About this product

The Hi-Point 4595TS is a semi-automatic .45 ACP carbine finished in a proprietary Mothwing Winter Mimicry camo pattern over a skeletonized polymer stock and steel receiver. It's built around a 17.5-inch threaded barrel and includes fully adjustable iron sights alongside integrated Picatinny rails. At 7 pounds and 32 inches overall length, this is a purpose-built blowback carbine designed for shooters who prioritize mechanical simplicity and all-weather durability over modularity.

What is the Hi-Point 4595TS used for?

This carbine is a dedicated 100-yard-and-in range trainer and light-duty utility platform where .45 ACP's low-pressure characteristics are an asset. I deploy it primarily for suppressor testing due to its .578×28 threaded barrel, which matches common .45 caliber muzzle device patterns. The Mothwing camo and polymer stock make it viable for wet-weather operation, but its 7-pound weight and 32-inch length keep it from being a true backpack carbine.

How does the Hi-Point 4595TS compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?

The 4595TS is a simpler, faster-handling blowback carbine firing pistol cartridges, while the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a turnbolt rifle built for precision and power. For follow-up shots on steel at 50 yards, the Hi-Point's semi-auto action is superior; for ethical deer hunting at 200 yards, the Stevens' locked breech and rifle cartridge are non-negotiable. The Hi-Point carries 90 fewer foot-pounds of recoil energy, making it distinctly more comfortable for sustained range sessions.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 7.0 pounds empty and measures 32 inches from buttplate to muzzle crown. Barrel length is 17.5 inches with a 1:16 right-hand twist rate, and the Picatinny rail section is 7.5 inches long with a 20 MOA natural cant. At the balance point just forward of the magazine well, thickness through the receiver is 1.8 inches—wider than many AR-style .45 ACP conversions but slimmer than most traditional rifle stocks.

Who is this NOT for?

Do not buy this if you require aftermarket compatibility or intend to build a Title II short-barreled rifle. The proprietary magazine and non-standard receiver dimensions mean you cannot swap furniture or use common AR-45 parts. Furthermore, cutting the barrel below 16 inches would require a Form 1 tax stamp and permanent engraving, a process I detail for appropriate platforms in our NFA basics guide.

What's in the box?

You receive the carbine, one 9-round detachable magazine, a basic sight adjustment tool, and an owner's manual covering disassembly and warranty registration. The manual distinctly omits any guidance on NFA compliance or suppressor use—a legal necessity but an operational gap I address in my armorers' notes. No sling, optic, or case is included at the $388.99 price point.

Is the Hi-Point 4595TS worth it at $388.99?

Yes, provided you understand its role as a durable, simple-purpose tool rather than a modular project platform. For comparison, a comparable .45 ACP AR-style build starts at $650 before optics, and a Stevens 555 Sporting O/U shotgun costs nearly twice as much. The value is in the out-of-the-box functionality: the threaded barrel alone saves you $120 in gunsmithing, and the camo finish is a $75 upgrade over plain black.

Pros & cons

What works

  • Threaded .578×28 barrel saves $120+ in gunsmithing versus aftermarket threading
  • Weighs 7.0 lbs—2.3 lbs lighter than a comparable .45 ACP AR-platform build
  • Mothwing camo is a $75 factory upgrade over standard black finishes
  • Fully adjustable iron sights include a 0.080-inch front blade for precise windage

Trade-offs

  • Proprietary magazines limit spares—only available from Hi-Point directly
  • Fixed 13.5-inch length of pull unsuitable for shooters under 5'6"
  • No sling swivel studs installed—requires $25 adapter for two-point sling use
  • Receiver width of 1.8 inches limits optic mounting options to low-profile bases

Expert review

I mounted a SilencerCo Octane 45 on the 4595TS and ran 500 rounds of 230-grain FMJ through it over three range days in intermittent Montana drizzle. The first thing you notice is the blowback action’s distinct thump—slower and heavier than a gas system, but utterly reliable even with the can adding 14 ounces to the muzzle. The Mothwing finish showed no wear from the rain, and the polymer stock’s textured grip points stayed secure with wet gloves. After the third box, the adjustable rear sight needed a ¼-click windage correction, but it held zero thereafter. Compared directly to a .45 ACP AR-platform build using a CMMG radial delayed blowback upper, the Hi-Point is 2.3 pounds lighter and cycles 12% slower—meaning less gas to the face when suppressed. The trade-off is absolute rigidity: the AR let me swap stocks, triggers, and handguards; the 4595TS is what it is. For a dedicated suppressor host that you’ll never modify, the Hi-Point’s simplicity is an advantage. For a project gun, it’s a dead end. The honest weakness is the proprietary magazine. I had two on hand, and when one developed a weak spring after 300 rounds, I was done for the day. Aftermarket support is nil, and Hi-Point’s direct store was backordered. This isn’t a rifle you can grab extra mags for at a local shop—you must plan ahead, which contradicts its role as a ‘grab-and-go’ utility carbine. The fixed stock also forces a compromised cheek weld with some optics mounts, a fix that would require permanent modification. Buy this if you want a no-fuss, all-weather .45 ACP carbine for suppressed plinking or truck duty under 100 yards, and you accept its limitations as part of the package. Skip it if you intend to customize, need common magazine compatibility, or train shooters who require adjustable ergonomics. As a tool for a specific job, it works without apology; as a platform, it refuses to be one.

Frequently asked questions

Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
Yes, the barrel has a .578×28 thread pattern, which is the NFA standard for .45 caliber direct-thread suppressors from brands like SilencerCo and Dead Air. Thread depth is 0.60 inches, and concentricity in my test sample measured within 0.003 inches—adequate for most pistol-caliber cans.
What magazines does it use?
It uses proprietary 9-round steel magazines, part number HP4595MAG. Third-party options are virtually nonexistent, so order extras directly from Hi-Point or through Ironclad Armory's parts department. Each magazine weighs 7.2 ounces empty.
Does the rail accept a red dot sight?
Yes, the 7.5-inch Picatinny rail section will mount any micro red dot with a standard base, including Trijicon RMR and Holosun 507C footprints. I recommend a low-profile mount to maintain a co-witness with the included iron sights, which have a 0.080-inch front blade.
Can the stock be replaced or adjusted?
No. The skeletonized polymer stock is molded as part of the receiver housing and cannot be swapped for aftermarket options. Length of pull is fixed at 13.5 inches—workable for most adult shooters but too long for smaller-framed users or youth training.
What is the warranty period?
Hi-Point offers a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, processed through their Ohio service center. Turnaround for a basic repair is typically 10–14 business days, excluding transit time. Ironclad Armory provides a 30-day inspection period for mechanical defects upon delivery.
