I keep recommending my friends 'to stock up on truth'. They look at me with glazed eyes and a blank expression... I have a feeling we will have a shortage of truth in the future, don't forget toilet paper too!! Truth cannot be destroyed, by definition of natural law, that is what makes something true. Everybody can choose not to believe in it, or it can be hidden and obfuscated even for centuries, but truth cannot be destroyed. Right now people willingly choose not to seek truth, but in the future their instinct and metabolism will require the truth, but it will be hidden and unavailable for them... So please study natural law and stock up on truth!

I agree that it's a shame that we live in a day & age where we as a society have become so preoccupied with race and percieved racism. In all the videos I've seen on your channel, you've never given me a reason to question your character or integrity. Thank you for your willingness and dedication to sharing your knowledge & experience with those of us who can appreciate it.

Fantastic!! Can never get enough Hickok45!!!

To learn what you do it worth the time to watch. To learn why you do it ... priceless! Thanx!

Yessir! All of my pistol magazines are filled with either Gold Dot’s or HST’s. The +p variety. I haven’t seen any tests of any other ammo that has convinced me to change. That being said, it’s the Indian, not the arrow. And I have fond memories of watching The Rifleman episodes with my parents when I was growing up. It was my parents favorite show. And I would sit and watch them with my dad when he was living with us the last year of his life. No one can ever take those great memories away from me.

On the rare occasion that you get off topic (LOL) you almost without fail apologize. I believe there are many, myself included, who genuinely enjoy listening to your brain talk. Truly enjoyed the video! Thank you.

Hi Greg. You took the words right out of my mouth when you compared the lone ranger and the rifle man. I’m 68 years old and I won hundred percent agree with you the cartoonish aspects of lone ranger versus the rifle man. Both are very entertaining on two different levels. Have a great day sir, and stay safe and healthy from Buffalo 🦬 New York. 🇺🇸

Thanks Hickok. I like it when you ramble on as you are a very knowledgeable and interesting man. Could be because I'm an old man too. Thanks again

I tried ballistol on my muzzle loader this year. After my usual soap and water cleaning I thought wow that barrel is really clean. Then I sprayed some ballistol in the barrel after a few minutes of setting I swabbed it again and my gosh what a mess came out. A few patches later it’s really clean now for sure. Thank you for your tip sir. Great video.

You're a good man, thank you for obliging us and our questions! On the topic of old TV shows, I believe the BEST series of the Western genre is 'Have Gun Will Travel'. Much along the lines of the also liked 'Rifleman', each episode was based on lifetime lessons, morals, integrity, honesty. Paladin was ahead of his time and Richard Boone was truly an inspirational actor for a kid like me. I'm not sure he realized just how important his impact was on his audience! I think it was significant and while he has passed on, I only wish that while he was here that he knew the big impact he had on his audience and his role as Paladin. It's something that I believe he would've valued had he known it or even comprehended it in his life.

Old man, I used to watch you when I was a kid. You taught me how to shoot, no one else

@Hickok45 Mine for my 380 only is Precision One, for everything else (9mm) it's been the Hornady FTX or the critical defense. But I haven't been forced yet to use it in defense praise the Lord. But none of it has changed color or degraeded and every year, I dump the mag at the range with no issues and clean and lubricate the mag and reload. And I like that fact. Life is threat assement. Avoiding the conflict is the primary and most effective countermeasure. As my momma said, "nothing good happens after midnight".

I was pleased to find that the Hornady Custom +P .200 gn XTP .45 ACP load ran exactly the same through my Oehler - 1060 fps - as my pet handload with 7.0 grains of Unique. GOOD load, btw. I like the 185 grain Cor-Bon, too...it's got more energy, but it's got some distracting muzzle flash like a hot 125 grain .357 in a short barrel.

i was watching the 7 year old videos cause i buy firearms weekly just got to my 15th firearm at 18 years old got a few shotguns and i got the m&p 22 that was built like a standard ar15 and i noticed most guns i buy you have videos from 7 years ago so was seeing if you still made videos and you are glad to see that keep it up! i love the content

in the winter you could do these in your pew pew room. my dads reloading/gun room had such a laid back kewl ambiance with it....winters arent getting any easier since im getting older lol

Love the, ‘talk around’ format!

Zero malfunctions! I carried a Ruger EC9s that was jammed and the slide was locked up and I didn't know. I was on big property and test fired it and it was nil. I worked on it very carefully. I eventually got it freed up after some weeks, but that gun is now just hanging in my safe. It was light weight & thin. But worthless if it doesn't go bang.

Really enjoyed this and all your videos. Look forward to them. I was hoping you would tell what your carry guns in rotation are. Thank you.

I love these Q and A videos!

What I learned today as an old white guy - nothing about most of the questions, we do carry the same SD ammo but i also use Winchester SXTs. I enjoyed just sitting here and listening to you talk, ive been around guns for all of my 62 years and really started shooting and hunting at 11 years old. But when some one who is older ( that may or may not matter ) and can hit a gong at what 180 yards? With a snub nose 38 spl im going to sit and listen because I might learn something.

I like this format. One suggestion, if I may. New shooters are most likely the ones asking questions, so in light of that you need to be more specific sometimes.

Just to muddy the waters on cartridges, The 44-40 will not chamber in a 44 magnum but will chamber in a 45 colt. One of the great advantages of the "Peacemaker" . I have fired the 44-40 in my Ruger Valquaro. All that happened was the case blew out to fill the chamber of the 45 Colt. In a pinch you can shot both out of your 45 LC. Clay

In response to a viewer ?, John M Browning stated in the 1910s, the BEST load for his "new" single action 1911 model was 230gr. He explained the gun was T&Eed around round nose, 230gr FMJ & JHPs. Not all types of semi wadcutter, flat tip or fancy ammunition.

Always enjoy your videos… as far as Q&A / FAQs… what do you think about MIM (metal injection molding) regarding weapon components (high and low stress).

Thanks for posting this refreshing fireside chat.

I agree with the Federal HST. My carry in .45 for years. But as you said, there are a lot of good carry ammo out there from a lot of different manufacturers. When it gets down to .380, I prefer the extreme defense, (Screwdriver bullets). And yes, number one in any carry ammo is function. If it doesn't work, it isn't as good as ball ammo.

I had the Remington Golden Saber 10gr in my 380 S&W Bodyguard. But I just changed it out with American Eagle 95gr FMJ the other day. I got my 1st revolver at age 12. It was a used $20 RG 22 snub nose. I carried that gun everywhere I went around our small farm in the 70's. I'm almost 60 now- and I've carried every since then. Almost every type of handgun and calibers and bullet types. I'm 6 years prior service. FMJ was what we carried in all of our weapons. I felt ok using those rounds, and I honestly still feel ok with FMJ and round nose lead. I know that attitude isn't popular now, but that is just how I am. I do carry hollow points too. I've got ammo cans full of the latest and greatest rounds that are now looked down on. I honestly like the reliability and cost of the non-hollow points. I personally think "over penetration" is way over worried about. I guess like most guys, I constantly change my mind on what to load up with. But reliability is my first concern. I have to have a bullet- gun combo that I trust. I have lost sleep when I've had malfunctions. I have to totally trust my carry gun and ammo.
