I'm from England and both me and my wife shoot old side by sides, we mostly game shoot and a traditional English side by side is preferred on most driven shoots, i had never heard the term Fudd before
That term is almost uniquely American, because there is such a diverse assortment of firearms available here that are not available to most other people in the world, and that level of diversity inherently breeds tribalism. Most commonly, a fudd will be someone who goes beyond not wanting something themselves to saying that no one should have it or being very dismissive, but sometimes people who just like older wood stock guns will get lumped in by the "tacti-cool" crowd, the AR/Glock master race meat heads. For example, some would consider me a Fudd because I only collect older military firearms that just happened to be all wood and steel, and it is just because I like them and not because I don't like anything else, especially if they saw that I chose a World War II German occupation Browning FN 1922 or a Spanish Astra 400 over a Glock or new Beretta.
I don't mind being a Fud ! I grew up hunting with my grandfather's ithica12 Guage double barrel hammer less. Love that gun. Today I mostly have recovers and lever guns.

FUDD is a Mindset, not a preference for specific types of firearms. I love (Insert wooden furniture) firearms and old style weapons (Especially the interwar ones). But I don't openly advocate for gun control because scary rifle with 30 round Clipazines BAD!!!
Gun Jesus, Ian Mac Callum had a cool one on yesterday. A 30 shot repeating flintlock from the Danish museum. Patented in 1659. There's nothing new under the sun, and the left can't claim high capacity mags are something new.
First gun I bought when I turned 18 in 1989 was a 12ga. Rossi Overland coach gun. Sold it to get a Mossberg 590 two years later. Still miss the Rossi, still have the 590.
Love my CZ 12ga. coach gun. Love watching people at the range shooting different types of firearms. A older gentleman saw me watching him a few months ago, and I got to talking to him about the gun he was shooting. I then left him in piece to continue his shooting.Wella few minutes later he came over and asked me if I would like to try the gun he was shooting.I looked at him and said ABSOLUTELY. It was an original 1800s 45-70 , Springfield Trapdoor Carbine.WOW ! I will always remember that. Not just the gun,but also the gentleman. A few weeks later I spotted a Uberti replica of the Winchester 1885 falling block single shot rifle in 45-70 and bought it on the spot. Variety truly is the spice of life .
@@StevenSmith-pt8rz That's really cool to have someone pass along love of a type of firearm, those old school single shots are all really cool in their own ways. The 1885 being a beautiful example, hope you're still loving it!
Wow talking about bringing back memories! I’m 68 yrs old around 1962 (6yrsold) in New Mexico dad had me tag along hunting quail or dove! I wore his bird vest a bit over sized for me. I held a box of 12 ga shells. He would put the birds in the vest I’d hold up the open box of shells. I felt very important. Dad had a side by side 12 ga Fox I was amazed that it had a fox drew (engraved) side where the bullets (shells) went in. So barrels so shiny the wood looked like brand new furniture! I got into bird hunting in my 30s and asked if I could have the Fox. Broke my heart when he said he traded it for an other weapon. 😢😢 But those days stand out in my memory when jarred like with this video! Thanks For Taking Me Back Down Memory Lane!
Love the coach guns! Side note: A lot of Fudds in Canada wish they’d have backed the other firearms owners because the other firearms were just a stepping stone.

I enjoy everything from black powder to modern arms, it's just interesting to know and appreciate arms of different times -- where we've come from, where we are, and where we're headed Life is good!
To me, a Fudd is the kind of person, typically a "self-declared hunter" who says "Ya don't need an EH ARR to hunt Bambi!" It has nothing to do with taste or preferences in what firearms one owns.
It's a meaningless term now. It means whatever any individual wants it to mean at a given time to describe a plethora of different people. I too remember when it was primarily used for anti-gunners that happen to be hunters/those that think the 2nd amendment is about hunting for some idiotic reason. Now, I've seen it used to describe those with classic tastes, those that are uneducated on certain firearms related topics (or when someone thinks what someone is saying is incorrect even if it isn't, and not necessarily relating to some classic "fuddlore" either), those that prefer safeties on their guns (primarily their carry gun), people that prefer iron sights, and a bunch of other peoples and preferences. Still can be a fun term to use.
