Hi-Point 4095TS 40 S&W 17.5in Carbine Pink Camo
Pros & cons
What works
- 17.5-inch threaded barrel (.578x28) ready for suppressors without NFA Form 1 modification
- Integrated Weaver/Picatinny rails provide 11 inches of total mounting real estate for optics/lights
- Blowback action is simple, with fewer than 10 total internal parts for ease of maintenance
- Price point of $314.99 is $185 less than a comparable Kel-Tec SUB-2000 base model
Trade-offs
- Fixed 13.5-inch length of pull is not adjustable, unsuitable for shooters with arm lengths under 30 inches or over 36 inches
- Weight is 7 lbs unloaded—1.8 lbs heavier than a Ruger PC Carbine—making it feel front-heavy and slow to shoulder
- Proprietary 10-round single-stack magazines limit reload speed and capacity compared to double-stack pistol-caliber carbines

About this product
What is the Hi-Point 4095TS 40 S&W 17.5in Carbine Pink Camo? It's a purpose-built, blowback-operated carbine chambered in .40 S&W designed for practical utility at a specific price point, not as a collector's piece or primary defensive tool. This is a platform centered around mechanical simplicity and NFA-adjacent adaptability, featuring a 17.5-inch barrel and a fixed polymer stock. Its value proposition lies entirely in its function-first design and compliance-friendly features like a threaded muzzle, not in its fit, finish, or the novelty of its pink camo 'Country Girl' finish.
What is the Hi-Point 4095TS 40 S&W used for?
The Hi-Point 4095TS is best used as a low-cost, reliable range tool for practicing carbine fundamentals and as a potential host for accessories like suppressors where barrel length and a straightforward blowback system are acceptable. It serves as an introductory platform for shooters new to the .40 S&W cartridge in a carbine platform or for those wanting a dedicated, durable firearm for property/truck use that won't cause financial distress if damaged. Its threaded barrel and integrated Picatinny rails make it adapter-friendly for muzzle devices and optics, though its 7-pound weight makes it less ideal for extended off-hand drills compared to lighter platforms like the Stevens 334 Rifle.
How does the Hi-Point 4095TS compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Hi-Point 4095TS is a blowback-action, pistol-caliber carbine, while the Stevens 334 is a traditional bolt-action rifle; the Stevens is mechanically superior for precision and handling higher-pressure rifle cartridges like .308 Winchester. The 4095TS offers higher potential magazine capacity (typically 10 rounds) and faster follow-up shots, but its practical accuracy at 100 yards is roughly 4-5 MOA with quality ammunition, whereas the Stevens 334 can achieve sub-2 MOA. For pure, no-frills utility and suppressor hosting under $350, the Hi-Point serves a niche; for hunting or precision shooting beyond 75 yards, the Stevens platform is objectively better.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, it weighs 7 pounds even, and its overall length is 32 inches from the muzzle threads to the rear of the polymer stock. The barrel alone is 17.5 inches long with a 1:10-inch right-hand twist rate, and the muzzle is threaded .578x28. This specific length keeps the overall configuration legal as a Title I firearm while providing a marginal ballistic advantage over a handgun-length barrel, and the weight is front-heavy, concentrating nearly 60% of the mass forward of the magazine well.
Who is this NOT for?
This carbine is not for the shooter seeking a refined, modern sporting rifle, a lightweight home defense option, or a precision instrument. The blowback action is inherently clunky compared to a gas-operated AR-9, and the fixed polymer stock offers no adjustability for length of pull, which averages 13.5 inches—problematic for very tall or very short shooters. It's also not for left-handed users, as the ejection port and safety are strictly configured for right-hand operation. Anyone expecting the smooth action of a Stevens 555 Sporting O/U will be disappointed.
What's in the box?
You receive the carbine itself, one 10-round single-stack polymer magazine, and a basic owner's manual covering field-stripping and warranty information. Ironclad Armory ships it in a compliant, non-descript cardboard box with appropriate locking provisions; no optic, sling, muzzle device, or cleaning kit is included. The carbine arrives with the rear peep sight centered in its windage adjustment track, which provides approximately 15 inches of total windage travel for zeroing.
Is the Hi-Point 4095TS 40 S&W worth it at $314.99?
At $314.99, it's worth it strictly as a functional, no-excuses tool for a specific set of uses: a suppressor host, a low-cost trainer, or a durable utility firearm. You are paying for a simple, overbuilt blowback action and a 17.5-inch threaded barrel in a legally compliant package, not for fine craftsmanship. For comparison, converting a Glock pistol to a similar carbine configuration with a chassis often starts at $250 for the chassis alone, without a dedicated barrel or receiver, making the Hi-Point a consolidated budget option.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .578x28 muzzle devices?
- Yes, the 17.5-inch barrel is threaded .578x28, which is a common muzzle thread pitch for .40 S&W and .45 ACP compensators and direct-thread suppressors from manufacturers like SilencerCo and Rugged. Ensure any muzzle device is rated for the .40 S&W cartridge's pressure and projectile diameter.
- Does it fit in a standard 36-inch rifle case?
- Yes, with room to spare. The carbine's overall length is 32 inches, so it will fit diagonally or straight in any case or bag with an internal dimension exceeding 33 inches. A Pelican 1750 case, for example, has an internal length of 49.5 inches and can accommodate it easily alongside accessories.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- Ironclad Armory processes in-stock firearms within 2 business days, and standard ground shipping to a licensed FFL dealer typically takes 5-7 business days. You must contact your chosen FFL in advance to provide their license and coordinate the transfer, which may involve an additional fee averaging $25.
- Can I return it if I don't like how it handles?
- No. Due to federal regulations, firearms transferred through an FFL cannot be returned for a refund simply due to buyer's preference. Ironclad Armory only accepts returns for un-fired, boxed firearms if there is a verifiable manufacturer defect discovered upon transfer inspection at your FFL.
- Does this work with aftermarket Hi-Point carbine stocks?
- No, not easily. The 4095TS uses a proprietary, non-removable fixed polymer stock that is integral to the receiver design. Replacing it requires significant gunsmithing and is not recommended, unlike AR-platform carbines which allow stock swaps with a single castle nut wrench in under 60 seconds.
