Thanks 2 U and John for sharing your knowledge all this time, you Sir are loved. God has truly blessed us all with your videos.weve come a long way Baby.

🤣

bro same 😂😂😂

Same here hahahahaha

: )))))

LMFAOOO

MrMd5555 Thanks. Glad we're passing along the addiction! :-)

hickok45 Yes, thank you for all the videos and radio shows! Who needs cable? John's Gun Culture Radio with co-hosts (all of them!) has been great too. Every thing that show covers has been conversations I've had with buddies the last few years too. John's perception on topics are so similar to my thoughts (I'm 27 years old). Glad you guys are supported. You guys are great and add a whole new dynamic to the hobby.

MrMd5555 "Private Range" ... SOOOOO JEALOUS!

Vincent Lok ahem....compound; that place is freakin' huge if he can shoot whatever he wants as he does.

one day ... one day ... I shall also have a compound!

***** Didn't really know. Main thing was, I was afraid it was going to be much bigger, and didn't know if it would maybe throw too many sparks back up on the shooting table or ignite straw. We didn't know if it would work out or not, but it was fine.

***** During the video, it occurred to me that I'd just blast it at some point, but I totally forget about it. After the video, I saw it still sitting there and made that comment to John about how I couldn't believe I forgot to shoot the dumb thing. That's the way it goes when there are no breaks or edit points. Whatever happens during the 15 to 25 minutes just happens, or doesn't happen. :-)

hickok45 Can you please do video about your gun safes?????????????!!!!!!!!!!

bulajic32 yes it,s a good idea

I was also expecting him to just turn around and shoot it hah.

routari what country?

Could be worse. :-)

Daniel Bateman >>You look like a regular person. Hickok45 is from Outer-Space.

Daniel Bateman Hickok 45 has never grown up lol

***** you make it sound like it's a bad thing. I wish I could be 6'0" at least, be old and still find a way to shoot as a hobby into my golden years.

Given his previous lives as Dirty Harry, a buffalo hunter and circa 1850 birthdate, you'll have to be around a long time.

Jay Dee my thoughts.

This video could serve as an ad for that fireworks stand next year.

Nothing beats a good one that you are a solid shooter with, the GP100 has (currently) replaced my SIG SAUER 1911 scorpion .45acp and the amazing, absolutely brilliant HK USPc .45 (best compact .45 I've ever used and I've used a lot, i can't believe how accurate i am with it using double taps and a mozambique style shoot)

In 80 years time we will be using energy projection weapons.

Keyser Söze I'll take one of those, but still be firing my revolvers and lever action Marlin, sighting from my cryogenically secured brain encapsulator module.

Keyser Söze It would be so cool to have a nice little collection of phasers stashed away somewhere. But I can't imagine it ever really happen. Modern guns are quite effective in putting holes through things at a distance.

Charles Frazier I think the biggest challenge with man portable, directed energy weapons is the power source. I have no doubts that they will be able to shrink DEW's down to the size of rifles by the end of the century, however I get a feeling the user will be carrying a really heavy backpack tethered to the weapon for power. Think of something out of the Ghostbusters, making a small but energy dense power storage device will be the biggest challenge IMO. I base that on the assumption that an "effective" weapon of this type will require dozens of Kilowatts to power such a weapon. I am not a Scientist or Engineer, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Keyser Söze doubt it

Great comment, I feel the same way...very noticeable!

Yes, it really is. Why do you think it was so successful as a police cartridge?

That’s why I pack one

What they did was completely unconstitutional, I’m surprised they gave the code without a warrant.

We HAVE our own show right here and on Full30. The beauty is, we're in total control of it. On TV we'd lose control.

+hickok45 that's true can't argue or complain wth that:) keep up the amazing videos! You help me decide on my firearm purchase. Much love from Canada :)

+hickok45 i m from india and i regulary watch your videos and show them to my friends etc. you are doing a great work sir.

uneducated dummy you are.. the new world order owns the media.. there is no Jewish conspiracy.. I'm Jewish and a lover of the constitution and the bill of rights and you sir are a moron

Lev Nakhshunov Just because you are Jewish and love the bill of rights and have no connection to media does not mean Jew don't mainly constitute in the controlled media.

