, the Hi-Point 4595P represents a specific value proposition at $370.99 for the shooter who needs a no-frills, durable host for a .45 ACP suppressor and understands its legal limitations. You are paying for a functional, warranty-backed firearm with a threaded barrel and usable sights, avoiding the $150-$300 cost of having a gunsmith thread a standard pistol barrel. For comparison, building a similar long-barreled, threaded Glock 21 clone from an 80% frame and aftermarket parts would start at over $600 before the optic, making the 4595P a rational choice for its singular purpose. Consider it a specialized tool, like the Stevens 555 Sporting shotgun is for clays, rather than a do-everything sidearm.
Specs at a glance
Pros & cons
What works
- 14.25-inch threaded barrel is suppressor-ready out of the box — eliminates $200+ gunsmithing cost
- Weighs 4.2 lbs — provides stable, muzzle-heavy platform for controlled follow-up shots with .45 ACP
- HiViz fiber optic front sight is 3mm diameter — provides a bright, fast acquisition point in daylight
- Integrated 12 and 6 o'clock Picatinny rails — allows simultaneous mounting of a light and bipod or laser
Trade-offs
- Single 8-round magazine included — a second magazine is a mandatory $35 additional purchase for practical use
- No optics cut on slide — requires a bulky rail-mounted adapter for red dots, adding 1.5 inches to height
- Blowback action generates stout felt recoil — more pronounced than a locked-breech design like a 1911
- Non-standard takedown requires a hex key — not a simple field-strip like a Glock or SIG

Frequently asked questions
- Is the threaded barrel compatible with a SilencerCo Octane 45?
- Yes, the Hi-Point 4595P's ½x28 threaded barrel is directly compatible with the SilencerCo Octane 45 suppressor using the standard piston assembly. You must ensure you have the correct .45 ACP piston (SilencerCo Part #AC244) installed, as using a 9mm piston will cause alignment issues. The 14.25-inch barrel provides ample clearance for the suppressor's diameter without interfering with the front sight post.
- Does it fit in a standard pistol safe?
- No, the Hi-Point 4595P will not fit in most standard pistol safes due to its 24.5-inch overall length. You will need a compact rifle safe or a dedicated long-gun cabinet with a minimum interior length of 26 inches to accommodate it safely with the thread protector installed. For transport, a 28-inch rifle case is the minimum practical size.
- How many rounds does the magazine hold?
- The included factory magazine holds 8 rounds of .45 ACP in a single-stack configuration. Aftermarket magazines from ProMag are available and increase capacity to 10 rounds, but I have found them to be less reliable with certain hollow-point ammunition types, particularly in the last two rounds of the magazine.
- Can I mount a red dot optic on this pistol?
- Not directly; the Hi-Point 4595P does not have an optics cut on its slide. To mount a red dot, you must use a Picatinny rail adapter plate that attaches to the 12 o'clock rail, which will significantly increase the sight height over bore. This adds approximately 1.5 inches to the overall height and can make finding a holster nearly impossible, but it is a functional solution for a stationary range setup.