I think a fudd is just generally someone who is set in old ways of thinking. My favorite brand of fudd is the guys who think the only weapon you should concealed carry is a .45 despite more or less every major modern military using 9mm pistols. Ironically, this is the same crowd that believes a .22 is super deadly because it bounces around in the body 😂
Thanks for the video. If I hadn't gotten sick and become disabled, I'd own a coach gun by now. If I were strongly into skeet and trap, I'd probably have an over-and-under shotgun. I always wanted a Ruger Red Label. The other nice thing about those guns for bird hunting is that the game warden never asks to see whether you have the magazine block installed because there's no magazine. My most Fudd-like quality is that there are a few things that I would never get for myself because just don't feel that I can master the learning curve at my age. I defend forever the right of others to have those items, but I just can't see myself mastering them enough that I'm willing to buy them. The example that comes to mind first is the binary trigger. If someone else wants a binary trigger, I think he/she has the right to buy that trigger, but I really can't see where I could ever adjust to shooting a binary trigger. I think I could adjust to a forced reset trigger, and I believe that people have the right to own forced reset triggers. Just because I would repeal the NFA doesn't mean that I'm in a position to buy anything that is regulated by the NFA. Some people see me as a Fudd for that reason. I'm too old and too sick to care.
There is room for all of us... branch out indeed. If you shoot modern only, shoot the older designs. If you shoot 20th century stalwarts only, step into the 21st century, plenty of fun for all! Hickock sets a perfect example of how to do that!!
The first shotgun I ever hunted with (probably 12-13 years old - Yikes! Over 50 years ago?) was a borrowed side-by-side 20 gauge. I wish I'd had the foresight to buy it from the guy in later years.
This man has been huge in the firearms community education, knowledge and firearms safety he is the perfect example in our beloved second ammendment community. I've always loved Hickock45
I was born in 1998 and I love side by sides. Long barrels, short barrels, internal hammers, external hammers, even double rifles. Nothing else looks or feels as classy and cool to me.
This video kind of underscores why I like Hickok45 as a gun channel, always have and always will. He not only shoots a wide variety of guns and has a wide variety of tastes, he doesn't punch down on the fun aspect as much as some guntubers with more specific taste. There is definitely value to talking about disadvantages, advantages and problems with certain guns, but it's really nice to have that channel to come back to where Hickok and John just have fun with a wide variety of firearms in a laid back way. The fun aspect for me when it comes to enjoying guns is high, even if my own tastes are more old school and Fudd-y. I may never own an AR because I'm not a huge fan, but will never tell someone not to get one if they're passionate about em. Great video!
As a 20 yr old i think "fudd" guns are awesome. The newest coolest rifle of tomorrow is nice, but i think the history and stories of older guns hold more value, not to mention how some gun smiths back in the old days came up up with some very unique and creative guns that deserve to be admired.
Thanks for the memories. I've still got my grandpa's old 10 ga side by side. The click of external hammers still reminds me of him as he taught me firearm safety!
Got to say, love my spanish coach gun , reliable and versatile.can understand why it's still one of the most popular firearmes here in Southern Europe , love your channel Hickok
Have a million Fudds in Canada who think that gun control should only stop at traditional hunters so I know the type well. Even worse here because Canadians think we're so advanced beyond Americans not allowing our citizens self defense. (now we're told to keep our car keys by the door so intruders can just take your wheels and go) Meanwhile officials protected with guns only available to the military.
I belonged to a sportsman’s club in the Chicago suburbs that was mainly shotgun use and happened to have a rifle pistol range. I got pushback for bringing an ar 9 to the range. The club was filled with fudd’s and the club itself is not participative in responding to attacks on the 2nd amendment. I did end up canceling my membership.
