They managed to get the thread locked over their OCD. Like a bunch of kids afraid to take their action-figures out of the package and at with them.

Some folks get wound up over the silliest stuff.  In the "Professional Specifications" thread, they got to flinging poo about the case the gun came in.

I love his videos.

Anyone else notice that when he rings the gong at about 4:19 in,  you can see the bullets flying?

Read the thread on the 1911 forum - lots of guys with their panties in a twist.

There's retardation everywhere. Even here. 1911forum has some cool shit on it.

Also, one of the people in that thread who was speaking negatively about the Hickok video was a guy who works at Alchemy Custom, who apparently also worked for Springfield, and Les Baer. If that's true, then he can talk all the shit he wants.

I don't think Alchemy Custom said anything that tremendously horrible.
He did compliment his shooting.

Yeah I bit my tongue on that thread.  I saw NOTHING in that video that would make me flip out.

There are a few trolls, colt elitists, know-it-alls and bbq gun owners that look down at people who actually fire their weapons on a regular basis and get them dirty.

Lots of old bitchy whiners on 1911 forum.

Hickick 45 is a You-Tube dirt shooter that can actually hit shit.  He has next to 0 firearms handling skills, standing by a table shooting in his back 40 is about his level of competency.  

I don't know why anyone watches the guy.

The number of views he receives on his videos and the checks he cashes from youtube disagree with you.  Its obvious that people find him likable and enjoy his videos.  Enough said.

I think he was also a LEO for quite a while.

Look, people are reading too much into this guy's youtube channel that wonder why people watch it.  He has a big backyard range and he likes to shoot stuff, and he actually hits what he's shooting at.  Every once in a while he throws in a corny joke.  He convinces companies and other shooters to send him weapons to show on his channel, and he blows stuff up with them.  As an experienced shooter with decades of plinking or actually carring various service weapons he can give us a "backyard" opinion of what he thinks, but that's all it is.  His opinion.

Basically people watch his videos to see him shoot something THEY think is something interesting that they have no access to.  That's all.  He's not an armorer.  He's not a factory rep.  He doesn't sell anything.  He just shoots shit.  That's it.

When people get all worked up over the details of this weapon over that weapon and whether or not he put his thumb here or held this weapon that way there, or made some comment they didn't like - they're missing the whole point.

And he's a hell of a nice guy in person, too. I bump Into him at gun shows here in TN and he's almost always willing to gab about guns and ammo for as long as you want. He borrowed one of my guns for a series of videos last year and kept it for a month or so, and the videos turned out great. Contrary to what he said in one, he DID return it to me.

A good guy and asset to the shooting community.

I thought he was a school teacher.

And any "gun review" you see any place in nothing but an opinion.

I like his reviews because he is not trying to sell every thing or he does not bad mouth this guys stuff to sell some other guys stuff.

Too much whining here too.

If I had a backyard range like his, I'd be wailin' on some steel as fucktarded as I could every day too.
