not to mention the different caliber of 22’s for self defense. But 22 ain’t really ideal ya know for self defense but for trapping and fun I say have at it
I know in todays world it would cause an apoplectic fit in a lot of people but I carried one of these (4 5/8”) on my hip playing in the woods (family farm mid 1960s) at 8 years old. Mainly for snakes and just casual plinking. Developed my love of firearms and the outdoors which continues till today. Still try to go to the range once a week.
@@punishedwhispers1218 I know of some 10 year olds that carry 22 rugers with snake shot while working on the farms. It all depends where you grow up and how you grow up. And I'm not talking about the 10 year olds in the cities carrying 9 mm glocks.
About 6 years ago my wife bought me a 22 peacemaker never shot in the box, she also got me a Elmer Keith special edition s&w 29-3 I believe with a 4 inch barrel definitely one of the nicest Christmas presents I ever had .
Back in the late 60s... I was taking piano lessons, and if I did a good job at my lesson, I was rewarded by my teacher allowing me to go out in the back yard with her husband, (Mr. Rexford, RIP) and shoot with him, using one of these!!! I would save up my allowance and buy a package of 22 short at the local hardware store, (who didn't require government paperwork!!!) and had them ready for after my sessions. AWESOME memories!!!
Yep I went online and bought both models the Colt Frontier Scout with the wood grain box as you call it and mine is in mint condition and was made in 1967 and I also bought one of the Colt Peacemaker as well I think was made in 1972 and both have the magnum cylinders as well with the original box also !!! I don't know why ole Hickok45 didn't want a copy of the first one's that Colt made just because it was an alloy frame I guess but still a Colt and a single action just like the big boys in .45 SAA caliber !!!
I had a Frontier Scout in the early 60's it came in a kit with a belt and holster my dad bought it for me when I was about 10 from Bert Wilkies gun shop in Brunswick Ohio.
Beautiful old Colts PM’s you have there Hickok! 😍 I’m a huge fan of 22 cal firearms! I have upwards of 15 .22 rifles in my collection and I am slowly adding .22 handguns as well. My 6 inch S&W model 617 is one of my favorites. Great video as always!!! 👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻👉🏻💥
I always told people, would you stand or charge someone getting shot at with a .22lr...yes there are situations that can make a person feel it's a bb, but that just means you need to be a better shot.
@@bassnazi4713 I agree. I’m not a huge fan of 22 for self defense, but the fact is, it can be very deadly. My grandfather was actually robbed and shot by someone with a .22 while he was at work at a service station back in 1971. He was shot once in the stomach and wasn’t found until the next morning.
Love ya hickock, i can't afford to shoot as much as I'd like so it's fun for me to watch you plink on your sweet range. I think i speak for everyone when I say that we all appreciate what you do.
@@TheRealRusDaddy I once bought a few boxes of 22wmr by mistake, but it turned out alright because now I've got two Rough Riders and a CMR-30, now I can't get enough and wish I could find more!
@@TheSquizzlet If you were from TN, I'd gladly trade you some so you could shoot more. Wal-Mart used to have the CCI cartons of Maxi-Mags for cheap, so I got some of those. One local shop also had the Hornady 30 grain ballistic tips in the big, flat 200 round boxes. I haven't bought any .22 Mag in quite awhile.
@@pewpewTN Shame, I have friends down in TN as well, but I'm multiple states away so that doesn't do me much good. I appreciate the sentiment though. On the plus side, 22lr is still incredibly cheap.
My first pistol. I bought it when I was 17 from a gun store in Berkeley. They were glad to sell it because it was a factory-installed 22 mag. Before they built it standard.
Had one that also came with the Magnum cylinder that I purchased in early '70s. loved shooting that little revolver. All I have of it now is the end flap of the box with the serial # and the mag cylinder since it was stolen in a home break-in around the early '80s.
My grandfather left me a bleued buntline scout many years ago. I learned to shoot on that gun, shoot it every weekend I love that gun. It's that gun that gave me a love for colt revolvers, especially the SAA. It's just the perfect revolver to learn to shoot on.
