Heyo guys. So I was looking into getting the Hi-Point .45 ACP carbine (4595TS) and I've read many reviews saying that it is a terrible gun because it looks "ugly", and I have watched YouTube reviews of it and people say it's a great gun. My question for anyone with experience with this gun is this: Would it really be a good buy? I know of a place where I can get it for $280 in VERY GOOD condition. That price is combined with the Hi-Point lifetime warranty, which can only be voided if you put a certain extended mag in the gun. I don't care about the extended mag though, so this wouldn't be a problem for me. Any advice??? Thanks.

I don't have any experience with it.

I don't know much about it.

I would never get one.

If you want one go for it. You may be better off with a 22 or 9mm due to ammo cost.

They're great guns. People don't like them because they're cheap. They are reliable and accurate, owners love them. I want the .40 to go with my JCP, the mags are interchangeable, same with the .45. Not so with the 9mm.

I know a man (whom I respect) who owns one. He says its ugly enough to make a man cry. But, ugly is as ugly does. He calls his 'Beauty'.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if it came with a higher capacity magazine. I've done a lot of research on them. I think you can buy with confidence and feel good about your purchase.

FYI - the warranty limitation applies only to the 9mm version. In fact the higher capacity mags tend to work pretty well in the .45 ACP.

If you're getting one, get the magazine clips for the stock as well.

I know I want one. Just can't currently afford one. You can get a brand new one from Impact guns for $278. Granted, you'd have to pay for the FFL transfer too when it was received.

I have a 9mm High-Point Carbine and love it. It is very accurate up to 50 yards and can usually hit a Coke Can at 100 yards within 4-5 shots. Has never once jammed on me and I really don't think it's ugly. My only gripe is the 10 round magazine. There is an after market company that sells a 15 round magazine that several people on the High Point Forum said were junk and I should have listened. I bought 2 of them and I have at least 1 failure to feed per magazine, usually more than 1. High-Point also has an outstanding Customer Service Department and a 100% Lifetime Warranty if the gun fails for any reason. You could submurge it in the ocean for 6 months, pull it out of the salt water and if it doesn't function 100% High-Point will repair or replace it.

I know that with the .45 ACP model you can modify extended 1911 mags to work with it and it's an easy modification to the mags.

Are there any 1911 Magazines with more than 9 rounds? The High-Point .45 carbine magazine is 9 rounds.

A bit interesting to disassemble... But that's ok
