.22 Rimfire plinking with a S&W Model 41 and a vintage nine-shot revolver, a Revelation (made by Hi-Standard) bought at Western Auto back in 1960 by my mother.

its almost amazing how different the range looks after 3 years

@FloridaGuns 12 лет назад

LOVE that you shot the Western Auto Revolver and told it's history....That is priceless and why I shoot. Thank you!

@clybournstreet7680 8 лет назад

Look at how young the compound is...

@TheMrbumpas 13 лет назад

for those who don't know,.22s come in different cartrige lenghts and power levels. shorts ,long,long rifle,shot shells. they are all fun to shoot if you have the proper gun to fire them

@hickok45 15 лет назад

Thanks. Over my 24 years at this location, I've gone through about 10 different shooting table tops, i guess. This one is Cedar, so it should easily last until I'm slinging lead at that great shooting range in the sky! :-)

@dick-parker 4 года назад

hickok45 now it’s been 34 years that’s crazy, I wish the current gun culture was the same when you grew up. It’s so different nowadays

@TheSauce05 12 лет назад

The first handgun I ever fired was a .22 revolver as well. It is an old H&R 6-shot Gunfighter that belonged to my great-grandfather. And I still have it. It's a little rough around the edges, but it still shoots great and accurately. I really enjoy it.

@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929 8 лет назад

in the future the shortage has started to blow over but .22 will probably never be the same price as it used to be. $50 for a box of 500 bulk. Just a few short years ago it was only around 15

@allbrass0019 5 лет назад

I just got an email the other day of 5000 rounds on sale for $199. Crazy how much it's changed.

@matthewcrabtree1561 6 лет назад

My first gun is a High Standard Sport King model 103. It is as accurate as any gun ever made. I bought it Gibson's Discount Center. It was my go to gun of choice until the Glock pistols arrived on the scene. I love the gun still.

@kmorris180 Год назад

A blast from the past. Interesting to see how your videos have changed.

@Gunsforfreedom 12 лет назад

Wow, I have the same revolver, its a High Standard Model 104 made in 1961. I took it out last week and shot over 250 rounds. It never missed a beat.

@hickok45 13 лет назад

@Timespartan111, You won't see (hear) the effect until later in life, when you can't hear anybody. Sounds don't have to hurt your ears at the time to have an effect on your hearing.

@MikeReiner 13 лет назад

I just picked up a Ruger MK II for $250, made in 1988. Took it apart, cleaned it out real good, think I'll take it to the range tomorrow.

@Odood19 4 года назад

Who's watching in 2019 while holding a .22 pistol?

@chrisnelson2373 4 года назад

I love this guy. I inherited my 22 high standard convertible from my paps. I think the wheel is cracked because it won't kill a chicken point blank. But ill keep it till they pry it out of my cold dead hands

And he just tossed the Model 41 magazine down onto the gravel! Those ain't cheap!

@CosmosUnorthodox 11 лет назад

6 months ago .22 LR was EVERYWHERE. You could get it at every FFL dealer even local hardware stores. The average price for a 525 brick of federal was around $20 where I am from.

@hickok45 14 лет назад

I've been using Federal bulk pack lately. The Remington has way too many failures.

@xSGTxSPLATTERx 13 лет назад

I also have a .22 revolver that I would never trade or sell. It's an H&R Model 949 bought by a friend of my dad's back in the 1970's. The friend gave it to me as a late birthday present, and I was extremely happy. It also is chambered for 9 shots, but it's strange. It is double action, but it loads like a single action. I get routine offers of people wanting to buy it when I go plinking, but not as high as your revelation. I get offered $300-400 and I politely decline.

@AtlasJotun 5 лет назад

I love the older videos, when hickok walks downrange he only crunches through gravel, not a sea of spent cases. Look how much of the burn barrel's still intact!

@joshuabessire9169 3 года назад

My wife got a snub nosed hi-standard for self defense. Now I am looking for a long barrel version.

