My EDC back in the '60s... only mine took rolls of caps...

The handle looks like it's made from werther's original

Love these old school revolvers

'Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway' - John Wayne

Thank you for honoring our ancestry, our actors, and our firearms and their inventors. You did a public service on this one.

The Sons of Katie Elder was another great movie with J. Wayne.

Gun laws are like telling law abiding drivers that they can't have cars because drunk drivers too have cars.

Thunder, gunfire, Hickok's voice.......those are the sounds of freedom

I believe that the original movie revolver was not a Colt but a Great Western Arms Company, made in Los Angeles. Colt suspended production of their SAA at the onset of WW 2 and did not resume production at the war's end. During that time western movies were very popular and the prop houses needed a supply of SAA revolvers which were becoming scarce. In 1954 Great Western started making copies of the SAA knowing that there was a demand in the movie industry. John Wayne appeared on the company’s catalogs through its entire run. He was presented with two sets of engraved revolvers, one of these sets he used later in the 1976 film The Shootist. Audie Murphy and Mel Torme were other endorsers.

Hickok: Some of you don't even know who John Wayne is, and that's ok. Me: NO, No it's not ok.

"Mr. McCandles, I thought you were dead!"......Big Jake; "Not hardly!"

The BEST John Wayne Western is "The Searchers," but my favorite is "Rio Bravo."

Rooster cogburn John Wayne true grit or if you would prefer Jeff Bridges as a rooster cogburn both performances were outstanding...

True Grit was John Wayne’s only Academy Award. Great Movie.

Love the “Gun”, have a couple, but the one I really want is a copy of his pair he carried in “The Shootist”, Beautiful engraved pair. ❤️🔫👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠

John Wayne's Rooster Cogburn was one of his best roles!

I read someplace that John Wayne actually knew Wyatt Earp. When John Wayne started making movies in the 1920s an aging Wyatt Earp was a technical director in Hollywood. John Wayne, working on Western movies, knew him quite well.

I bought an old 1947 Iver Johnson 22LR Safety Rifle a while back. It was rusty. Worked it over with real fine steel wool, wiped it down with a dry rag, then used mil spec LSA all over. It gets that treatment every so often. It is a great shooter.

I know exactly what you mean....I feel sorry for the youth of today. They've missed out on the best. Including Rooster Cogburn............ it's not okay that people haven't heard of John Wayne........ Also, thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories watching those wonderful movies.

I grow up watching those John Wayne movies. Still watch them in fact just two nights ago I watched the shootist. One day maybe I'll buy that.

THE COWBOYS was a great movie

One of the Dukes favorites, the look is classic John Wayne, nice gun Pilgrim

He even talked with Wyatt Earp. Can you imagine how that conversation was? I’d love to have been there.

always love watching your channel! its nice to find a channel that is filled with reasonable people with the same values I have. You sold me on a Ruger LC9s that I purchased, very happy with it! Looking forward to all your new uploads!

Hickok45: I like all of your videos but I LOVE your videos dealing with Single Action revolvers. They are so much fun to shoot and collect I wish every gun owner had at least one of them.

You're lucky to be where water's so handy. I've seen the time I've drank out of a filthy hoofprint - and was glad to get it. 😂😂😂

Just throwing this out there so you know... I live just south of Tucson and in September there was an announcement on the local news that old Tucson was going to close down indefinitely because of the covid pandemic. Ownership is going to be transferred to the county and they will decide what to do with the town if the covid panic ever subsides. Very sad for those of us who grew up near it and were able to visit frequently to walk the streets that The Duke strolled down....

Good morning everyone! A beautiful handgun.

Hickok seems like the old ex outlaw and gunslinger of an old west town that loves showing off his skill once and a while

In the book it's said that Rooster use a 44/40 revolver... He also have a Winchester 1873 and Mattie is surprise to see that both guns use the same cartridges Great gun anyway!

"Well Rooster, looks like we're both shot to hell"

Rumor has it Duke soaked the original grips in tea to age them........

