Hickoks a teacher?!?!? His students are some of the luckiest people on the planet!
Britt Bremer Some say that if his students are late to class, he makes them recite The Second Amendment. If they don't know it, he makes them come to his range and reset the targets.
AR357 best thing I've read in a LONG time hahaha
Britt Bremer Does anyone know what is he teaching ?
AR357 ^demoranch? haha
kaisfarm1 I was wondering if anyone would get the reference.
I had him back when I was in 7th grade (I'm a sophomore in college now) and he is truly a funny and cool guy. I remember watching this video and all the funny jokes he said in it. We even had a "Shane day" where we all got to come to school dressed as cowboys/cowgirls. I can't believe it only been six years it seemed so much longer than that! Be safe Mr. K :)
what subject ?
@@zachgeorge98 I'm pretty sure social studies
@@zachgeorge98 Literature
'I ain't got any gold, but I got plenty of lead...bang...'
-hickok45
Your profile picture gave me nightmares... ;-;
***** His.
i think he said "i told you, you yellowbellies, we don't have any gold, but we have plenty of lead!!! i'm just clearing things up here.
+stan smith what is wrong with your chin
When does he say this?
I've never owned one of the new Vaqueros, but during my early days of shooing SASS matches, I used two Ruger Vaqueros with the Bisley grips. They were tanks!
I just spent an entire day watching this guy's videos, and I never cared about guns. These videos are fascinating.
brad pitt this comment was made two years ago how many Firearms do you own now LOL
Another 2 years, how many now?!
I live in a country that doesn't allow firearms and I'm still watching this guy
Ye same
hickok45 is a legend on you tube i have learned a ton from this guy
Same, I've learned a lot from him.
This is like bob Ross but with guns
The "happy accidents" in this case are a lot more painful.
"The Joy of Shooting"
omg exactly
+silencer1286 And there's a happy little ram just minding his own business. Doesn't have a care in the world. Nothing can get him down...except maybe for this...BLAM!
He works in guns like Ross worked in oils.
but we all have to say revolvers are way more stylish thin a glock
ohhhh yeah.
Am I the only one here who actually doesn't like glocks?
KDGCuber nope you’re not
@@erojerisiz1571 I didn't like the Glock 27 I owned and sold it. Just wasn't for me. Don't own any striker fired since I sold the Glock but I'm thinking of getting one. Don't think it will be a Glock.
@@erojerisiz1571 nah man! You ain't the only one!
I use Hickok 45 when I can't sleep and sound of the guns and his rambling on and on I find relaxing puts me to sleep everytime.Just like a father reading to his son lol
Sir, you truly are a great American.
@robbanzana, With a bolt gun you can fire a very hot pointed bullet (no danger of magazine detonation with bullets end to end), and the lever itself creates some problems with shooting prone.
@farmerboy245 , You can't beat the Marlin 1894 - great gun. The Cowboy models are more expensive, so you have to decide whether you want the octagonal barrel and such. I guess they make the .45 Colt in the non-cowboy models, not sure.
Lots of choices for the revolvers - depends on whether you wnat a Colt or Colt clone or something a little less authentic but built stronger, such as the Ruger. All are fun to shoot.
I did notice, though, that Kevin Costner did manage to get about 9 shots out of his Colt SAA when he was fanning it. He must have been using a model I'm just not familiar with! I'll have to dig through my Colt history books and find out more about that high-capacity model. :-)
The Red Dead Redemption-ess is exploding on my face.
If he were in the west then maybe.
Good time to tune back in.
This comment is relevant once again
i'll get you a towel
"I'm often asked which barrel length I prefer... All of 'em" Great quote there, Hickok. That made me chuckle.
I don't watch any other shooting channel, Hickok 45 blows em away. Excellent as always Hickock. From an English Cowboy!
Legends lever gun

@romas1995 , I didn't have a Colt Navy revolver; it's an Army Revolver, which was also used for cartridge conversion.
