I’ve always been curious, who dislikes his videos? He’s such a nice, gentle man. What could you dislike about his videos??
Some cool kids who play by their own rules; nobody else's; not even their own.
The GUNS!! Those evil, murderous GUNS!! Hickok is tricking us all with his calm, polite manner, but don't let yourself be fooled, GUNS ARE BAD! Just seeing guns makes me cry. I once saw a bullet on the street, so I turned around and took another route. I don't want to get shot. You know that 100 million people die everyday from evil guns... ok, that's enough, I can only pretend to be dumb for so long before my brain actually starts to ache. I don't know how the lefties do it everyday.
People who think dianne feinstein has the right idea.

Hickock45, I have been watching your videos since I was 14. I am now 20 and would like to thank you in nurturing my love for firearms. My favorite videos are your black powder ones, they are so neat! Once again, thank you.
Thanks. John and I are proud of the fact that we probably prevented you from doing too much homework all those years, right? :-)
Hickok45 is probably one of the best grandads ever.
I can't say it enough. The single action colt army is probably the most beautifully shaped revolver on the planet.
From someone in the U.K who could never truly own one, I am jealous.
The sound of cocking the hammer is also beautiful.
you can have blank shooters if you're 18+, you don't need a license to own or shoot them.
That sound alone would make a would-be burglar cr@p his khakis!
I know this is an old comment but this made me sad.
I agree, it is thee most beautiful.
It does not have to be the original Colt, cause I have a Freedom Arms Single Action .22 LR/Mag six inch and this thing is one of the most beautiful revolver I have seen and owned! I agree!
I think you need to use more Ballistol.
Love how you spent 20 minutes cleaning your revolver, being all calm and professional, then in the end you put it away in a sock, wasn't expecting that and got me in stitches.
See our video on "gun storage."

Since becoming a hickok45 subscriber for a long time; I've been school on a variety of firearms and their upkeep. Thank you hickok45 for the education.
Just like you, I enjoy cleaning my guns. I like how they feel, and how they smell after a good cleaning. It's always nice to review the basics of cleaning, and see how others do it. Thanks Hickok. It's always a pleasure, and I always learn something.
I hate needing to clean them, but I enjoy doing it for leisure. I guess I don't like doing it when I have to, because I always get done shooting at the end of the day past my normal sleep schedule. I don't want to stay up all that long cleaning most my guns.
Love the old Colt! I'm getting my Tomorrow! Yes, a brand new Colt SAA chambered in .45LC!
This is a nice throwback to one of the classic videos.
I love all the free knowledge...Keep is coming....
What are the odds that this video would show up on my feed! I just acquired a single action revolver from my dad, and boy does it need to be cleaned!
Hickock, I'm probably close to your age (I'm 64), and have been around guns, mostly single action revolvers and lever action rifles, my whole life, both shooting and cleaning them, and want to express my appreation for your videos, and, despite my experience and background, you've taught me a lot. S BIG THANK YOU goes out to you! Would love to meet you one day!
Excellence in everything thing you do Hickok45! I very much enjoy your channel!
Well done Hickok love the video you and John is a example of father and son bonding doing what you guys love most
When I was with the Irish Army there was five occasions in which we cleaned our weapons.
01. Daily cleaning.
02. Weekly cleaning.
03. Before firing.
04. After firing
05. When the weapon would be put into storage for a short or a long period of time.
When the weapon would be going into storage for short of long periods of time, for instance, when the weapon would be put into storage before being shipped overseas for service in places such as the Lebanon we would be required to clean the weapon as hickok45 has done here.
With rifles in particular, when the weapon was fully cleaned, we would run a Pull Through through the rifle barrel a number of times until it appeared to be completely free from any residue of oil or burnt gunpowder. At this point the bore of the rifle would appear to be absolutely spotlessly clean.
Next step: While using a funnel that fitted into the bore of the rifle, we would boil out the barrel with about one gallon of boiling water which would sweat the barrel.
This was done by placing the muzzle of the rifle into a plastic basin which would seal the muzzle of the rifle somewhat when the rifle muzzle was inverted and placed on the bottom of the said plastic basin while the barrel was being filled with the boiling water. At this point in time the boiling water started to cool off, after which we would lift the muzzle of the rifle from the bottom of the plastic basin to allow the hot water to run freely out the barrel of the rifle and into the plastic basin.
This step would be repeated until a whole gallon of boiling water would be ran through the rifle barrel, after which time the rifle would be left to cool off in its own time, possibly overnight.