Michael McAfee Thanks. You have a real jewel there with that old Model 27, especially with the history of it and your dad.

hickok45 Yes I do. My dad's will be passed down to my son. As for all my other revolvers and semi's as well. If I had your shooting range I would be in absolute heaven.

Thanks again for the opportunity! Thanks so much for you to handle this and thought I would ask to see if you can get a good night's sleep and I will talk to you later today to see if I will be able to the office and I will get back to you on that one and the other one is a little more

Peter Mcphail Jr Thanks. He actually carried a Colt SAA, also. I think he carried both sometimes and then other times just one of them. Both have ivory handles and are beautiful guns.

Peter Mcphail Jr he carried the SAA first. He had a choice (as the officers did) of the new 1911s or the SAA and he chose the SAA. He believed and so do I, that a well place shot is what you need. The event that made the young officer famous was under the command of General Pershing in which he and his men were sent to Mexico to hunt down Pancho Villa. Their party came under fire and he killed a man charging him from horseback. This was the mark of a successful career for the young Lieutenant. American’s were and still are proud and I carry an SAA to this day having been in combat myself, the guy dropping bodies is the guy taking proper aim. I assure you.

Fwiw, I once read that Patton carried a brace of Colt Woodsman .22LR's when he was stateside.

I know hahaha....still, he usually rocks it, wanted to see more of my carry gun (the gp100, 1986 made and solid as hell)

There are others I prefer but you're not wrong.

Valoro85 He's always done fantastic camera work & I've informed him. Obviously not going to get a reply, but I give credit where it's due!

Sir Strange i wonder if its real 60 fps some youtubers double the frame rate in edit for some reason

Octahedron You can easily distinguish the difference, definitely 60 frames.

My dad has a 4 inch GP100 from the early 90s, it's a fantastic revolver. Built like a tank. Feels like you couldn't break it if you tried.

I have one too. Such a great gun. Easy shooting and accurate.

Glock 43 I want an sp 101 in a 4"

That baby is going to be my first revolver purchase this video sealed the deal for me.

Yeah, I was disappointed to discover that Ruger&Co deleted the Security-Six and Speed-Six while I was looking elsewhere back in the day.. They are somewhat hard to find around here, or I would have a used one.. Guys that got'em, keep'em, which says a lot about that series of revolvers. Will have to be content with my Snakes and Mod 28...

I just got one but I'm changing the combination

@@rodneysnextchapter615 is it electronic?

@@The-Host dial lock

@@The-Host I found out what they did 1 hrs after completing my purchase. I'm ordering the key to change the combination

@@rodneysnextchapter615 ya that's a bummer. IDK much about which ones are affected. I just avoided the company as a whole after that. Hope it works out for ya tho!

Abolutely, best one-shot-stopper for a carry pistol (unless you go Dirty Harry, lol)

Just got an old one (same year I was born, 1986) w/ adjustable sights and it shoots smoother than my buddies GP100 Sport or whatever it's called, also better than his dad's Wiley Clapp, probably from the polished trigger mine has? I dunno.

Billthrasher I'm sure they're gun grabbers.

Billthrasher I don't own a 357... yet.

Who are they?! Commies!

I've always wanted a Python. Too bad I'll probably never be able to get one due to price and rarity. But you never know, maybe I'll get lucky!

Yeah, when I sold it I didn't know it would get rare and hard to find at a reasonable price afterwards, ahhhh, honestly I do regret my desition!

Roman Tabora No kidding I once owned both a Python and an Anaconda the python was a 1968 model with 4 inch barrel and was still in like new shape when I sold it back in 1981 I believe was when I sold it, the anaconda was a 1995 model with the 8 inch barrel chambered in the less common 45 LC offering, both were awesome guns, I truely wish someone would have kicked me in the man parts for even cosidering selling either of them before I did, even though I did get a good price out of them, they were still somehow way better than what they build in recent times it seems--- especially that python---man was it a tack driver and sweet shooter, live and learn I guess.

looseballs1966 When I was younger I used to sell some to buy some more, now , once I buy them they are mine to stay.