These were discontinued in 1976, along with the 22Woodsman series, and marked the downward spiral from which Colt never recovered. I own a pair of these as well as nickel Scouts , and New Frontiers. They will never be sold. Some of the greatest little 22 Single Actions ever made, sadly never to be made again
I've had my Walther P22 for about 20 years now, and that little beast is by far one of the most fun firearms I own. Dirt cheap ammo, no recoil, just a hoot to take out and plink, and if you need a rabbit for eatin', it'll do the job. Hadn't really thought about a .22 revolver, but after watching this, I think I might need to go and find myself one, that Colt looks way too much fun.
Yes the Ruger is a great option for those wanting to spend less $ than on a Colt, but for those wanting to spend MUCH less $...go with the Heritage Rough Rider. I got mine, with both the .22LR and .22Mag for less than $150. I think it's actually a pretty well made gun. Thanks for a video featuring .22 ammo.

I still love the western movies and have about all my favorites. That peacemaker looks like gangs and gangs of fun. Single actions are such a relaxing way to enjoy shooting.
I have a Peacemaker .22 - 6" bbl. Bought it new in 1976, next year I looked for a New Frontier .22. They weren't to be found. I Love mine, carried it every time I stepped off the Concrete. Mine shoots dead on at 50ft with the .22mag.
I picked up a COLT New Frontier. 22lr a few months ago . Beautiful little gun , it looked like new (obviously not) and my new favorite for walking around the backwoods.
I have a 1971 new frontier and love it. Has the 4 3/4 inch barrel I believe lost the magnum cylinder yrs ago and wish I had one, haven’t been able to find one
This is the first gun that I ever owned. I have carried this so many times and places that I can't remember. I bought it in 1962. My brother in law has a good selection of weapons and he wants mine. He has looked for one but not only can't find one but he wants mine because he knows how I have taken care of it. I paid 49.50 and I saw it in a magazine that says it's probably worth around 500 now. Yeah mine has always shot a bit high.
Although most people say, 22mag is a good caliber. Very cheap and with an excellent speed, specially for carbines. I'm from Brazil and 22 is very used here because these reasons.
Had one for a few years. Mine was the buntline 7 1/2”, only had the magnum cylinder. Was stolen out of my RV 23 years ago. Filed a police report, still waiting on the letter or call saying it’s been recovered. . . . . I miss it a lot.
Your hands are like mine, but more accurate i guess, LOL. Love your expert knowledge, never find your vlogs boring. Got a hearing loss problem from on the firing range, when there was no such thing as ear muffs. Bob. Veteran, New Zealand.
Enjoyed watching a simple pleasure! Not a Colt but I have the 12 shot Uberti Cattleman and I set up can targets across my creek and sit on other side and plink away!
The first gun I ever bought myself was the .22 New Frontier, 7 1/2, in 1972. I could hit every squirrel I shot at with my Remington rifle, so I bought the Colt, which I first saw on the cover of Guns and Ammo. So beautiful! Not a good trigger, but so accurate. I don't think I ever missed. A few years ago, when the neighbors' chicken feed brought rats into the yard, my gun-hating wife said, "I don't care what you have to do; get rid of the rats." And I had just the thing. Goodness, but I love this old Colt!
I know that the early peacemaker 22 had the 4 3/4 which looked like the 5 1/2 in its larger brother.But most of them with the shorter barrel was 4 3/8 which is even with the ejector I got one when I was 12 years old for Christmas and it is 4 3/8. Then hear later I found and bought a 6 inch model they are lots of fun to shoot
When I was a youngster my dads friend was a conductor on the Milwaukee rd.railroad and found one for me at a gun store in Lacrosse WI. For 120.00 I traded the gun for another with a buddy of mine. My father yelled at me said I made a bad deal and I did. It’s bothered me ever since. My father has long since passed and I’m 62.
I've got the ruger super single six. I do the "cowboy " load even at the range and even though mine has the transfer bar. Just out of respect for Elmer Keith and all of the old timers.
A few years ago I had a Colt SAA that had been converted to .22lr, a decent job of it. I can't afford a Colt .22 but Uberti makes several versions that are quite good. I buy almost exclusively on the used market, unfortunately I've not seen any of these revolvers at my local shops. The Ubertis come in 6 and 10 round models, possibly in 12 round versions. On principle I favor the 6 round versions but if one of the others crossed my path I'd be tempted. But fixed sight only, a man has to draw the line somewhere. I do prefer the all steel construction of the Ubertis, though the 7/8 scale of the Colts make some sense.