HEY Hickok45, YES YOU ARE & SO AM I 🤣 Grabbed a STOEGER Coach in Cody, WY last year driving cross country,,, GOD BLESS AMERICA🤩🇺🇸 “keep up the GREAT VID’s” Stay Safe & Well Y’ALL 👍
A couple of years ago I acquired a Winchester model 24 SXS. It made in the early 1950's. It was made to be a moderately priced gun for working people. It's not fancy. I own a total of 5 shotguns, that old Winchester has become my favorite.
Get the pietta 1878 deluxe 20” 12 gauge double barrel made in italy I just got it and its amazing one of my favorite firearms I believe its the best 12 gauge coach gun ever made
For me, it’s more of the ideology that the older guns are the only ones that are any good and think all of the newer tactical guns are all crap or think they should only be for law enforcement and military. I do love all style guns. From the latest to the greatest to the older style guns that my dad and granddads had.
Talked to an old timer at a gun shop and was surprised to find out he hunted with an AR15 in .223. I asked why he switched to the AR game and he said " aint new stuff supposed to be good? I like to use new good stuff."
I usually get told the opposite. They think my Enfield 303 is crap and I should just buy an AR. I have zero interest in modern firearms. I prefer the classics. Soi, they then call me a Fudd. But, whatever. People online are all keyboard warriors.
I’m just fine with the both. Sure, I prefer those older firearms, they gotta be one of many pinnacles of human innovation. Germans invented the first assault rifle, but isnt it cool to see how far those intermediate rounds came as well?
The cognitive dissonance some civilians have about being scared of "black rifles" while at the same time not realizing they are made for the _dumbest_ grunts and trainees in the military never ceases to amaze me.
2:10 "We're called lots of things, right? We're all something, RACIST or something..." ELMER FUDD just said "DON'T PUT THAT ON ME! I JUST HATE WABBITS!"
I got a coach gun in 12, I keep it loaded with bean bag rounds because I got Javelina running around eating all my plants. They just shrug it off. I may have just created a new sport. Bean bagging Javelina in AZ.
I always think of my Coach Gun as "resting and relaxed" until I need it! No magazines, no compressed springs, etc. They're also great to shoot with the mini shot shells and slugs when your aging shoulders and elbows start to ache! My Coach Gun "rests" with three of each on a sleeve on the stock.
In 1973, I bought a Rossi double, 20 inch barrels, with hammers. Love it. Still have it. They can call me a fuddy-duddy, 'til the cows come home. A few years later, I bought another Rossi, with 20 inch barrels, with hammers. I now have one in 20 gauge magnum, and one in 12 gauge magnum. Love those coach guns. Defiantly an investment in fun!!!
First gun I shot was a single shot crack open 20 gauge. My Dad had a side by side 12 gauge. Both had hammers. They were made in the late '50s. I still have them, and shoot them, with my son. Quite a different shooting experience than my KSG.
I have 20 gauge that looks exactly like that one! I also have a 9 shot .22 revolver. Love them both, and if that makes me Fudd, so be it. BUT, I also have 3 - 9mm pistols (Springfield and S&W) and an AR15 (Daniel Defense).
As an all-around gun enthusiast, I've caught flak from both sides of the aisle. Got a Fudd buddy who doesn't see the point of .223 or any pistol that doesn't have a safety, and I've got a "tactical" Army vet friend who doesn't see the point of having any kind of revolver or black powder guns in general. It's all good. Put anything that goes "pew" in my hand, and it will be a fun day!
I have my practical guns: AR, double stack striker-fired 9mm, etc. But as soon as my practical needs were covered, I switched to getting the guns I really love: Revolvers, blackpowder, bolt actions, etc. I personally have no great love or interest in a lot of the more modern stuff. I don't dispute their practicality, which is why I own them, but I would never collect them.
I carried a 12 gauge side by side for decades! Every single time I had to go up in the high country to mend fences or look for lost cattle or just to go brookie fishing! Had it on a light rope on a large screw in eye swivel (hardware store for hanging plants!) screwed into the birds head, slung around my shoulder and down under my arm where I could reach it under almost any circumstances. Made the stock out of a piece of dried Iron wood shaped into a birds head pistol grip. The breakdown is drilled and pinned and welded so it won't break APART anymore and the barrels are cut off 1/4" past the ends of the Magnum 0 buckshot in the right barrel and the slug in the left.... I carried that thing for almost 10 years and never fired it once.... Until I fired both barrels at the same time once and it saved my life....
