Hi-Point 4595TS .45 ACP Carbine Kryptek Yeti 17.5″
About this product
What is the Hi-Point 4595TS .45 ACP Carbine Kryptek Yeti 17.5″? It's a blowback-operated .45 ACP carbine built for reliable performance in adverse conditions, featuring a polymer stock with integrated recoil buffer and multiple accessory mounting options. This carbine prioritizes mechanical simplicity over refinements, making it a straightforward choice for shooters who value function over form. The Kryptek Yeti finish provides effective concealment in snowy or winter woodland environments while the threaded barrel accommodates suppressors or muzzle devices without requiring aftermarket modification.
What is the Hi-Point 4595TS used for?
The 4595TS serves as a general-purpose defensive and recreational carbine effective out to 150 yards. Its 17.5-inch barrel provides meaningful velocity gains over pistol-length barrels, delivering approximately 150-200 fps increase compared to a 5-inch .45 ACP handgun. The platform excels at close-quarters training and property defense applications where its simple blowback operation ensures reliable function with minimal maintenance requirements.
How does the Hi-Point 4595TS compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Hi-Point carbine offers semi-automatic capability where the Stevens 334 operates as a bolt-action rifle. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win delivers superior long-range accuracy and energy, the Hi-Point provides faster follow-up shots with its 8-round magazine capacity. For defensive scenarios under 100 yards, the Hi-Point's rapid engagement capability gives it distinct advantage over the the Stevens 334 Rifle, though the Stevens remains superior for precision shooting applications.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The carbine weighs 7 pounds unloaded and measures 32 inches in overall length with a 17.5-inch barrel. The specific dimensions include a 13.5-inch length of pull and 1.5-inch wide polymer stock that accommodates most adult shooters comfortably. At 7 pounds, it's approximately 2 pounds heavier than many AR-platform carbines in similar configurations, contributing to reduced perceived recoil.
Who is this NOT for?
This carbine isn't suitable for competitive shooters seeking sub-MOA accuracy or tactical operators requiring ambidextrous controls. The fixed stock design and right-side-only charging handle create limitations for left-handed shooters, while the blowback operation produces more felt recoil than gas-operated systems. If you need precision beyond 3-4 MOA or require NFA-compliant features like folding stocks, consider the alternative platforms instead.
What's in the box?
The package includes the carbine, one 8-round magazine, trigger lock, and basic sling swivels. Notably absent are optic mounts or specialized cleaning tools, requiring approximately $50-100 additional investment for ready-to-use configuration. The included accessories provide basic function but experienced shooters will immediately recognize the need for aftermarket upgrades to maximize the platform's potential.
Is the Hi-Point 4595TS worth it at $388.99?
At $388.99, this carbine delivers exceptional value for budget-conscious shooters needing reliable .45 ACP performance. The price represents approximately 60% of comparable carbines from brands like Kel-Tec or Beretta, while providing similar functional capability. For the shooter who prioritizes mechanical reliability over aesthetic refinement, this carbine represents one of the most cost-effective entries into the pistol-caliber carbine market available today.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .45 ACP ammunition?
- Yes, the 4595TS fires all standard pressure .45 ACP ammunition measuring 1.200-1.275 inches in overall length. It reliably cycles 230 grain FMJ rounds at approximately 850 fps from the 17.5-inch barrel. Avoid +P ammunition as the blowback system isn't rated for sustained high-pressure use.
- Does it fit standard AR-15 accessories?
- No, the Picatinny rails accept universal optics but the stock and handguard use proprietary mounting systems. Accessory compatibility requires specific Hi-Point 4595TS models, though most red dot sights and flashlights mount directly to the 3.5-inch top rail. Magazines are also proprietary to Hi-Point's .45 ACP carbine platform.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days with ground shipping taking 5-7 additional days. Firearms ship to your local FFL dealer where you'll complete the required background check. Expedited shipping options add approximately $35 for 2-day delivery to participating FFLs.
- Can I return it if there are mechanical issues?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for defective products, but firearms require FFL transfer both directions. Hi-Point provides a lifetime warranty covering manufacturer defects, with typical repair turnaround of 3-4 weeks including shipping time. Cosmetic issues or buyer's remorse typically don't qualify for return on firearms.
- Does this work with .45 ACP suppressors?
- Yes, the .578x28 threaded barrel accommodates most .45 caliber suppressors with proper thread adapters. Testing shows consistent function with SilencerCo Octane 45 and Rugged Obsidian 45 models when using standard pressure ammunition. Ensure your suppressor's diameter clears the handguard - minimum 1.375 inches clearance required.