I’ve got a couple of these. One blue one nickel. I have to say I love these and my collection of Ruger single six’s as well. A lawn chair and some tin cans , tub of ammo and you’ve got yourself one srperiously cool afternoon of great memories.
Great video! I'll bet John glued that bowling pin down! Lol! How did you know I was having a possum and anchovy pizza? I'm a Ruger guy, got a Single Six and a Blackhawk in 45 Colt.
You missed the story of the Great Western, mfg. in California in the fifties . picking up on the slack and providing Hollywood with replicas for the movies. I had a Great Western in .45 LC that had a floating firing pin, and had it modified to get rid of that. Replacing the hammer to the proper one. Had Faux stag grips. Looked nice. But I do still have the Colt Frontier Scout in .22 that I bought in 1963, for $60. Frame is 7/8 of the full size Colt Peacemaker. Looks identical to that "Peacemaker," you have there.
Great video Hickok. I really hope you see this. And would love to know your thoughts on this. I am very big into the colt SAA. Over the last several years I have become obsessed with the Colt Single Action Armys history. I have been studying the 5vs6 historically because i found a colt SAA sells brochure from the 1890s, and several in the early 1900s and up to 1930s. It says designed to carry 6 safely On all of them. This started me on a rabbit hole. And before i get into this. I am on the 5 vs 6 side. I just want to know the historical true either way. I myself carry 5 not 6. I do think it is a smart thing to do.... The gun was design for you to put it in the first Notch safety to carry 6. I cant find anything on carrying 5 versus 6 until around the 1950s. I went threw the military trials because i was told this is where it started. But its not in there at all only mentioning the failure of a half cock notch. Then blatantly says it was because of a manufacturing defect. The one big incident relating to the military was a stirrup hitting a hammer causing a round to fire while saddling a horse. When reading this incident report. it states he had it resting on a primer fully down not in the safety notch. I have even found court records of shootings from the 1870s through 1940 where there's been several times where a person discharged 6 rounds. Or mentioned rounds discharged out of 6 loaded. The biggest thing personally that shows 6 were loaded instead of 5. Colt made a lot of different changes to the first gens. Some big some little. And i cant imagine the Army not demanding colt to fix this problem. They payed for 6 not 5. Colt was making changes to this revolver all the time. so why not fix this problem. This brings me to the civilian market. Colt could have been sued for false advertising by saying. Its safe carry 6. In their brochures. in colts history it had never been sued for this. Being i am a engineer I did a spectrum analysis on the strength of the entire lock work on the Single Action Army. Using very low grade steel to replicate the worst case scenario. It takes over 900 ft pounds of pressure to cause a failure on the safety notch. And the failure was the trigger pin starting to shear. Remember this is the crappy metal results the numbers would go up from here. So it would take a incredible impact to break it. So please if you or anyone can show me information proving me wrong. I would love to see it. I am not trying to get people to carry 6. I just want the history. Because if it was 100% they carried 6 then 5. It wont change the way i carry. I would still us 5.
I don’t know if this is relevant or not but I learned to use a 6-o’clock hold with colt single actions. I have a Hammerli Dakota in .45 LC and with a 6-o’clock hold it is dead on.
I enjoy shooting my Uberti 1873 22. Just plinking and relaxing. Time seams to slow down. And it doy cost me a hundred dollars for a afternoon of shooting.
Not all guns shoot the same , I believe most companies use one of two different sights, I might be wrong on the names but one is a combat and the other is a target sight. The difference is where you place the front sight on the rear sight to contact the bulls eye.
We have one in the collection (Belgium). It's a great gun. Very fun to shoot. It's not harder to get the .45 though. Exact same process, so I don't know why the .22 would appeal more to "us in Europe".
looking at the leaf growth, this was recorded sometime ago ? however the 22 bullet there reminds me of when a kid here in england in the 50,s we would go to a fairground and there was a stall useing winchester style rifles which fired 22 bullets loaded by the stall owner, the gun of course was chained to his counter top. usually 4-5 guns in a row. totally outlawed now.