@hickok45 15 лет назад

Thanks. Glad to know I'm providing some entertainment for you all. Any special requests you guys have for shooting videos, pass them along. I'm going to do a couple of AR videos with my short Bushmaster (my deer decoy hunting rifle :-) ) and my 25-year-old Colt A-2. Message me if you can think of anything you'd like me to point out about how they are in real service. Mine have never left the safe confines of my shooting range, where the turkeys and bowling pins rarely shoot back! :-)

@nic1337 2 года назад

Can you show gsg Firefly please ? Thank you

@Kennefo 13 лет назад

I can actually imagine Little Hickok laughing and shooting a car. :) Thanks Mama Hickok for buying the gun so that Hickok Jr. got his first shot out of a handgun. Without that gun, there would be no Hickok45 shooting videos. Thanks, Keep up the good work !!

@hickok45 15 лет назад

Honestly, I know others love them, but I've never had must attraction to conversion kits. I see the .22 as a separate little animal and have never been motivated to make my 1911 or AR-15 a .22 Rimfire. Guess I'm not very typical, though.

@tiggerr42431 13 лет назад

I was taken to a Manitou ditch with Mr. Caine who had a Ruger Security Six and let me shoot at a can in the ditch when I was about 7. I still remember the day. I took a CCW class with a Ruger Mark III with tru glo front sights that were very easy to use. The only thing was it was a bear to clean and put back together and only after finding a You Tube video on how to do it was I able to get it back together. Four of us worked on it until then to no avail. Good shooting. I shoot an HR 9 shot too.

@cutlerylover 15 лет назад

haha, nice! Its funny every single gun guy I ever met had at leats a little interest in knives, and every knife guy I know enjoys a good gun even if they dont shoot regularly or are not really into firearms..

@crackbaby1058 12 лет назад

My first gun I ever fired was a colt diamond back (in .22) great little plinker. I've owned and fired all types of cartridges and firearms but there's still nothing quite like shooting a .22.

@awesomeisian 8 лет назад

Hickok45 please do a buckmark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@jonnporter6081 5 лет назад

That settles it. The 22 caliber is a gateway caliber. It leads to bigger caliber addictions.

@McMuffinV2 10 лет назад

my first shot was actually a 9mm. Enjoyed every minute of it. Love your vids Hickock, take err easy.

@jazzstorie 15 лет назад

Great Videos!!! I've been enjoying them all morning!! You're range is awesome, looks like that took some time. It would be sorta tough for me to do that in my back yard here in Los Angeles. . . haha. That Revelation revolver reminds me of my dad's old Harrington and Richardson. I think it was the first handgun he shot as well, back in the 50s. It was a bit dangerous to shoot though - every now and then the cylinder would crack open at the top. . . haha.

@jburdog 10 лет назад

Hey Hickok45 you said the model 41 will drive nails....Could you do a video of the model 41 driving nails?? Jim

@PalKrammer 5 месяцев назад

Dear Hickok45 - Previously I wondered what your first gun was and whether you still had it. So now we know - thanks!

@michaeldillon9080 8 лет назад

Boy that is really cool that you have your Dad's guns. my Dad and I had a great collection before I went into the Navy but unfortunately I was deployed when he passed and my sister's sold all of the collection, very nice my friend now I'm working on something I can pass. along to my so. and insure he gets them. thanks for making me remember.

@Toyman07 12 лет назад

My pleasure. No need for apology's everyone has at one time been a beginner. Imo go and visit a local gun shop and or range as most are very helpful and most have a basic firearms and or safety course. You can also visit local gun owners forums in your area for more advice and such as they would know more about your area's gun info, laws, where to shoot or etc. When online? I'm sure you know to be aware as there is a lot of misinformation out there, so be careful. Good luck and be safe!

@brentmiller3951 5 лет назад

I love how the burn barrel only has a few holes now in 2019 it is see through

@morelenmir 12 лет назад

That is fascinating stuff toyman! MANY thanks indeed! From what you say I guess you get a trade-off between reliability and ease of shooting with a rimfire rifle. I do apologize once again for posting these basic questions but I am trying very hard to learn as much as I can about firearms and responsible ownership at the moment and am always extremely grateful to get an answer.

@johntoth6375 9 лет назад

Idc who you are. Shooting .22's always makes for a great time.

