Key Features
- Internal recoil buffer – This built-in system reduces felt recoil and protects the action, making follow-up shots faster and more comfortable, especially for newer shooters.
- Weaver-style accessory rails – The forend comes with integrated rails, so you can mount a light, laser, or red dot without needing aftermarket adapters. Why it matters: you can set up the carbine exactly how you need it for home defense or range use.
- Last-round lock-open – The bolt stays open after the last round, giving you a clear visual and tactile cue that the gun is empty. This is a simple but critical safety feature that also speeds up reloads.
- Grip-mounted magazine release – The release is positioned right at your thumb, so you can drop the empty magazine without shifting your firing grip. Why it matters: keeps you on target during reloads.
- Fully adjustable sights – The front post and rear peep sight are both adjustable for windage and elevation, letting you zero the carbine to your preferred load or shooting distance.
Who It's For
This carbine is a great choice for anyone who wants a .45 ACP rifle that’s affordable, easy to shoot, and built to last. It’s especially well-suited for new gun owners looking for a low-recoil, high-capacity platform for home defense, plinking, or range practice. Because it shares ammo with many popular .45 ACP handguns, it’s also a smart companion gun for anyone who already carries a .45.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Very affordable price point; reliable cycling with a wide range of .45 ACP ammo; low recoil thanks to the buffer system; includes accessory rails and adjustable sights out of the box; backed by Hi-Point’s lifetime warranty.
Cons: The stock is functional but feels less refined than higher-end carbines—some shooters note the trigger has a bit of take-up and grit. It’s also heavier than some competitors, but that weight helps manage recoil.

Is this carbine legal in my state?
Hi-Point carbines are generally legal in most states, but always check your local laws regarding magazine capacity and firearm features. We ship nationwide to all 50 states where legal.
How does the recoil compare to a .45 ACP pistol?
The recoil is noticeably softer than a .45 ACP pistol thanks to the carbine’s weight, longer barrel, and internal recoil buffer. Most shooters find it very manageable, even for beginners.
What is the barrel twist rate?
Per Hi-Point specs, the 17.5-inch barrel has a 1:16 twist rate, which stabilizes standard .45 ACP bullets well.
