Hickock45 at Bud's Gunshop Sevierville Sept 20

[hso]

Just an FYI for the interested.

Ballistol?.....

Will he be signing bottles of Ballistol? Lol.

Really, I enjoy his Youtube.com clips. He seems to shoot a lot of guns.
Unlike a few YT gun channel hosts & endorsed personalities, Hickok45 seems honest & genuine. I'd go meet him if I lived in that area.

I want to buy his Marlin STP

This.

It's refreshing to see a normal guy just blasting away, instead of a fake Russian or a mall ninja. Youtube needs more people like him.

If I was to meet him, I'd rather it be over his kangaroo covered table at that nice little steel plate range he has set up out there. I'll bring the 2 liters and a case of shook up soda cans.

Even though he prefers his Glocks, I've always enjoyed how he is open to anything and avoids being a typical fanboy beyond a t-shirt or cap. I don't recal him ever really trashing anything besides just to say what he himself likes or dislikes about it. He had all the oppurtinity in the world to trash the Bodyguard and good reason with all the light strikes he experianced, but he still refrained from it becoming a bash session.

A signed can of Ballistol.... That would be appropriate.

Would like to me him sometime, but I'd probably go to complainin' about how much he has cost me over the last couple of years. Ever since I was amazed to see how accurate a human being could actually be with a free standing pistol....I had to have a Glock......then another......then reloading stuff, etc.

He and his son are apparently large as 'squatches, so I better keep that subject to myself.

H45 brings a lot to the table -- a variety of qualities that most Youtubers cannot match.

* He's a skilled and experienced teacher. He knows how to keep people interested, how to impart knowledge and how not to offend others.

* He's a lot more educated and erudite then he often lets on.

* He's shot, competed with and bought/sold/traded guns for a very long time. He's no newcomer. He's also not a pro -- he's an average guy who most of us can relate to.

* His interests in guns is very wide -- from muskets to Glocks.

* He made a public decision not to accept gun donations from major gun makers which I think helps keep his reviews a bit more pure.

* Most of all he's fairly humble. I truly hope he maintains that quality as his star continues to rise...

 

[Tinker]

Ditto to that.

I don't youtube much, but when I do, I watch hickok45.

Not too professional, not too amateurish, just right.

I also like to see that H45 is using Facebook to support 2A rights even though some of his fans (who clearly don't have a clue) reacted negatively when he began using it.

Seems like a lot of gunnies tend to go off half-cocked on some matters (like Facebook) which they know nothing about other than what they hear on gun forums and gun shops. Some confused folks seem to wear the badge of Facebook ignorance with a misplaced sense of pride. Rather embarrassing...

I bought an Enfield musketoon due to one of his videos.
Seems like a real nice guy and his videos are pretty entertaining and typically informative as well.

instead of a fake Russian or a mall ninja.

..well, i would like to meet Gecko45.

..well, i would like to meet Gecko45.

Me too

He's probably a little too busy taking out terrorists behind the Orange Julius stand to make any public appearances, though.

 

[PhilMc]

Had a chance shake his hand and talk briefly at Indy NRA meeting. Seems like just a normal guy to me.

Of all the youtube shooters, I like H45 the most. Needless to say, he has the best homemade range, too.

Wish I could shoot as well as he does.
