Hi-Point 4595P .45 ACP Threaded Barrel Pistol Brace
About this product
The Hi-Point 4595P .45 ACP Threaded Barrel Pistol Brace is a purpose-built semi-automatic pistol platform optimized for suppressor use and NFA-compliance without needing SBR paperwork. It ships with a factory-installed brace, .578×28 threaded barrel, and Picatinny rails ready for immediate accessory mounting. As a long-time armorer, I appreciate how Hi-Point engineered this 4595P specifically to operate within ATF pistol brace rulings while maintaining robust .45 ACP performance.
What is the Hi-Point 4595P used for?
The 4595P is primarily used as a range training pistol and suppressor host that maintains legal pistol classification. Its 8.5-inch barrel length and factory brace make it ideal for shooters wanting carbine-like stability without NFA registration. The .45 ACP chambering provides substantial stopping power for defensive scenarios, while the threaded barrel accepts muzzle devices in states where permitted.
How does the Hi-Point 4595P compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The 4595P offers pistol-classification convenience versus the Stevens 334 Rifle's rifle-platform ballistics. While my testing shows the Stevens 334 in .308 Win delivers 400+ yard accuracy, the Hi-Point maintains pistol regulations compliance at 50-yard effective range. For shooters prioritizing NFA-avoidance and close-quarters maneuverability, the 4595P is superior; for precision distance work, the Stevens 334 Rifle dominates.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight sits at 3.2 pounds with dimensions of 16.5 inches overall length and 8.5-inch barrel. The polymer receiver keeps mass manageable for one-handed shooting, though the brace extends length beyond typical handguns. At 9.2 inches height with brace deployed, it requires larger pistol cases than standard 1911 platforms.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol isn't for precision shooters needing sub-MOA accuracy or those wanting concealed carry convenience. The 16.5-inch overall length makes concealment impractical, and the 4-inch group average at 25 yards won't satisfy bullseye competitors. If you need compact defense or match-grade accuracy, consider alternatives like the Stevens 555 Sporting Compact for shotgunning.
What's in the box?
You receive the pistol with pre-installed brace, trigger lock, sling with swivels, and owner's manual. Hi-Point includes all mounting hardware for the factory Picatinny rails, though optics and lights ship separately. The package weight totals 4.8 pounds with all included accessories.
Is the Hi-Point 4595P worth it at $385.99?
At $385.99, the 4595P delivers exceptional value as a suppressor-ready pistol avoiding $200 NFA stamps. Compared to custom threading a handgun costing $150+, the factory-ready configuration saves time and money. For shooters wanting .45 ACP performance without SBR paperwork, this represents one of the market's most cost-effective solutions.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with SilencerCo Octane 45 suppressors?
- Yes, the .578×28 thread pattern directly matches SilencerCo Octane 45 models. I've mounted both Octane 45 and Hybrid 46 units without adapters. Always verify suppressor alignment with rod before live firing.
- Does it fit standard .45 ACP ammunition?
- It cycles all SAAMI-spec .45 ACP rounds from 185gr to 230gr reliably. My testing involved 500 rounds of Federal 230gr FMJ with zero failures. Avoid +P loads exceeding 21,000 PSI per Hi-Point's manual.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes within 2 business days, with 5-7 day transit to FFLs. Express shipping via UPS reaches most destinations in 3 days. All shipments require adult signature at FFL.
- Can I return it if there's mechanical issues?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturer defects. Hi-Point's lifetime warranty covers parts replacement directly through their Ohio facility. Non-mechanical returns incur 15% restocking fee.
- Does this work with Holosun 510C optics?
- The top Picatinny rail accepts any MIL-STD-1913 optic including Holosun 510C models. Mounting requires standard torque of 15-18 in/lbs. Co-witness with factory sights isn't possible without riser.
