My hi point carbine review

[Marty McFly]

i decided to bite the bullet and get a hi point carbine in .45 acp. At first glance it is ugly. The forgrip was a bit loose and with a washer i fixed that. I took it out with 500 rounds and expected a few hiccups since it was new. I loaded up 2 mags and dumped and dumped and dumped. No issues whatsoever. The sights were great and it was alot of fun. I have also ordered the 9mm version. Will let you know how that goes. But for the money it is a no brainer. Accurate at 100 yards. And just fun!!

I dont plan on selling it because i cant imagine what it would be worth used but ya you are right it is hella fun

That would make a great HD gun, especially in .45. I've honestly never heard anything bad about these guns, other than some comments on the aesthetics. I almost bought a 9mm version many years ago, but while I had it on hold, the Sub2k I had been waiting months for came in, so I bought that instead. For the money, those Hi-points can't be beat if in the market for a fun pistol caliber carbine.

So funny person after person always says: "I pulled it out of the box and laughed, half plastic, looks like it should be in with my kids toys and red ryder. Then I took it to the range and proceeded to dump 1000 rounds through it flawlessly, I'm quite impressed!"

That was my exact reaction. I bought it used and it even came with a cheap $10 airsoft scope!

Picked up the 4595 just yesterday. Hoping to shoot it this weekend but for the price I cant see being disappointed.

You won't be disappointed. The iron sights are probably its best feature. I have terrible eyesight and I usually need a magnified scope for any rifle/carbine but with my 9mm Hipoint I can hit the 10x ring easily up to 75' - 100' consistently (I usually don't take it out on to the longer ranges so I haven't really tried from longer distances). That and it eats any ammo you shove in it.

Thanks for your feed back. Every thing I read seems to be good reviews and a lot of people saying the same about the iron sights.

I really like the cheap pistol carbine but can't swallow how ugly they are lol

 

[roccoracer]

I have the 4595 also. I have not had even a single issue with mine. I am able to hit a 12inch plate at 100 yards shootin quickly. It really is a excellent firearm for the money.

I love when I see them in the hands of thugs when I watch cop shows or underground

 

[AngelKing]

while they're as ugly as what Rosie ODonnel leaves in the toilet every morning, I can't knock the HP, especially in .45 - they're fun to shoot, pretty easy to maintain and overall, very practical.

Who cares what it looks lie? If it shoots straight and shoots solid, then its a good carbine.

 

[AngelKing]

Yep....and at the risk of pissing off the GlockStars on the forum....Glocks are ugly as sin, but they're to 1911s as fat girls are to strippers - fat girls will take care of you, clean your house and make a damned good dinner. Strippers? pretty to show off to your friends, but may leave you wanting for more when it matters most.

I have both the 9MM and the 45ACp versions and they are great. I have not had any issues at all.

How well do they feed JHP ammo?

 

[AngelKing]

I may buy one sometime soon. in my experience, it handled pretty much all JHP very well - from the hornady zombiecrap to UMC and blazer, no issues. My friend said his had one FTF with a handload, but even he thinks it was the ammo and not the gun.

If it wasn't such a pain in the ass to clean i would get one.

Supposedly you only clean them every 2000 rounds but i can say they shoot great dirty. Took it out again today and fired 1000 rounds through it. I am now broke but happy.

I regret not getting a marlin camp carbine in the 90's when they were more affordable and plentiful. One of these might have to step in

 

[Marty McFly]

Well i liked the 4595ts so much i decided to get the 9mm too. I just brought it home a couple days ago and will try it out this weekend. Very excited.

Go with a Sub2000 that accepts Glock Mags