Nice gun looks smooth too , and I always appreciate a good history lesson , you do a great presentation and cover a lot about the particular gun and it's history, great job Hickok thanks for all you do !

I just watched Rockisland auction sell Waynes actual revolver. It had an enlarged trigger guard for his large hand. It sold for $450,000.

I know Hickok usually wears his baseball caps in his videos, but can we all agree that the cowboy hat is a natural fit for him?

It took me fifty some years of hard wear an tares carry for my colt to look exactly like that with original Catlin grips. An I prefer the term "wheel gun "

“That’s a Colts Dragoon, your no bigger than a corn nubbin what are you doing with all this pistol?”

Chance, John T. is my favorite John Wayne character and Rio Bravo is one of my favorite movies.

This is a replica of John Wayne's cinema firearms ,I had the Wyatt Earp model and traded it for blackhawk,( idk if that was the best decision or not but both are great) I want one of these

How can you not love a good old western style Revolver

"Hear that? It´s the sound of freedom"... You are absolutelly right.

Hell yea! Wish he was here.

Someone's been in quite a revolver mood lately. Not complaining tho

I'm glad I was here to see the video, because I love watching the videos he makes

When we hear "the sound of freedom" where I live, we lock the doors.

Im 29 and i grew up watching old westerns with my mom, high noon, and rooster cogburn were some of my favorites

Are kidding one of John Wayne’s best characters movies.

This older version of Hickok , good see this old version of him again

I'd totally pay to see Hickok play Rooster Cogburn.

Rooster Cogburn, John Wayne in "True grit", best western ever

Love a single action AND a big John Wayne fan! ANY chance of Colt (or clone) Storekeeper test/review?

I love a John Wayne movie. True Grit one of my favorites.

"Fill your hands", the best John Wayne movie is "Sons of Katie Elder" with Dean Martin.

Most movies after the Searchers he carried the Colt with the "aged Ivory" grip. He used 2 in The Shootist

Hears gunshots in the distance: Oh that sweet music 😂

Some of my all time favorite movies True Grit, Rooster Cogburn and Mclintock. Although I do love em all.

Hands up. How many other Gen-xers and baby boomers here have thousands of hours of training just with the cap gun replica of that pistol? I know I do. lol

Hickok in case you are wondering the original grips were made of Catalin an old Bakelite type plastic used in the 1930s. Definitely one of my favorite types of grips I own.

All these Cimaron videos has me holding out hope for a video of their Doc Holliday model

I had to pause this and watch the shootout and the final scene from "True Grit." Duke's pistol does look like that.

He said "Ahhhh"... "The sound of FREEDOM"!... Hahahaha!... I LOVE IT!

My father told me that in the very first john wayne movies they used live rounds . When they shot into the canyon and hit the bolder the sound was real.

John Wayne played Cole Thornton in "El Dorado"

At 8am in Upstate NY, I voted for Liberty, Freedom and The 2nd Amendment! If all of you who agree does as well, we can Keep America Great! God Bless America!!!

Sir I dont know nothing about this gun... I am from way away from America. But I am glad that I know now. And had been long subscriber and a big fan... much love and respect and God bless you all

I've heard a rooster crowing in the morning a few times on my grandfathers farm. I did wish I had a rooster shooter at the moment, because dawn was easily 30 minutes off.

True grit bubba! Dad loved him grew up with him and love him too! My favorite was El Dorado! Good ol Mississippi!!!! Ride Booly ride! I’m only 41 brother!

Hey Hickok, Mike Harvey told a story about a gun show in Houston Texas where he made a deal on a rifle pistol trade. The pistol was the "Rooster Shooter". When the young man turned to leave Mike noticed Rooster embroidered on his jacket and on the back was the Bandito's badge. The Rooster is an exact copy of that pistol.

I just picked up a Man with no name SAA but was also looking at this one.

The hat, shirt, gun belt help you to look mighty fine but the best accessory is the pistol in your hand!