Proud member of the Fudd club!! Revolvers, lever actions, pump and break action shotguns my forte! Can't beat the reliability either. Take that all you Bugs Bunny's out there! 🐇 🐰
You ought to watch Daniel Craig in one of the James Bond movies reload his side by side. He'd shoot then get behind a barrier and his reloading of it was so smooth and cool.
To @Hickok45. My name is armaan. I’m 22 years old and I’m in Brampton Ontario Canada. I wanna say I like your videos. Firearms and many more of your videos. They are amazing. Great and lots of fun. I hope you have a good one. And keep going for the next TH-cam video. May God bless you my friend. Sincerely. Armaan😊🥰❤️💙🇨🇦
Only if it has outside hammers Mister H !! Lol! Let my old Stevens hammer double go 50 yrs. Back, still miss it. Know of a young man who started skeet with an old double! Enjoy your Coach gun!! Blsgs, gg🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠☝️☝️☝️
I have a double barrel 12ga that I inherited from my stepdad. He used it for dove hunting way back in the day. Many times when I’ve brought it out to shoot clays a few of my buddies have snickered into there hands until I let them shoot it, then it was all “hey if you ever decide to get rid of that let me know.”
Well I own only 3 semiauto pistols all 45 ACP and enjoy them when I got them to function correctly all the time. Rest is my revolvers and lever rifles. I do have a 20 ga. Coach gun!
I mainly build and shoot flintlocks. I prefer the classic look of blued steel and wood. Doesn't make me, or anyone else who prefers wood and steel, a Fudd. I have polymer frame pistols and have owned black aluminum, steel and polymer rifles over the years. I just prefer the feel, look and beauty of a nice piece of wood and blued or browned steel. That is a handsome double you have there. Oh, and, with the exception of the 1911, I prefer revolvers to most semi autos although I have one polymer framed semi auto. I've always associated "Fudd" with attitude more than what kind of firearms he or she prefers to shoot and own.
I saw your demonstration of the Winchester Model 1873 44/40 caliber. I remember while in West Germany during the early 1970's, I had a few German citizens walk up to me with the offer of money to buy them a Winchester Model 1894 30/30 caliber. They sold in the NCO Club catalog for $100 to Military Veteran's of active duty based in West Germany. The Winchester Level Action Rifle is world renowned. I didn't take them up on their offers. I don't know those people...

@@Zac-ft7id
You're right, it's not a word. I think they said fuddest. We all know what that means.

1. 'All you need is...."
2. "All anyone needs is..."
3. "You don't need.."
4. "No one needs..."
5. "No one should have..."
6. “It should have never existed…”

Just because I would repeal the NFA doesn't mean that I'm in a position to buy anything that is regulated by the NFA. Some people see me as a Fudd for that reason. I'm too old and too sick to care.
There is room for all of us... branch out indeed. If you shoot modern only, shoot the older designs. If you shoot 20th century stalwarts only, step into the 21st century, plenty of fun for all! Hickock sets a perfect example of how to do that!!
The first shotgun I ever hunted with (probably 12-13 years old - Yikes! Over 50 years ago?) was a borrowed side-by-side 20 gauge. I wish I'd had the foresight to buy it from the guy in later years.
Beautiful gun! Much more attractive than my 870 tactical.
870 king. Ugly is as ugly does. 870 best to clean/ maintain. More modular.
No. It just makes you more cool! SXS are fabulous. Love them! They are tremendously useful. Thanks for the video.
I see you’re still popping. Hello from Japan and keep up the awesome content. 😃
This man has been huge in the firearms community education, knowledge and firearms safety he is the perfect example in our beloved second ammendment community. I've always loved Hickock45
I was born in 1998 and I love side by sides. Long barrels, short barrels, internal hammers, external hammers, even double rifles. Nothing else looks or feels as classy and cool to me.