Clint Eastwood demonstrates how to change cylinders during a gunfight in "Pale Rider". He also demonstrates that there's nothing like a nice piece of hickory, but that's not relevant to this video.
My peacemaker was gifted to me from my grandmother. Didnt have the .22 LR cylinder but had the .22 mag. Only difference is the 22 mag has a fluted cylinder. Is that common?
Outstanding video!! Any chance you could do a comparison video on the new CZ owned Colt SAA vs the older ones? Colt had some less than wonderful years in its past and it would be nice to see one of the new CZ Colts.
Instead of more polymer pistols, cheap single action 22s like Heritage and Ruger Wrangler, someone like Pietta should come out with a 7/8 size quality Peacemaker line this. It still amazes me that none of the replica makers have not produced a 22 conversion based on the Colt Pocket Police and Navy. Duh?
I was gifted a Colt .22 Peacemaker about a decade ago. The accuracy for a .22 is phenomenal. Lots of fun and cheap to shoot.
Excellent weight makes for great accuracy, take an eye out at some distance with this old club ♣

Great video! I'll bet John glued that bowling pin down! Lol! How did you know I was having a possum and anchovy pizza? I'm a Ruger guy, got a Single Six and a Blackhawk in 45 Colt.
I have a new frontier In .22 tons of fun
I have an earlier version the Frontier Scout from 1962 - very similar
I guess the .22 peacemaker was a convertible because when I bought mine, used, it had the .22 WMR cylinder in it.
You missed the story of the Great Western, mfg. in California in the fifties . picking up on the slack and providing Hollywood with replicas for the movies. I had a Great Western in .45 LC that had a floating firing pin, and had it modified to get rid of that. Replacing the hammer to the proper one. Had Faux stag grips. Looked nice. But I do still have the Colt Frontier Scout in .22 that I bought in 1963, for $60. Frame is 7/8 of the full size Colt Peacemaker. Looks identical to that "Peacemaker," you have there.
Great video Hickok. I really hope you see this. And would love to know your thoughts on this. I am very big into the colt SAA. Over the last several years I have become obsessed with the Colt Single Action Armys history. I have been studying the 5vs6 historically because i found a colt SAA sells brochure from the 1890s, and several in the early 1900s and up to 1930s. It says designed to carry 6 safely On all of them. This started me on a rabbit hole. And before i get into this. I am on the 5 vs 6 side. I just want to know the historical true either way. I myself carry 5 not 6. I do think it is a smart thing to do.... The gun was design for you to put it in the first Notch safety to carry 6. I cant find anything on carrying 5 versus 6 until around the 1950s. I went threw the military trials because i was told this is where it started. But its not in there at all only mentioning the failure of a half cock notch. Then blatantly says it was because of a manufacturing defect. The one big incident relating to the military was a stirrup hitting a hammer causing a round to fire while saddling a horse. When reading this incident report. it states he had it resting on a primer fully down not in the safety notch. I have even found court records of shootings from the 1870s through 1940 where there's been several times where a person discharged 6 rounds. Or mentioned rounds discharged out of 6 loaded.
The biggest thing personally that shows 6 were loaded instead of 5. Colt made a lot of different changes to the first gens. Some big some little. And i cant imagine the Army not demanding colt to fix this problem. They payed for 6 not 5. Colt was making changes to this revolver all the time. so why not fix this problem. This brings me to the civilian market. Colt could have been sued for false advertising by saying. Its safe carry 6. In their brochures. in colts history it had never been sued for this. Being i am a engineer I did a spectrum analysis on the strength of the entire lock work on the Single Action Army. Using very low grade steel to replicate the worst case scenario. It takes over 900 ft pounds of pressure to cause a failure on the safety notch. And the failure was the trigger pin starting to shear. Remember this is the crappy metal results the numbers would go up from here. So it would take a incredible impact to break it. So please if you or anyone can show me information proving me wrong. I would love to see it. I am not trying to get people to carry 6. I just want the history. Because if it was 100% they carried 6 then 5. It wont change the way i carry. I would still us 5.
