The 45 acp being a lower velocity round, would it be as practical as a 9mm or a .40?I spoke with the folks at Hi-Point earlier this week when I had my 9mm pistol in for repair. They tell me that they anticipate it to be available by August. They could not, however, give me an estimated price. My guess is that it will sell like hotcakes whatever the price, especially if the liberal gun-control idiots try to ban it.
At least as practical as my 45 XD which could knock down anything I care to shoot. If I am not mistaken the longer barrel of a carbine increases fps slightly so I see no reason for it not to be a great idea. If I bought a 45 carbine it would be more of a TSHTF weapon and have to be VERY reliable otherwise I stick with the AK, plinking would be out since 45 ACP aint cheap now days.The 45 acp being a lower velocity round, would it be as practical as a 9mm or a .40?I spoke with the folks at Hi-Point earlier this week when I had my 9mm pistol in for repair.

I must say, however, that I do like the idea of having a rifle and a pistol that use the same ammo!
Which carbine you use? Im going to be in the market for a higher reliability carbine next fall if we don't get Obama-ed in the meantime. I've looked at the Storm you using one of those?my tommy gun is a 45 carbine ,and i was putting holes all the way thru 10" thick trees at 50 feet , so i'd imagine the longer barrel does give it quite a bit more oomph . if i didn't already have a 45 carbine i'd be itching for the hi-point 45 to come out .
That's just flat out COOL!nope , i've got a volunteer enterprises commando mark III , a knock off of the thompson .

Great site. Ive always loved carbines for obvious reasons but there's always been a lack of models out there for some reason. My first carbine was the M-1 .30 cal and I loved the damn thing before it was "lost" during a move. Wish I had replaced it then cause I cant find one for a decent price now.nope , i've got a volunteer enterprises commando mark III , a knock off of the thompson .

Talked to HP Wednesday, was told the new stock was coming in April, then 4595 a couple months later.Now it's August?
In February, they were saying April.
I'm starting to have doubts.
Probably would be better for PR if they had just said "TBA" until they had product in boxes, with price tags, ready to ship. That way, folks don't feel let down every time there is a delay. Just my two cents, as a retail guy.
any idea what one of them would go for right about nownope , i've got a volunteer enterprises commando mark III , a knock off of the thompson .

Talked to Beemiller's tech shop yesterday. He said June on the 4595's.The 4595 will not be released for at least a month.
You can read all about it in the "Sticky" they have & do a search to find other posts with pictures of the new stock they are releasing.