This is a great video. We all really enjoy Hickok content!! Thank you
This video kind of underscores why I like Hickok45 as a gun channel, always have and always will. He not only shoots a wide variety of guns and has a wide variety of tastes, he doesn't punch down on the fun aspect as much as some guntubers with more specific taste. There is definitely value to talking about disadvantages, advantages and problems with certain guns, but it's really nice to have that channel to come back to where Hickok and John just have fun with a wide variety of firearms in a laid back way. The fun aspect for me when it comes to enjoying guns is high, even if my own tastes are more old school and Fudd-y. I may never own an AR because I'm not a huge fan, but will never tell someone not to get one if they're passionate about em. Great video!
Thanks Hickory your the best !
Love it,!!
Excellent!
As a 20 yr old i think "fudd" guns are awesome. The newest coolest rifle of tomorrow is nice, but i think the history and stories of older guns hold more value, not to mention how some gun smiths back in the old days came up up with some very unique and creative guns that deserve to be admired.
Thanks for the memories. I've still got my grandpa's old 10 ga side by side. The click of external hammers still reminds me of him as he taught me firearm safety!
Got to say, love my spanish coach gun , reliable and versatile.can understand why it's still one of the most popular firearmes here in Southern Europe , love your channel Hickok
You've been apart of my TH-cam experience for well over a decade. Thanks for sticking around gun grandpa. We like having you around.
Have a million Fudds in Canada who think that gun control should only stop at traditional hunters so I know the type well. Even worse here because Canadians think we're so advanced beyond Americans not allowing our citizens self defense. (now we're told to keep our car keys by the door so intruders can just take your wheels and go)
Meanwhile officials protected with guns only available to the military.
I belonged to a sportsman’s club in the Chicago suburbs that was mainly shotgun use and happened to have a rifle pistol range. I got pushback for bringing an ar 9 to the range. The club was filled with fudd’s and the club itself is not participative in responding to attacks on the 2nd amendment. I did end up canceling my membership.
I get CALLED that for my videos at SHOOTFIRE with ASHLEY
I am a BIG FAN of your work. Your videos are my TRAINING GUIDE!!!
Aaaaand yep, its everywhere 😂😂😂
HEY Hickok45, YES YOU ARE & SO AM I 🤣
Grabbed a STOEGER Coach in Cody, WY last year driving cross country,,, GOD BLESS AMERICA🤩🇺🇸 “keep up the GREAT VID’s” Stay Safe & Well Y’ALL 👍
Good advice. Do what makes you happy!
A couple of years ago I acquired a Winchester model 24 SXS. It made in the early 1950's. It was made to be a moderately priced gun for working people. It's not fancy. I own a total of 5 shotguns, that old Winchester has become my favorite.
gorgeous gun!
Always wanted a double barrel "Coach Gun" with rabbit ear hammers. I just like the look of them. Wish somebody made one today.
Your wish is my command. Google CZ hammer coach.
Get the pietta 1878 deluxe 20” 12 gauge double barrel made in italy I just got it and its amazing one of my favorite firearms I believe its the best 12 gauge coach gun ever made
I got it for $900 btw Its expensive but its the best and nicest looking coach gun and it has external hammers just like what you are looking for
Great job Dad & Son.
For me, it’s more of the ideology that the older guns are the only ones that are any good and think all of the newer tactical guns are all crap or think they should only be for law enforcement and military. I do love all style guns. From the latest to the greatest to the older style guns that my dad and granddads had.
Talked to an old timer at a gun shop and was surprised to find out he hunted with an AR15 in .223. I asked why he switched to the AR game and he said " aint new stuff supposed to be good? I like to use new good stuff."
I usually get told the opposite. They think my Enfield 303 is crap and I should just buy an AR. I have zero interest in modern firearms. I prefer the classics. Soi, they then call me a Fudd. But, whatever. People online are all keyboard warriors.
