This man is a great shot and is also fun to watch. He shoots, his son films generally. They shoot all sorts of weapons, curios, to the best modern day civilian firearms to date.

I do like some of his videos, however he gives all guns a good review, so it's hard to view him as objective, I like the reviewers who share the good and the bad helps you gain information on a gun if you are thinking of buying it.

I subscribe to that channel and I have to agree...he has never seen a gun he doesn't like. I'm kinda the same, even though I don't have access to as many as he does.

I'm sold on a couple of guns he demonstrated, but I went to many other sites to confirm the good review there.

It's still a real fun site.

He's the best. He has said many times he doesn't review firearms that have problems. So, his reviews are mostly positive. He does point out problems that come up but most modern firearms are well made.

I agree he's hard to beat if you like to hear bullets hitting steel..............

Hickok's channel is a good one. He does good reviews on the guns. If you want to know a little more about a gun you can private message him on youtube.

Hickok is the guy that got me started doing gun videos on youtube, but I doubt he knows it.
Since he is a big fan of S&W revolvers, I asked him if he had ever tried Kim Ahrends aftermarket grips on any of his Smiths.
He said that he had never heard of them. I looked around for a video to refer to him and couldn`t find one. So I made one of my own.
Much to my surprise, people actually watched it. So I made a couple more. Discovered it was fun. Been doing gun videos ever since.

Hickok is one of the nicest guys in the gun community. He does not have a bad bone in his body. Plus he shoot a fly at a 100 yards!

All his videos are very much the same, yawn. He does know his firearms though and shoots well.

Hicok45 started this all for me. Through his channel I found weapons education.

I have been watching Hickok pretty much since he started posting videos. I subscribe to a lot of people, but he is the one I look forward to watching, ( besides Tom's videos of course :) ). If you watch Hickok long enough you can tell by his expressions which guns he likes and the ones he thinks are just ok. He has always said he doesn't consider himself a reviewer. He just gives his impression and shoots them.

I'm a big fan of Hickok45. He just seems to have absolute fun shooting anything. One of the big attactions to me is his range. He does probably what most of us really want to do--shoot stuff and hit it. Fruit, two liters, full cans of pop, or whatever. Alright, I'm going for the Gong, lol.....

Me too, but he's probably shot more rounds than most of us put together. :)

Not entirely true. He blasted the H&K P30 for a number of faults that were either entirely personal preference, or completely incorrect, like the gun only being a DA/SA gun, when in fact it's also offered in a DAO striker fire LEM version, too, for example. He whined about the mag release, although I find it a hundred times better than the American style button releases on guns like the 1911.

I like H&K's they are great guns, but suffer from being expensive and boxy. Would still love one, its funny some of their rifles are super sexy but most of their handguns look like bricks.

Expensive, I absolutely agree, but a P30? Boxy? Are we talking about the same gun here?

By and large, he reviews quite a wide range of firearms. From Kel-Tec, to Ruger, Mosin-Nagant, S&W. Doesn't matter if it's a budget gun like S&W SD9VE or something high-end, he happily hits the gong, shoots the iron pigs/rams and kills those nasty 2-liters.

He's a riot, but also a wealth of knowledge.

I couldn't say it any better. He's the first channel that I subscribed to on YouTube. More 2-liters!!

I wish I had the room to build a range like that in my back yard. /jealous.

I enjoy hickok45 and I love to plink but it has been a long while since I was on a plinking range. I used to go with a good friend of mine every Thanksgiving to his Uncles house who had a plinking range. Great fun. When I am wound up after a long day I will watch a long video on his channel, the school teacher in him puts me to sleep every time. LOL, Sorry hickok45.
