One of the first
If I had a serious question about a handgun or rifle for that matter , he would be one of the first I would go to for an answer. I have been watching him online for a good while now and he is one of the most knowledgable an informed shooters I know about online that is down to earth and practices what he preaches. My hats off to him , and yes life is good.

I also have subscribed to Hickok45's YouTube channel. He is most informative without being the slightest bit obnoxious, is an outstanding shot in my opinion, and I sure wish I could right-click, copy and paste his range!!
As another poster said, he is the real deal.

FPS Russia is the most annoying person I've yet to see on Youtube.
Gunblast gets read BUT his reviews have NO bearing on future purchases.
Hickok45 was disliked at first then he became a VERY fun watch.
Nutnfancy drives me insane and i want to debark him every time he says noob.
I like the Midway or Browning (not sure which it is or it might be both and I just haven't differentiated) videos too that i find when searching for specific gunsmithing ideas that i just don't understand enough to relate in a story.

Never heard of a two minute duration rule for YouTube videos and would not agree with such a "rule" if I had ever heard of such.
I am a huge fan of Hickok45.
You know what else I notice about Hickock, is that he never knocks a gun, like all the other Utube video people do. There are far to many who curse and talk down to the people who stumbled onto their video. one starts out by calling everyone the B word, I immediatlly notified Utube that it was offensive, and many have no skills and could cause harm. But Hickock is above that, he neither knocks the guns nor the other people who sometimes mention mention him in their videos.
Some of these guys really rip apart the firearm, as if they could build a better one. Playing soldier and acting like they are in a science fiction movie. I have yet to see Hickock, say a gun was a piece of junk, he is a diplomat, he may think it, but never alienate the people who produce it.
There is a market for everthing and his discussions on topics like accuracy, and what works for him, really hit the nail on the head, Sometimes we all think that our way is the only way, he dispells that by adapting to whatever he is shooting.I hope he continues to stay the course, and give us unbiased information in an easily digestable manner.

You can really tell he is a teacher from the way he explains things. I'm sure his students really like him. I like to hear guys talk about the firearms and not just shoot them. Hickok45 is by far the best gun channel on youtube.

As I understand it he's a middle school teacher and has been since college, but was a reserve Sheriff's deputy for several years.

Ive watched a few Hicock videos. IM also a nutn fan but to each his own. Where would one start to get into Hicock more
I subscribe and love his work. I like the real world approach he takes, not to technical but nothing amateur. He tells you what you need to know about the gun then shows you what it's truly capable of. A stark contrast to the other clowns on YouTube who command ridiculous subscription numbers. One clown comes prominently to mind...
I like the guy and actually watched a new video last night where he was using a Rossi 12 gauge coach gun.
Gotta love a 12 gauge and that video pretty much shows the capability of the firearm.
He appears to be a square away guy with a decent sense of humor.

I'm a Fan..... If he is not a member of this forum someone ought to tell him about this place. I think his experience would fit in well here.

I'm a subscriber so I obviously enjoy him.
He's my number one youtube site. Hickock has a very special gift for conveying information in a relaxing and 'ah shucks' style. Very bright guy who plays it down to seem like the every-man.
Though I really admire his shooting skills, I often wish he would teach more and shoot less during the videos.
Quite a special guy. A pleasure to watch.
Since I suspect he's reading this thread, thank you for your time and work on the channel. It is really a joy and much appreciated.

Haha. I can't stand the guy's delivery either...something about that nasal voice and his mouth. With that being said, I still watch his vids from time to time. The man has videos with detailed analysis of guns, and he even shoots them and gives you some opinions. I ignore the opinions, but the content sure beats just about anything on television.
That being said, I enjoy Hickock's videos far more. I just bought a farm and I'm trying to lay out a range very similar to his setup.