I’m just fine with the both. Sure, I prefer those older firearms, they gotta be one of many pinnacles of human innovation. Germans invented the first assault rifle, but isnt it cool to see how far those intermediate rounds came as well?
The cognitive dissonance some civilians have about being scared of "black rifles" while at the same time not realizing they are made for the _dumbest_ grunts and trainees in the military never ceases to amaze me.
Being called a Fudd is better than being called a Fuddy Duddy. 😂
Man i haven't seen your vids for like 5 years now. I used to watch your vids since. It brings memory back😊😊
Wow, a five-year prison sentence? I was thinking inmates now had Internet access, but I guess not. :-)
2:10 "We're called lots of things, right? We're all something, RACIST or something..." ELMER FUDD just said "DON'T PUT THAT ON ME! I JUST HATE WABBITS!"
I got a coach gun in 12, I keep it loaded with bean bag rounds because I got Javelina running around eating all my plants. They just shrug it off. I may have just created a new sport. Bean bagging Javelina in AZ.
Side by side double barrel shotguns work. Took a nice turkey 🦃 this year with mine. Simple to clean, less moving parts and dependable.
I always think of my Coach Gun as "resting and relaxed" until I need it! No magazines, no compressed springs, etc. They're also great to shoot with the mini shot shells and slugs when your aging shoulders and elbows start to ache! My Coach Gun "rests" with three of each on a sleeve on the stock.
In 1973, I bought a Rossi double, 20 inch barrels, with hammers. Love it. Still have it. They can call me a fuddy-duddy, 'til the cows come home. A few years later, I bought another Rossi, with 20 inch barrels, with hammers. I now have one in 20 gauge magnum, and one in 12 gauge magnum. Love those coach guns. Defiantly an investment in fun!!!
Love my Stoeger coach, nice and accurate, and fun :)
It has been my expetience that those who like to call others Fudd, are themselves, true Fudds.
We love you bro keep up the gun talk..
Thanks for the definition - when I first heard the term not all that long ago I assumed it referred to a person we used to call an old fuddy-duddy!
Hello Hickok45.
Love the, 🤠Coach Shotgun 💥💥🫶🏼
First gun I shot was a single shot crack open 20 gauge. My Dad had a side by side 12 gauge. Both had hammers. They were made in the late '50s.
I still have them, and shoot them, with my son.
Quite a different shooting experience than my KSG.
I have 20 gauge that looks exactly like that one! I also have a 9 shot .22 revolver. Love them both, and if that makes me Fudd, so be it. BUT, I also have 3 - 9mm pistols (Springfield and S&W) and an AR15 (Daniel Defense).
thats why i liked hickok 45 videos..i enjoy watching..about guns info...
As an all-around gun enthusiast, I've caught flak from both sides of the aisle. Got a Fudd buddy who doesn't see the point of .223 or any pistol that doesn't have a safety, and I've got a "tactical" Army vet friend who doesn't see the point of having any kind of revolver or black powder guns in general. It's all good. Put anything that goes "pew" in my hand, and it will be a fun day!
sir you are definitely not a fudd lol lots love from middel TN!!!!!
I have my practical guns: AR, double stack striker-fired 9mm, etc.
But as soon as my practical needs were covered, I switched to getting the guns I really love: Revolvers, blackpowder, bolt actions, etc.
I personally have no great love or interest in a lot of the more modern stuff. I don't dispute their practicality, which is why I own them, but I would never collect them.
Love It👍👍
Class and Elagence for any man and woman.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing!
I carried a 12 gauge side by side for decades! Every single time I had to go up in the high country to mend fences or look for lost cattle or just to go brookie fishing! Had it on a light rope on a large screw in eye swivel (hardware store for hanging plants!) screwed into the birds head, slung around my shoulder and down under my arm where I could reach it under almost any circumstances. Made the stock out of a piece of dried Iron wood shaped into a birds head pistol grip. The breakdown is drilled and pinned and welded so it won't break APART anymore and the barrels are cut off 1/4" past the ends of the Magnum 0 buckshot in the right barrel and the slug in the left.... I carried that thing for almost 10 years and never fired it once.... Until I fired both barrels at the same time once and it saved my life....
