As one of the top sellers of firearms in the United States each year, Hi-Point has earned a reputation among the budget-conscious crowd. For this week’s NRA Gun of the Week, we feature the Hi-Point Carbine 4595TS, a blowback-operated carbine chambered in .45 ACP. Also available in .380 ACP, 9 mm Luger and .40 S&W, the Hi-Point Carbine is a sure head turner at the range. Available in a basic no-frills model to one that is fully tricked out with red-dot sight, laser, compensator and more, the .45 ACP variant comes standard with a 9-round detachable magazine that fits covertly within the pistol grip. Additional extended magazines are available. Hi-Point answers to its consumers with a wide variety of accessories, most of which are included on our test model. One of the handiest features is the addition of a magazine cloupler on the buttstock that grasps two spare magazines. At the high end of the pricing scale, a 4595TS loaded with all these accessories can be purchased for a little more than $480 and for more information, visit hi-pointfirearms.com

President’s Column | President Meets President

I am quite certain, that for the first time in NRA history the President of the United States met with the NRA president, the NRA president asked for his support for national Right-to-Carry (NRTC), and then, on a national stage, President Trump called out the NRA president’s name and pledged his support for national Right-to-Carry legislation. But that’s exactly what happened at a rally near Allentown, Pa., in late June.