I wish I had a teacher as knowledgable and cool as Hickok45
@AnimaliaHolocaust, Check out our Giant Pumpkin Kill, (Giant Pumpkin Shoot?), and you'll see what happens. :-)
I wish you were my teacher! You're students are so lucky!
Wild Bill Hickok used a pair of cap n ball revolvers. In fact, up to the late 1800's cap n ball were very common and it was not till around 1880 before the classic Colt everyone sees in the movies became popular. The Remington 1858 type were popular because you could get spare cylinders and easily swap out a spent one with a freshly loaded one. You see this at the end of a Clint Eastwood movie (Pale Rider) where he removes a spent cylinder, and installs a freshly loaded one into his revolver and then shoots that guy at the end of the movie. I have SA's in .45 Colt, but I still love my 1858's and shoot them a lot.
At around 6:07 I was just about to comment on how this was the first time I saw Hickok shoot an unssuppressed gun without "his ears on", then he mentioned it himself.
@dangerzone177 , No, but after posting this 1,000 times, I'm blocking. Tired of seeing it.
I've actually shot a 38/357 cowboy gun out in west desert in Utah my target range buddy (former marine, Desert Storm participant, honorable discharge) inherited from his grandfather ..it was so tight i had to hold it with both hands to cock the hammer.. i didnt hit anything with it because the targets we set were too small for a gun i never shot before ..but it was just an honor to shoot a full drum of 357s from an original cowboy gun that had lived through the Wild West ..you know just to get the feel... felt like Lucky Luke for an instant there ..purty awesome
@vistaway3008 , Check out the Cartoon Channel!
He was all calm and cool with the single action armies and suddenly went full doomguy with the double barrell
Lol 😂
There is something so striking about those black powder cartridges, the smoke shooting out of the side of the revolver and the loud bang.
That double-barreled is badass!
The smoke from that stagecoach double barrel is EPIC
I think hickok is a great man Because he is a man like soldier
Wow, imagine you find out 12 years later that your ol' teacher became an absolute legend on TH-cam. Hickok is such a rad guy!
This guy would be the sickest teacher ever
I've seen a lot of gun videos in my time, but hickok's videos here are the best. He knows pretty much everything when it comes to firearms and is an excellent marksman.
Landon Ricketts will use that revolver 4:20 in RDR3
Great video, as someone from the UK I watched all the old john wayne films and still do and it's nice to see someone talking on a subject that he obviously knows a lot about and does it so well.
that metal outlaw target, has more sustain than a les Paul Gibson guitar, lol
Hickok45, you are the sole reason for my new found interest in SA revolvers. Thank you for all the awesome videos!
Congratulations! Single Actions will add immeasurable quality to your life. :-)
I wish he was my teacher in HS
jdziedzic11 is he a high school teacher?
Casey Turnbaugh he said in the video he was
this video right here is the reason why I subbed to hickok45...can't believe its almost three years now
picture the o.k corral after 30 seconds of gunfire im surprised that they saw what they were shooting at in the end
by far one of the best of your videos ive seen yet!!!! gotta love old old guns!!!!
fun fact: the number of clicks on a colt are 4 so they kinda spell C-O-L-T
These videos are really great for people who are not experts but know some basics about guns. Very nice mix of explainaion and demonstration, lots of videos seem to focus too much on one or the other to get a good impression of the guns.
lever gun... the machine gun back in the day... the colt army... the glock of the day and the double barrel was the standard shotgun/rifle...
Just so happens that I watched Open Range this past weekend. I had not seen it for about a year, I suppose. Great movie.
Im not even a gun person and I like your videos haha
originaLkomatoast sometimes guns even rival good sex :P
@originaLkomatoast That's what it used to be like: BOOM BOOM BOOM then you know what and you know what. Shucks, WTF happened?
glad you mentioned open range its's without doubt one of my favourite westerns.
You're a teacher?! You have the luckiest students ever. I'm a student and I watch you for fun!
