When you listen to hickok45 you will sometimes hear him say that the gun doesn’t fit his hand right and most of the time he says it’s him. Well his problem is he is a very big man, now wonder with those big claws anything fits his hand, but the man can shoot. So here’s the answer of how tall hickok really is and one more fun video also. Still in the back of my mind muggsy is taller :p

And the second video is about spring time and lawn mowers

Muggsy is only 5'6" in his stocking feet and weighs 205 pounds. He has hands like a little girl, but don't mess with him. He got to be an old man by not fokking with any old men, except for Jocko. Muggsy has been described as a fire plug with glasses. In my prime I was 5'8" and weighed 150 pounds.

Crap, I used to be 5' 9" but lost an inch somewhere now at 47 yrs old. Don't wanna lose another. But the prime weight hasn't changed much. Played football in college at 200 lbs and never did stop hitting the weights, 205 presently.
Waistline has changed some, the body just more liberally allocates resources is all. Improving my center of gravity. 😉

In one of his videos I think he says he's 6'8". Yeah, his thumbs always crack me up. They're like big paddles, as long as my index fingers.

I always felt that I was about the right size. My head didn't hit the ceiling and my feet touched the floor. What I lacked in size I made up for in ferocity. I was once referred to as a Pit Yorkie. ;)

I grew up as the shortest male in the extended family. I reached 5'11" but now at 70 years of age I'm 5'10". My younger brothers (they're twins) used to be 6'6" and 6'7" but they have also over the years lost an inch or so in height. Dad was tall for his time, 6'3" I think, but my Mom was short.

Gravity sucks... in old age. I used to be 5' 8" and as I approach 69 in June, my height is now almost down to 5' 7". My weight is better though... just 152 or so and I can fit into all of my old uniforms and flight suits.
Wifey and I just participated in our last gun show... maybe... and we see all kinds and sizes of people. I swear... a few people are so danged tall... approaching 7+ feet.
Quite a few guys are like "planets" with legs and it's amazing how much those guys have packed around their waists. People watching is one of the "fun" things at the shows.

My life's goal was to reach 5'6" so I could be a cop. Stretching my neck I made it but then found out you had to hear too???
Now with high mileage I'm probably at about 4'4", somethings shrinking fo sho, or might be a sit alot, that could be it.
Still wiry though and a few teeth left, not many but some.

Serious shame about former height requirements. I can understand wanting to man a tall and imposing police department but out of the 10 best cops I've ever known with the NYPD, half are shorter than me at 5' 8". I mean some truly talented and fearless officers.
One being female who happens to be my sister-in-law. Worked with her briefly at the precinct where she displayed uncanny senses and street smarts. She ultimately transferred to the narcotics unit and volunteered to be a buyer in some of the toughest neighborhoods in Manhattan North and then the Bronx. It takes some kind of brave to do that as a female. She doesn't talk about it at all now in her retirement, I pray that the things I'd always feared didn't happen to her.

I tried to be a cop. Thought I had the right temperament for the job. Missed the height requirement by one inch. Ten year later they were hiring women half my size. There ain't no justice in this world. Can't you just picture me wielding a nightstick at some liberal protest. Pass the tear gas. Ah, the good life. :D

I'm only 5'11'', but my mother used to tell me that if they hadn't turned up so much on the bottom, I'd be 6'6''.

That was exactly me my rookie and 2nd year on the job.
Summer of '91 was the Crown Heights riots and the summer of '92, the Washington Heights riots.
Rioting was all the rage back then as it was not too long after the L.A. riots.
Anyway, that was some of the craziest, unbelievable, dangerous and phenomenal stuff I'd ever experience in my career. I mean, stuff like you see in movies. Incredible. Scary yet strangely invigorating.

I have two bigger brothers. One older, one younger but both taller at 6-6 and 6-9. I am a piddling 6-4. My wife says she got the runt of the litter.
I figger I am the perfect height. My feet just touch the ground.

Both my older brothers and father were 5'8". I made it to 6'1" in 8th grade and never grew another millimeter. In high school I played basketball against a 7 ft. center. We practiced shooting over defense with tennis rackets. Of course, in those days a 7 footer couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time and dunking was illegal because it broke too many glass backboards. Now apparently I'm shrinking in several places:mad: including down to an even 6 ft. But my ears are still growing! There's something entirely wrong here.