My mom had a peace maker. It was a switch off the peach tree..peach maker?😐
I have to admit that was funny a Peachmaker !!!
I know you've shown them a little, but I'd like to see a video on your matching nickel colts
I don’t know if this is relevant or not but I learned to use a 6-o’clock hold with colt single actions. I have a Hammerli Dakota in .45 LC and with a 6-o’clock hold it is dead on.
I have a frontier scout was a gift my dad gave me and it's never getting sold if I ever have a kid ill pass it on to him
For my antique collection id like a Winchester rifle Double Barrel Shotgun and a Colt Revolver
22 mag out of a 6" pistol is comparable in velocity to 22lr out of an 18" rifle IIRC. You also get actual jacketed ammo unlike 22lrs plated boolots.
I love that feature,like having two pistols for the price of one.
What? Hickok, You mean you don't have the latest and greatest red dot on your flintlock? LOL
happy to see your video..very interesting..shoot
Could watch you shoot a SA Colt, all day, thanks
That box is looking low there Hickok time to restock!
Rifle men had some good ep..well said did Billy the kid have one of those? That's the diamond back?.hmmm just asking ☮️ out.
I enjoy shooting my Uberti 1873 22. Just plinking and relaxing. Time seams to slow down. And it doy cost me a hundred dollars for a afternoon of shooting.
They just made a suppressor for a revolver, it's in the prototype phase but pretty cool concept
The .22 is a favorite round of hitmen.
Yeah I point that out often. It's a fine round for murder not as good for self defense though lol.
In one of your videos you mention cargo bib overalls. Carhartt makes them. Not cheap
Great little guns....I have several. If you can find one. buy it.
Not all guns shoot the same , I believe most companies use one of two different sights, I might be wrong on the names but one is a combat and the other is a target sight. The difference is where you place the front sight on the rear sight to contact the bulls eye.
got one of those 22 love it
Looks very appealing, especially for us in Europe, thanks for sharing
We have one in the collection (Belgium). It's a great gun. Very fun to shoot.
It's not harder to get the .45 though. Exact same process, so I don't know why the .22 would appeal more to "us in Europe".
@@AxLWake ok, for me, appealing because of the price of the cartridge
Sure would love a twin set.
I am a happy camper with my two Colt single action revolvers the Frontier Scout 1967 and the Peacemaker 1972 both also with the magnum cylinders !!!!
@@jeffreyelliott622 cool
looking at the leaf growth, this was recorded sometime ago ? however the 22 bullet there reminds me of when a kid here in england in the 50,s we would go to a fairground and there was a stall useing winchester style rifles which fired 22 bullets loaded by the stall owner, the gun of course was chained to his counter top. usually 4-5 guns in a row. totally outlawed now.
Sad times we're in.☹
Ah yes the peacemaker now that's a great tool to make peace with lol ,😂
I have one in the buntline barrel it also has a 22 magnum cylinder
Wish I had a colt ... I have heritage 22lr/22wmr version
Clint Eastwood demonstrates how to change cylinders during a gunfight in "Pale Rider". He also demonstrates that there's nothing like a nice piece of hickory, but that's not relevant to this video.
Yes indeed. Great movie. The Outlaw Josey Wales is my favorite i think.
Greets, T.
My peacemaker was gifted to me from my grandmother. Didnt have the .22 LR cylinder but had the .22 mag. Only difference is the 22 mag has a fluted cylinder. Is that common?
Hickok about to runneth up on thee.
My father has one of these
.22 Magnum was 👍
Outstanding video!! Any chance you could do a comparison video on the new CZ owned Colt SAA vs the older ones? Colt had some less than wonderful years in its past and it would be nice to see one of the new CZ Colts.
Instead of more polymer pistols, cheap single action 22s like Heritage and Ruger Wrangler, someone like Pietta should come out with a 7/8 size quality Peacemaker line this. It still amazes me that none of the replica makers have not produced a 22 conversion based on the Colt Pocket Police and Navy. Duh?
Hahahaha, now I want to put a red dot on a flint lock 🤣🤣🤣
Piecemaker! (Pieces of pots, anyway.)
Got it, nice little plinker
Yay new vid
Speaking of 22, hope to see you get a sig p322 in soon to share with us