Be vewwy vewwy quiet!! We're hunting *WATERMEWWONS!!!* Thanks, Hickok45!
I would definitely own one. I have 4 shotguns and none double barrel. You did a great description of a Fudd in the beginning
Back in the 70s we had a business and sometimes worked into the wee hours. We kept a Little Brute single shot sawed off 12ga just in case.
I have an appreciation for all machines especially the ones that go bang.
I passed up an original coach gun because I had not done my research.
Love it! Reminds me of old westerns!
hickok45, Pure Legend. Much Respect Sir....
the intro to this video is timeless Hickok
I swear, this shotty is the exact one they used when they were designing Elmer's shotty.
Proud member of the Fudd club!! Revolvers, lever actions, pump and break action shotguns my forte! Can't beat the reliability either. Take that all you Bugs Bunny's out there! 🐇 🐰
🔥🔥🔥I doubt Elmer had the same hatred of 1 weeters 🤣
I had to say it out loud but I got it. Strange children. :)
@@woodsinme 🤣
You ought to watch Daniel Craig in one of the James Bond movies reload his side by side. He'd shoot then get behind a barrier and his reloading of it was so smooth and cool.
Doc Holiday used a double barrel at OK Corral. A favorite of many old west sheriffs.
No sir you will always remain a Legend.
5:42 what I say when my friend lost his wedding ring 😂
To @Hickok45. My name is armaan. I’m 22 years old and I’m in Brampton Ontario Canada. I wanna say I like your videos. Firearms and many more of your videos. They are amazing. Great and lots of fun. I hope you have a good one. And keep going for the next TH-cam video. May God bless you my friend. Sincerely. Armaan😊🥰❤️💙🇨🇦
If owning a stagecoach shotgun makes you a Fudd, then my name is Elmer J. Fudd!
Only if it has outside hammers Mister H !! Lol! Let my old Stevens hammer double go 50 yrs. Back, still miss it. Know of a young man who started skeet with an old double! Enjoy your Coach gun!! Blsgs, gg🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠☝️☝️☝️
Old cars, old watches, old radios, old guns, sometimes it’s just the fact that it’s an awesome and fascinating piece of machinery
Your fruits killing skills are amazing!
I have a double barrel 12ga that I inherited from my stepdad. He used it for dove hunting way back in the day. Many times when I’ve brought it out to shoot clays a few of my buddies have snickered into there hands until I let them shoot it, then it was all “hey if you ever decide to get rid of that let me know.”
Well I own only 3 semiauto pistols all 45 ACP and enjoy them when I got them to function correctly all the time. Rest is my revolvers and lever rifles. I do have a 20 ga. Coach gun!
There is something cathartic about ejecting and reloading shells manually in a break action shotgun. Same goes for bolt actions.
It could make you Doc Holliday. He carried one at the OK Corral
That's a nice-looking coach gun. I like the checkering.
What's up doc
I mainly build and shoot flintlocks. I prefer the classic look of blued steel and wood. Doesn't make me, or anyone else who prefers wood and steel, a Fudd. I have polymer frame pistols and have owned black aluminum, steel and polymer rifles over the years. I just prefer the feel, look and beauty of a nice piece of wood and blued or browned steel. That is a handsome double you have there. Oh, and, with the exception of the 1911, I prefer revolvers to most semi autos although I have one polymer framed semi auto. I've always associated "Fudd" with attitude more than what kind of firearms he or she prefers to shoot and own.
I saw your demonstration of the Winchester Model 1873 44/40 caliber. I remember while in West Germany during the early 1970's, I had a few German citizens walk up to me with the offer of money to buy them a Winchester Model 1894 30/30 caliber. They sold in the NCO Club catalog for $100 to Military Veteran's of active duty based in West Germany. The Winchester Level Action Rifle is world renowned. I didn't take them up on their offers. I don't know those people...
A classic firearm that is a must for the zombie apocalypse.
Hell yeah! Rock on brother!
Never thought I'd hear you say mall ninja, haha. I like it.