Hello, I was born on Hickok's birthday 100 plus years later, and I've done extensive research on him as well as other characters of the old West, and I would just like to express my gratitude for all of the early firearms that you have demonstrated and showed and shot. I also appreciate your relaxed and humorous dialect that you display in your videos, great job Pard. Sincerely your newest admirer,. Prairie dog Joe.
Angel Eyes used Remington Army, Cal. .44 in The good , the bad and the ugly. Also Colt Navy 1851 when he shoots the guy in the head through the pillow.
thank you so much for making these videos....as someone who doesnt know much about operating firearms. your videos really simplify and expand upon things that i either didnt know, was confused about, or didnt think to ask. keep em comin...subscribed.
why cant you be my history teacher
Thanks for making all these informative videos, Hickok... best youtube channel out there for guns!
are those black powder 12 ga. loads as well?!
Sam Cupp
Smoke tells yes.
Thanks to mister Hickok for this small travel to Wild West.Legacy of great lawmen and outlaws still lives on .
"We don't have any gold, but plenty of lead!"
Missed this one...great job in bringing out the guns of the ol' west. Thanks for touching off some of the black powder rounds as I had forgotten how much smoke they produce...lol.
Red dead 2 ?
Hickok, I love you for pointing out the fact that they made the double barrel scatter gun scene in open range authentic, I was hopping you would point that out cause it's one of my favorite scenes from that movie which is also my favorite western movie. Gotta have the scatter gun, baby!
You Think? I believe that is called "pointing out the obvious." :-)
Sir I want to meet with you .
From where do you belong please reply🙏🙏
People should look at how much peace and love this wonderful man spreads while showing off firearms before they say guns are evil
I bet cowboys had the best text messages, wonder why we haven't seen any selfies from back then!
I love the fact that he brought up open range. One of my favorite western movies of all time. My favorite part is the gunfight at the end, mainly just because its nothing but the sounds of the guns going off and there's no background music going on
What class/classes do you teach?
Rajbir Dhadda
Probably around 45 - 70.
@GunDoc39402, I think it's Tombstone Leather.
If I make enough money for a trip to America, i'll sure swing by your place!
Hey Hickok45 I've been watchin yr videos for about a year now an I've really enjoyed every one from the ruger lcp to the model 29 an every thing in between. I've referred to your reviews a couple times already when I was out to purchase a new handgun. I like the way you just state the facts on a firearm an let the rest of us form our own opinions... Thanks again!
here doing RDR 2 research
your camera man must be the most patient man in the entire world..... props to him for waiting his turn on the trigger!
hey hickock i am interested in doing a cowboy match i have a henry 44-40 a ruger vaquero 357 mag. and a virginian dragoon 45 long colt and an over and under shotgun would they let me shoot in the match.
+Quinton Martin I think so.
+hickok45 thanks for the reply
+hickok45 can you do a review on the Rock Island Armory tactical 1911 45. I saw you did the 9mm but I would love to see the 45.
yeah
Winchester 30-30 was the first rifle I ever shot and hunted with after passing my hunters safety course (outside of a few shots on a 22lr). It is the rifle I got my first deer with, the first ever gun I bought with my own money, and now I still have a Marlin 30-30 lever-action and it is my hunting rifle. I coulda went 308, but i just go way back with the 30-30 lever. Also Hornady makes that ammo I'm not going to try and spell where they make the Spitzer type bullets with the polymer tip which is nice. Where I live in the mountains of PA, no realistic shot that I'm likely ever going to take deer hunting is going to be more than 200 yards tops, which those Hornady rounds are perfectly capable of. I threw a little 4-12 scope on it and a nice sling, and it maneuvers nice, lightweight, and effective (plus lever-action is fun and something you can get fast with after enough practice). To touch on something you mentioned in the video, I've always loaded rounds thru the loading gate by leaving the round 1/3 of the way out and use the next round to keep pushing them in, especially when the gun is new and might have a stiff loading gate. I'm good on playing finger-pinch peekaboo with every round I load haha. Good stuff though.
'American' life is good. :D
My favorite rifle... I have two 1873's (Taylors or Uberties) I got from Longhunter. I love em! Thanks for the great video...
im 13 and haVE A TOY double barrel shotgun
Congrats
man o man this is why hickock is my favorite youtuber.