When a clean Pull Through would be pulled through the rifle barrel the next morning, it would come out as black coal from the residue of burnt gunpowder, and or, any other residue such as oil that may have worked its way into the pores of the rifle barrel while firing took place, in other words, anything that would be lodged in the pores of the gunmetal of the rifle barrel would be sweated out of the rifle barrel by the boiling water from the evening before.
After several runs with a clean Pull Through to completely clean and dry the rifle barrel, we would then lightly oil the rifle barrel once more with a Pull Through soaked in oil and we would clean, dry and lightly oil any other parts of the rifle that made contact with the boiling water the evening before also. The weapon was then ready to go into storage after it was completely coated with a light film of proper gun oil.
That to us was the ultimate cleaning of any small arms in the Irish Army, be it the cleaning of a rifle or a hand held pistol, automatic or otherwise. This cleaning procedure helped to promote a long, reliable service life of any of the above mentioned weaponry.
Okay, in short, the Irish army has clean guns. Got it.
But I’m surprised to hear that Ireland actually has an army. More surprised that they would deploy anywhere. Not in the EU, not in NATO, neutral for something like 100 years.
Of course, if you mean the IRA, then it makes sense.
@@Frankie5Angels150 Ireland has been in the EU quite a while. They voted to leave some years ago, but the EU kept having the vote restaged until they got the result they liked! They send contingents out on peace keeping roles, usually with the UN.
How can anyone dislike your videos? You (and John) are so helpful and wholesome, I just love seeing a new video🙏🏽
I have been in love with the Colt SAA since I was 17. It is still a goal gun for me down the road, but after your review of the Uberti Cattleman, I finally purchased one! There is just something about the history that makes them stand out from all other pieces of art (yes, art). Big fan of your videos!
John you are a legend in your own time when it comes to firearms The education you give and those great stories to boot Keep them coming
John is his son. The old guy is Greg.
I love your videos brother, I just recently bought a Uberti 1873 cattlemen .357 and your videos have helped so much in how to handle, clean, and unload these single action firearms. God Bless you!
J enjoy watching your videos because of your relax but safe conscious style and of course your marksmanship
Good timing video. Have been looking at black powder revolvers. Thank you both for your excellent service to the community.
Bought a Colt SAA .45 new last year for the main purpose to passed down to my son one day. Awesome revolver and what a feel it has to hold and shoot. 👍🏻👍🏻
Living in the Northeast, I store all of my guns in those protective treated socks. They really help. Thanks for the video Hickok and John. Thanks for the "Trash talk" John. Be safe guys.
A single action is wonderful thing.
they feel sooooo good
This came at the right time I'll be 21 in March getting a Ruger Vaquero as my first handgun. Been watching for years thanks Hickok
Love these gun-care videos. Very useful for us at home!
Purchased my first revolver today, an uberti cattleman, and now I’m watching this after a range trip. Thank you for the tips!
Hickok45 thank you for your videos I just got my very first handgun and it is a revolver thank you for posting this amazing video and every single video you've ever posted and will post in the future because your videos are very helpful you are a gentleman your explanations are great you're very informative thank you for all of this amazing knowledge you have provided for not just myself but people just starting out or people that have been collecting for years thank you sir for all of your knowledge you have provided for gun collectors
Great video!
Can't wait for the full cleaning video!!!
Great video. I learned a lot about single action care and proper cleaning. Great choice of guns to demo. I love the Colt 1907. Thank you, sir, for your "brilliant insight".
i have one of these. it is the uberti remake, and i have been looking for a really good and reliable video on how to clean it. thanks for sharing!
Nothing like an easy paced instructional from the calm handler of fine firearms. It’s like, hey, git some coffee and let’s chat while I do this little chore. No hurry,no rush. Thanks sir.
I enjoy cleaning my firearms and I find it relaxing, very relaxing. I'll never understand those folks that don't clean their firearms.
I completely agree with you 🤘
I wish I felt the same, I like to shoot, but cleaning, not so much.
Like my chain saw..cleaned oiled sharpen..ready to rock when I need it to
Cleaning is a time to take inventory, take the peace around... for a time.
Agreed, throw on Enemy at the Gates and get to work
My dad placed a smith model 19 on one of the 1979s wood boxes. Next time he got it out of the safe the tannins or whatever the wood box was stained with rusted the side of the revolver. Sad day to pick up a nice pistol with a rusty barrel and cylinder. Wipe them down and use good gun socks. Makes a big difference in the long run.
Always enjoy hickok 45 videos. Smart man. Keep -up the good work. Thanks for sharing your smarts abut shootin and guns in general.