Original grips were Maurice D. Scharlac, "Catalin" hand made gun grips. Corpus Christi, Texas. Paid $100.oo for my second generation colt in 1968. Had these grips. Still my main carry. You should think about cross draw carry. It's only logical.

Great videos, my number one channel 🇺🇸. I have read that Audy Murphy had interest in a company called great western, engraved ivory grips on them a pair. Supposedly the gun showed up in the movie 🎥 the shootist , great video and camera working.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Rooster cogburn is one of the best westerns out there

Please run for president Mr. Hickok..

You’re not the only one with rust showing up on the Rooster. If anything I think it adds to the character.

I always see your videos from Brazil very good wu I was like number 1000 big hug from Brazil Rio Grande do Sul !!!!

The story Mike Harvey (CEO of Cimarron firearms)tells the story that the name Rooster came from the man he bought the original Colt from in 1979 at a gun show. Supposedly a Bandito MC member. And the John Wayne Foundation wanted a fee for using the name Rooster. They didnt end up getting it.

Funny... I used to know who Rooster was. The older we get the more we forget.

I love these style revolvers especially western ones

The bluing process is a controlled rusting so you have to keep an eye on the finish and try to keep oily finger prints and such off the finish as much as you can but there are rust removing agents to remove the blue finish but you will have to re blue after thats done

Nice to see quality craftsmanship from modern gunmakers.

Im always thinking of getting a gun and flip flopping on it then you post a video of that EXACT gun. You've made me get many, GP100, Rock Island 1911, Ruger Mark 4, to list a few. Keep up the quality content.

I believe some Cimmaron revolvers have a factory 'old age' finish. I've also seen them in mirror blue-black finish, as well as nickel-plated and basic bluing. They also have nice one-piece wood grips, like a colt original.

The same revolver in all the Cogburn movies. It really got beat up. I like it. Might have escort one home. I really like the cowboy guns. Super fun to shoot as well. From old cartridges to the new ones, love them all. They work. Gunsite has a course I will take once they let us out of covid mania for defense with a single action revolver. I carry a single action at my ranch in 45LC. Powerful or soft, depending upon how you load it. Hits about a 2.5" group at 25 yards, but that is the shooter not the gun. Have taken "opportunity" hogs just walking around in the early morning with it. (Yes, they end up in the deep freeze and get eaten.)

Hickok45, John Wayne's Character name in El Dorado was Cole Thornton.

Would love to have one. Looks exactly like Rooster’s. Thanks for showing.

I'm a guitar player and I love "reliced" guitars. People hate on them: "put the wear on yourself!" But I love the look and the feel. This is totally the "firearm equivalent"

Old tucson is awesome Hickok! Cool hat btw.

As always .... good stuff from Hickok45 !! Hats off to Cimarron for the vast array of Old West replica firearms they offer from Pietta and Uberti !!!

I So Loves that movie heck i loved all of John Wayne Movies

I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them. J.B. Books (John Wayne) The Shootist.

John Wayne's last movie was The Shootist in 1976; he passed in 1977 or 78

Hey. Did you know that in a movie I saw on Netflix yesterday (RATTLESNAKE) there is a scene where the Girl is in the Desert and is looking at a video on her phone with you on it explaining a GLOCK.

I just acquired this exact same 6 shooter from a raffle at my local lions club! I have to admit I'm not crazy about the grips, (maybe bone white) but now I know why they chose that color. Can't wait to get it and shoot it! I have seen the old John Wayne movies and did not know that this was a replica of the gun he carried. How cool. Thanks for the video 🤠

Good to see cowboy Hickok back at it again

Thank you! Great gun, and great movie.

Hickok little corny jokes at the beginning of his videos be funny😂

True Grit was the first movie on my local Fox channel when that network first came out.

wow...simply wow! One of your best videos - Thanks!!

Hey Kickok, love your videos. Specially enjoy your single shooter videos. Keep it up