Sir, Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Your students are indeed fortunate to have such a gifted and interesting teacher!
100% agree with you about the movie "Open Range" in the saloon!! I always found that scene to be very realistic and crank up my surround sound every time I see it!! :D I have a Baikal Bounty Hunter double barrel stagecoach shotgun and I now want black powder shells for it!
my grandfather have a winchester 1873 model,it was made around the mid 80 he said to me...but still i hope i'll get it one day it's so beautiful,one of my favourites
Open Range is a great movie. Great video too Hickok.
Excellent as always. Djquack12, when loading your 3030. There is a bullet catch just past the loading gate. If you bullet is is being pushed back behind the gate, the catch is broken or you not pushing it far enough past the loading gate.
Love your videos, live in Tx this is taught to us all in the 7th Grade. God bless Texas!! They did make a conversion for the old Confederate and Us Navy cap and ball pistols also for the folks that couldnt afford a new Colt or Remington. Cowboy wages in the 1870's were about 30 bucks a month, if you worked for a big outfit. I think the cost of a new Colt was about $35. That being said you had to really save to get one. Most folks, cowboys included carried hand me downs, if they had one at all. Most of those had to save up for holsters, while most carried them on their saddles or in their belts. Most cowboys were lucky to have a rifle. Hell some were lucky to have shoes. lol The movies make it look a lot cooler than it was! Again i do love your videos.
Awesome videos. I bet you're one hell of an instructor/teacher. Not only an amazing shot, as we all know, but very entertaining in the way you deliver your information.
Hickok has his Deadeye game on point.
Hickok45, I've watched, learned and enjoyed so many of your videos and it would be hard to say which would be my favorite but this one on Guns of the West surely makes the short list. Cowboy guns are just so cool. I got a real good chuckle when you were explaining your outfit and then proceeded to pull out your cell phone and media player. Oh life is good!
Mister Hickok. You are by far the best person on firearms on this TH-cam channel I have seen. You know how to explain your stuff you know how to handle your stuff and you are very very accurate on your shots. by the way do you know where I can find a 10 gauge shotgun or 10 gauge coach gun in Texas or Colorado. From Bryan Smith a huge western eastern fan
Just letting you know... ...first time I watch your videos and I subscribed; I really enjoyed them. Please keep making more!
My grandfather loves John wane westerns I watch them with him all the time my favorite John wane is the cowboys I love the huge revolver that the smallest kid has . Great vid
Your students are extremely fortunate to have you as their teacher...whether they know it or not.
Simply the best video I ever seen,very educational,well presented by an expert.Thank you sir

Amazing videos informative, funny and better than TV. Keep up the videos. Life is good.
Fascinating video, really enjoyed watching you explaining these weapons that we've all seen in the movies.
@stevevandien , I wouldn't.
There will be problems with human / gun freedoms with ANY administration if gun owners don't start putting their money where their mouths are. Anybody who is not a member of a gun rights organization is just "riding in the wheelbarrow," while the rest of us push it.
Keeping the Cowboy / westeren legend Alive.... Love all your videos...
@afghanmanyeah, Nope, Colt SAA in .45 Colt.
Another western where a shotgun was fired with a ton black powder smoke was towards the end of one of my favorites, The Sacketts, when Ben Johnson shoots Paul Koslo with a coach gun, using both barrels, and there was a ton of smoke from the gun
Thanks for another very informative video! I'm new to shooting and your video's have really helped me! Keep up the good work!
Indeed ! he's an outstanding shooter and he has such a great sense of humor! His videos are so fun to watch, and as a shooter i was able to learn a lot from watching him. Not to mention his awesome history lessons about the guns he's shooting. I kinda look up to him and respect him as a fatherly figure.
Clint's gun in that movie is actually an 1851 Navy, but it was also a cap and ball revolver. For the movies they use a replica cylinder designed to look like the original but which can take blank cartridges.
