Hi-Point 4595P .45 ACP Threaded Brace, 2 Mags
About this product
The Hi-Point 4595P .45 ACP Threaded Brace is a polymer-framed, semi-automatic pistol platform designed specifically for Title II accessory compatibility with a factory-equipped pistol brace and threaded barrel. This configuration directly addresses the demand for a controlled-shooting pistol that can accept suppressors without permanent modification. It ships with two magazines, making it immediately functional for range use or defensive consideration within the current regulatory landscape.
What is the Hi-Point 4595P .45 ACP Threaded Brace used for?
This pistol is designed for range training, suppressor host duty, and as a regulated alternative to short-barreled rifles for shooters valuing simplicity and cost-efficiency. The integral pistol brace provides a third point of contact for improved shot-to-shot recovery, while the 1/2x28 threaded 5.1-inch barrel is ready for muzzle devices. Its 9+1 round capacity and 47.5-ounce weight make it a manageable, high-recoil-energy platform for familiarization with the .45 ACP cartridge under braced conditions.
How does the Hi-Point 4595P compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The 4595P is better at short-range, rapid engagement under NFA constraints, while the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win is superior for precision shooting beyond 100 yards. The Hi-Point serves as a pistol-registered host for stabilization and sound suppression, whereas the Stevens 334 is a dedicated, centerfire bolt-action rifle built for accuracy. The 4595P operates at roughly 1/3 the cost and avoids the Form 1/Form 4 wait times associated with SBRs, but cannot match the Stevens platform's inherent long-range ballistic capability.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The unloaded weight is 47.5 ounces, and the overall length with the brace folded is 20.5 inches. The slide width measures 1.2 inches, and the brace itself adds 5.7 inches of extended length when deployed. These dimensions make it a compact, albeit dense, package that fits into most standard pistol cases, though its overall profile is significantly larger than a traditional handgun like a Glock 21.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not for the collector seeking refined fit and finish or the competitor needing a high-round-count, low-maintenance platform. Its polymer construction and utilitarian design prioritize function over aesthetic appeal, and its takedown process is more involved than that of a Stevens 334 in .243 Win. Shooters who prioritize fast magazine changes or aftermarket accessory compatibility will find the ecosystem limited compared to more popular pistol carbines.
What's in the box?
The package includes the pistol, one installed pistol brace, two 9-round magazines, a cable lock, and the owner's manual. Notably, it does not include thread protectors, a cleaning kit, or a hard case—expect only functional, no-frills packaging. The two magazines allow for immediate training cycles without additional purchase, a practical inclusion for a duty-ready platform.
Is the Hi-Point 4595P worth it at $533.99?
At $533.99, it represents significant value as a complete, braced, and threaded .45 ACP host that requires no gunsmithing. The cost of adding a brace and threading a barrel to a standard pistol often exceeds this total price point. For the shooter seeking a dedicated suppressor platform or a stable training tool that operates within pistol regulations, it eliminates approximately $200 in gunsmithing fees and 4-6 weeks of waiting time.

Frequently asked questions
- What thread pattern is the barrel?
- The barrel is threaded 1/2x28 TPI, the most common pattern for .45 caliber pistol suppressors and compensators. This matches the threading used by major suppressor manufacturers like SilencerCo and Dead Air for their .45 models. No adapter is needed for standard devices.
- Is the brace adjustable?
- No, the factory-installed pistol brace is a fixed-position, non-adjustable design. It provides a single, predetermined length of pull of approximately 10.5 inches. This is a deliberate choice for durability and to maintain a consistent classification as a pistol brace under ATF evaluation criteria.
- Are additional magazines available?
- Yes, factory 9-round magazines for the 4595 series are available through Hi-Point's direct store and many online retailers like MidwayUSA. Expect to pay between $22 and $28 per magazine. The magazines are identical to those used in the standard Hi-Point JHP .45 pistol.
- Will a standard 1911 holster fit this?
- No, the integrated brace and overall dimensions prevent compatibility with traditional handgun holsters. You will need a dedicated soft case or a purpose-built range bag with dimensions exceeding 22 inches in length. Some manufacturers offer custom chest rigs or scabbards for braced pistols.
- Can I attach a sling to the brace?
- The factory brace does not have integrated sling attachment points. Attachment requires aftermarket modification, such as drilling and installing a QD cup or using a strap-on sling adapter, which may affect the brace's structural integrity and legal classification. Consult an FFL/SOT before modification.
- What is the shipping time?
- For in-stock items, processing and shipment to your chosen FFL typically occurs within 2-3 business days. Transit time depends on carrier and distance, but continental US delivery generally adds 3-7 business days. The product ships in a nondescript cardboard box via FedEx or UPS.