Am here from Belize to support your channel hickok45. Keep up the good work and season greetings.
I like these disassembly and cleaning videos. Learning.
Thanks for the great video! You seem like my favorite uncle👍. I started using Ballistol a couple years after seeing it on your video's. Its great stuff. Love the history of the product too. Thanks again!
Wow I went back and watched some of your old cleaning vids today what a coincidence
Hot damn, earliest I've gotten to a new vid!
Excellent video on these historic designs! Someday I plan to get into. Thank you!
Been watching you since the beginning, love the colt saa my papaw born in 1920s was end of single action era of people that actually carried them he talked of leaving for the war with a 5.5 inch marked wells fargo company with a set of ivory grips with a carved steer head with red ruby eyes he sold this gun to a officer of his for something like a month wages on the way over. He deeply regretted this move later in life but transitioned to double action magnum smith and wessons after returning and they becoming available again in the 50s before he died though I bought him a colt frontier scout 22 as he shot rimfires almost everyday it relite his saa fire. I wish I could show him the collection I have amassed since his passing. The fine carved leather, custom grips and custom loads to go with them and cleaning and pondering on their history are as fun as shooting them to me.
Good job hickok, I enjoy all your videos!! 👍🏻 thank you
Just got my first gun, Rough Rider single action. Was raised partially around them, but its my first and this was the first video I found. My family taught me on modern style, not sure if that's the term. So, from the bottom of my heart thank you for an informative video on taking care of pistols like it.
Hickok45 would love to see a full break drown and cleaning on a single action revolver, all your videos are informative and useful.
Just got my first Single Action (Heritage Rough Rider) last weekend...
Perfect timing!
Can you please do a detailed breakdown and cleaning of one of these down to the last screw? I love these guns and there are no videos showing that like there are for guns like the 1911.
great video always loved the old colt single action, would love to see it striped down for a deep clean
Watching from Iuka , Mississippi,love your vids
I have seen a couple of videos commenting that Ballistol does not preserve metal well. Hickok has pretty much convinced me of the opposite - that Ballistol cleans, lubricates, and preserves very well. It’s also good for cleaning wood, plastic, and bullet wounds. The only problem is that it has a powerful odor, bordering on stink. It leaves an obnoxious smell in my gun vault. Regardless of the eye-watering fumes, I know I’m going to go out and spend $20 and buy a batch of Ballistol, just because of Hickok45.
Craig Miller I love how it smells lol
Ballistol reminds me of Christmas because it has a sort of pine or tree scent. Love it
Great videos! Keep it up. Your videos are hands down the best!
Awesome. Done right and the commentary is great. Thanks for that.
Thanks for sharing John. I clean my firearms te same way as you, take time, use lots of ballisol and patches.
Glad you made this video!!! Just got a SAA Revolver and was curious as to how you properly clean one. Thanks again. :)
Thank you sir for walking us through cleaning a single action army!! I learned a lot today.
Wild Bill, love your videos, very informative, and a good shooter!
Those gun restoration videos are good too. Rusted solid, brought back new.
You actually got me into firearms, I'll probably have a collection of them when I turn the legal ago to own them. Anyways, thanks hickok!
I enjoy your videos. Great teaching! I appreciate the instruction!
This is very timely for me. Thanks!
I love videos like this, and to be honest with you if the video was 2 hrs long for a full strip down I'd still watch it all.
After all people who really care for their antique guns like you and myself want them to be around long after we shuffle off this planet. And I like yourself get just as much joy from cleaning and looking after them as I do from shooting them after all gun ownership weather it be an antique or a modern day gun is a privilege.
Just got a single 6 convertible and now I got the bug. Next on the list a vaquero. Would love to see a second video doing a detailed take down cleaning. Thanks for the video!
Love, love, love SA guns, thanks! I've enjoyed my Ruger New Bearcat for decades, and in the not-too-distant future I'd like to increase my SA collection...the Shopkeeper, Vaquero, and one or more of the great Uberti replica pieces are on the short list. Until then, I get a kick out of seeing you use these fun firearms in the meanwhile...much appreciation for helping me enjoy them vicariously.
Thanks for your instructional video. I have a 51 year old Ruger my daddy gave me 49 years ago.
It's funny how everyone does it differently, I think many of us were self taught. When we came home at night, my Dad would always make us clean our guns. (We used to shoot in the woods almost every day.), I don't remember him ever "teaching" us, you learned by watching. Things were better without al of today's distractions. Thanks for the video guys.
Glad to see you taking care of it, soooooo many people don’t!
