I like some of his reviews and he seems to know his stuff, but what really impresses me about Hickok45 is he can shoot! This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPzIisdtS8o&feature=digest) is him putting a lot of rounds downrange at targets from near to far.

It's easy to be a little envious of his range! :D

Yeah, he's a great shot for sure... Former competition shooter and apparently a very down to earth guy.

He also appears to be a genuinely likable guy.

His reviews were favorable to both the Kahr P380 and PM9.

+1 to all of the above! Don't you love that Butler Creek Universal LULA Pistol Loader (http://www.opticsplanet.net/butler-creek-universal-lula-black-pistol-loader.html)? I have one on order.

And doesn't that Springfield Armory XDm-5.25 (http://www.the-m-factor.com/html/home.html) shoot sweet!? You know, I have been looking at 45acp for a full size gun, but that 9mm gun really comes back on target quickly for repeat shots. Plus, it would be using the same ammo as my carry gun. Hmmm.....

I LOVE his backyard range. I'm so jealous. that's my dream. The guy can shoot long range too with the little pistols.

I seen him at the NRA convention here in Pittsburgh and got to thank him for his videos and shake his hand. He is one really, really, big man. I was shocked how big he is. I'd post a pic but my wife forgot to bring the camera that day, she will never live that one down.

He has a very unassuming presence...unlike most of the numbnutz dipstick time-wasters that espouse firearms "expertise" on the Tube....and that appeals to me.

And yes, he can shoot....and it shows.

While watching that video,a thought struck me.If someone knew how to make steel targets the right size so they could tune them,this guy could be a whole bell choir right by himself.That would be waaayy cool.I`ve always enjoyed watching and listening to him.He seems so at ease doing what he does and he`s so casual and self effacing about his considerable skills you can`t help but like him.

his hands are as big as Oprah's butt.

I also like how he doesn't flinch or make excuses when he misses, just keeps shooting. Also, notice how he reloads standard mags. Just pops them in there like nothing, while my fingers hurt and sometimes the mag lips even cut the thumb (that's why I mostly use the Ula). He did use the Ula for those huge mags in the video and without a word.

+1 on all of the above.
I too enjoy his videos. I am sure that most of the manufacturers of the guns that he shoots love him too. He is bound to be responsible for a ton of gun sales. I have noticed that he seems to be getting more T&E guns from leading
makers of late.
BTW, he is a big man 80 inches (6ft. 8 inches) tall.

I was going to mention hickok45 and his Kahr review but looks like he is already general knowledge here. I thoroughly enjoying his videos and his radio show. I check him out everyday and Im a huge fan of his. His range is just awesome and the way he presents himself and the shooting community is secomd to none.

When I was deciding which gun I wanted, I had narrowed it down to the Ruger lc9 and the Kahr pm9. Watching his video comparing the 2 was one of the factors that influenced me to go with the pm9. Definitely made the right choice!! Now have over 800 rounds through it and no problems. :33:

Hickock45 is the reason I bought my Ruger SR22. I love watching his vids.
Man, I wish I had his backyard. No, wait, maybe I don't. I would be unemployed coz I'd be out shooting all the time.

Tinman..little disappointed in you :(. Thought for sure you had an opening with the "hands as big as Oprahs butt" comment. :D

I love watching him hit something that explodes, then belly laugh out loud. You can tell he's having fun, and who wouldn't on that range with that much ammo. Genuinely good fun character to watch. Hitting a gong at 80 yards with a tiny pocket pistol aint easy, but he does it with a good bit of regularity.

That guy is an obnoxious jerk and his shooting is as crappy as his homebuilt range!!










Just kidding, he rules.

The most impressive shots ive seen hickok45 do is hitting a 18" gong with a glock 23 @ 230 yards. If ya havent seen it check it out in his playlist under long range shooting. And the 1911 @ 230 yards

I think he has some pretty impressive footage of long range with a Nano. Come to think of it, pretty much anything he shoots gets the long range treatment. I was especially intrigued by the Mossberg 590 A1 slugfest to the gong.

Maybe we could all email him and suggest a Kahr PM/CW "pocket carry" feature - get em all on video. Sneak the P380 in there too.

Hickok45 is one of my favorites. I like his straight forward approach to evaluating firearms.

He really seems like a down to earth kind of guy. It's really nice to see someone share their knowledge without being a cocky a hole.

Pete take a look on his channel. He has 3 videos on the PM9 directly and he also show's the PM9 in his concealed carry playlist. He has a chapter 1 and 2 on the PM9 and he is in love with the gun. He also has 2 videos I think on the P380 and that is also featured in the concealed section.