SuperSaltydog77 Yea me too.

I just got my CCW and got a K frame 7 shot performance center its a great gun forsure!

@@ricochetey I haven't even carried a gun in a long time. Just getting out to a range to shoot is a pain, and expensive these days as well. If I was someone that could just go shooting often and enjoy a bunch of guns (looking at you Hickok) while staying conditioned to the one I carry, than I could easily justify owning everything that appeals to me. I feel that if I am going to have limited range/training time with my chosen carry gun, than I should just own the gun I'm going to carry and stay used to it. So from an entirely practical standpoint, I logically think I should just own and carry a Glock 19 and be done with it. On the other hand I'm one of those that actually LIKES guns and I want to really be happy with the one I choose, so I don't want a gun that I find to be ugly and uninspiring. Call it nostalgia, or even romanticism, whatever it may be, I find myself drawn to a stainless short barreled revolver these days, just like I used to feel about the 1911. So when I see the arguments for and against autos vs revolvers, or this model vs that, or this cartridge vs that, and the KZfaq community criticizing one another for each others choices I just think "have we completely forgotten that we can, and perhaps should, use what we LIKE?" and none of us need justify any of our choices to anyone. Now to anyone that does really LIKE the Glock family for more than it's practical qualities, hell maybe you even think it's sexy, that's great! I mean no offense and I envy you as this would be a very easy position to be in. Best of both worlds so to speak. Personally, I'm so sick of the "tacticool" spec ops commando wanabe everything needs to be flat black and covered in rails, blah, blah, blah you get the idea. Call it the culture of COD or whatever I am not a part of it and I even own AR's and such. They all have there place and I may end up getting a Glock one day. I do appreciate them as the tools they are. Unfortunately I just don't see them as more than that. On the other hand a model 66 with a nice grip is a thing of beauty to me. I need to get out to a range and rent some revolvers to see just how much I like them after firing them. I may feel differently then, lol. I shot a .44 Spl. large frame, sort bbl., revolver with stock grip way back in the `90s and hated the way that back strap treated my hand. I can't even imagine what a magnum would have been like. I love that a .357 gives me lots of options in ammo. If need be I can just use .38s exclusively, though the 9mm is more effective. I really don't want to load my revolver with 9mm though for, once again, impractical reasons, lol. I just don't want ammo not made for a gun of that design, and needing moon clips, etc.. Though I love the 9x19, I love it in autos. In a revolver I want revolver (rimmed) ammo. I strongly considered the 9mm version of the SP 101, and I may reconsider, but right now I'm leaning hard towards a 2.25" to 3" bbl. SP101 in .357. Ok I've ranted on here long enough for now. Sorry and thank you to anyone that bothered to read my article. :)

@@ricochetey That is very cool. I'm sure it's in a good home. Should be a lot of fun.

I love you

***** agreed. I have one with the 2.5" barrel. It's my little nail driver... :)

***** Mine's a 686-3, 6" barrel. My first revolver in 1991 or so.

***** Python.

I got a 686-1 w/ 4" barrel. I love it!

That is a very nice looking gun.

+mytmouse57 It's the perfect cartridge imo. Plenty of stopping power, but still low-ish recoil and accurate

Squires Indeed. I shoot well enough with my .357, I would feel comfortable hunting with it. And I'm far from the best shot with a handgun.

+mytmouse57 I'm a huge fan of the .357 as well. at one point I was thinking about going up to .44s but after I saw the cost/round... 357'll do just fine

Yeah, they're expensive and impractical.

63DW89A why don’t you like .357? It was literally designed to kill a human sized target with its muscle mass and all. It’s a .30 caliber perfect for humans, with a lot of powder (speed kills).