Just bought my first SAA and I can't wait to get it on the range!
A total breakdown video would be really special! I saved up for a Colt and a USFA after catching the single action “bug” from your videos. : )
A Booming New Year Hickok & son from Philippines ! much Love ❤️💙💚💛🎉
Very instructive lesson , thanks Hickok.
Greetings from Spain.
Enjoyable video as always. Thanks, Hickok! I live in Colorado, where it's mercifully dry. The rag near the safe really isn't necessary out here, but I will employ that method in the future regardless. None of my guns are half as desirable as that SA, but I value them all highly and strive to maintain them effectively nonetheless. Not really a 'new shooter' anymore, but this gentleman still elucidates me regularly about nearly every aspect of gun culture. Might even have to take a break from CLP and try Ballistol...
Hickok45 that is the same way, that I clean my Dads Ruger New Vaquero 357 magnum Stainless Steel. Thanks for the knowledge and if l am cleaning my Dads gun the right way. Another great review
Thank you for the time spent too make this video.
Hickok45 you are great. Always watch your videos. My favourite firearm is Colt SAA. Thank you. You make a great job.
Back in the 60's, Hoppes was all we had.
Thanks for this video. I needed it. Its interesting.
that Colt sounds like a good one! Action sounds crisp. I picked one up at auction not too long ago (who DOESN'T want a Colt???). The action could use a bit of help, but I'm measuring the springs and I intend refresh them with as close to exact replacements as possible. I agree with your philosophy of 'touch then wipe'. I don't touch any of my firearms with my hands without wiping them down with a silicone rag. They always go back in the safe with just a smidge of slick on them... Great video, as usual. Keep em coming.
Very instructive. Love your tutorials .
Hey hickok I have seen every single cleaning video and has helped me so much for all the guns I have from revolver to AR to handgun, now the last thing I would like is if you could do a cleaning video for a 12 gauge! 😮 a maverick 88 or any Mossberg!!
I learn so much from ur explanations!
Thanks!!
This is so soothing...
Very good article covering the cleaning of a single action revolver. I use the exact same procedure for my Heritage Rough Rider. It's not a Colt but comes apart pretty much the same way.
What product do you both use?
@@fuckaoffa9454 I use Hoppes No. 9 to clean and then use Break Free CLP to lube and protect.
@@robertjohnson1605 thanks. That's what I use also. I wasnt able to get a clear shot on what he was using in his video. And was just wondering what it was.
Really appreciate your cleaning videos. Very educational.
I would really like to see a Colt single action completely disassembled and gone through, doesn't matter how long the video is. The longer it is the more we can learn about how they work and what to watch for when cleaning them ourselves.
Thanks Hickok! Appreciate your knowledge
Good video! I use Remoil, the same way. I rusted up a 1911 one time, never again!
Thank you, I own a Heritage Rough Rider, basically your gun. I only cleaned it dry with q tips, been looking for a video how to properly clean AND what to use. God bless you, Gun Grandpa
Thank you very much wild Bill you’re the best. I had to type it in three times before it would show
Great vid - love the classic guns 👍✌️💨😁🔫🔫😎✌️
Patiently waiting on a video about this gun! Also, you should make one about slicking up the action and what not.
Thank you so very much for all the good videos that you do happy holidays to you and your family keep up the good work God bless you and your family mr. Hancock sir. Can you watch the ballistics on the three phase 7 bedroom 158 grain jacketed soft point bullet tuna quarter inch barrel velocity
Would like to see black powder cleaning in the future, pistol and rifle. Thanks for all the great videos!
Thank You. I'll send this to my friends who are new to the shooting world.
Thank you for posting. Great video.
Listening to you talk about cleaning guns sounds just like my Dad telling me how to clean guns when I was a kid...and I'm 67!
As usual, a great vid. One additional tool I use extensively is a thin kabob stick, the kind you get 100 of for 79 cents at the supermarket. Put a patch over the sharp point and even the smallest slots and corners will come clean. You can use it naked to scrape out hardened crud from the tightest places, and since it's bamboo it's totally non-invasive to the finish and the metal.
I use that and a chopstick -
I use that and a chopstick -
Very nice! Great vid. Great advice! Ty.
I like the cleaning videos. Good stuff!
I have my girlfriend dab a little Hoppe's #9 behind each ear when we go out on the town.......
Not a good idea unless you want to lose her; too many gun nuts out there would find her irresistible! :-)
I spray my girlfriend with balistol and scrub her with a tooth brush if she starts acting up. Such a versitile product