@Rafael199441 12 лет назад

Thanks, I did not have bullets for Beretta, but I put a smaller caliber and stuck my bushings in the tube, so I had a problem to get it out: D but now I just buy the bullets for Beretta, so I'll have no problem :)

@iroczluvr 10 лет назад

H&R makes a nice 9 shot revolver too. Keep up the good videos, my son and I enjoy them greatly.

@smikee 11 лет назад

just remember he posted this video in 2009 so back then it was easier to get! but still hickok45 can get anything

Glad you found us; welcome aboard. By the way, you'll probably see another .22 Rimfire rifle posted very soon.

Oh that Revolver may be the most valuable thing you own.

@pringals 10 лет назад

Planning on buying the M&P 22 Compact and the M&P AR15-22. Would love to see your review and thoughts on those models. They're highly recommended elsewhere on the webs. ... Love the channel! ... btw, my LGS has had 22 in stock pretty regularly lately. Hopefully the crazy really is almost over this time.

@Blk05titan26 15 лет назад

22 is the most fun you can have at the range without breaking the bank... with todays ammo prices...

Yes, I'm a Spyderco guy.

ya forgot to mention i went out to shoot my new (used but new to me and 95% excellent) h and r .22 model 649 cowboy revolver today. thats what brought me to .22 vids tonight. seeing if you had a vid of one of them.

@MrHeadshot1982 9 лет назад

western auto sold guns until the late 80's. Right up the road from the piggly wiggly. Lol

@sysjls75 8 лет назад

I own several guns which were purchased at Western Tre and Auto. I remember buying guns when I was 15 or 16 YO at various outlets. I was rejected at sale of a BB gun at a "5 and Dime" and went a couple doors down the street and bought a .410 instead.

@SuperTelecom 12 лет назад

Another great video hickok. I wish obtaining handguns was as easy in Australia as it is there. Ive had issues with .22LR Remington ammo too. Lots of misfires in my rifles. I find out of all the "normal" brands, CCI works best for me in .22LR and .22WMR.

@Ballenxj 8 лет назад

I watched you put holes in some of those clay pigeons that didn't shatter or move. Stubborn things. ;-)

@daniel55645 13 лет назад

i like my .22. whenever you wanna go shoot a lot, thats the ways to go since they're so cheap

@DareToBeDeviant 6 лет назад

Amazing how this video has aged, people love it all the same. I'd like .22 a tad more if my GSG didn't jam all the time. Rimfire stacks weird so it doesn't feed perfectly.

@fike301 12 лет назад

Myself like the Ruger Mark II....watched a view videos on assembly, pretty easy.

@aflatminor 10 лет назад

WOW!! Hickok- that was the most interesting 20 minutes i've spent in a long time!! I'd love toy own something like these guns but our government has seen fit to disarm every legal pistol shooter here in Britain whilst the criminals still have their weapons :( I'd love to sell up and move to the USA :)

@baconsauce8429 10 лет назад

You can get a fAC in England, and the only semi-autos we're allowed are .22 LR. Anything bigger is illegal, and handguns have to be of a ridiculous length to be legal.

@rennovattio7818 5 лет назад

Lord knows - I *miss* Western Auto

@TheTruthRocks 12 лет назад

Re: Remington Golden Bullet 22LRRF ammo: I have a Ruger Mk III that will misfire about one out of every magazine. I blamed ammo malfunction. However! In the Beretta U22 Neos, every round pops off. Turns out the Ruger is light-hitting on some shots. I removed the firing pin from the bolt and honed the sides of the pin on a diamond stone (it's stamped from sheet steel), and polished it on 2000-grit paper. Huge improvement. Every round goes like it should.

@playa3232 12 лет назад

I concur about the Remington .22 "golden" ammo, it really has turned into junk. I used to shoot it all the time but not now. Who would have thought Remington ammo would be so poor quality. The good thing is the centerfire stuff is still reliable.

@caktalfraktal 10 лет назад

I agree that a 22 LR may not stop a drugged up intruder bent on harming you, but it can be a good cartridge in most cases if you want to use an actual firearm but also if you want to give the intruder a chance to run away and come out of it alive. I think that it would be a traumatizing event for any of us to actually have to use, say a 12 gauge or comparable round on a human... to the point where you might hesitate the next time if you had to do it repeatedly (like in a SHTF scenario). I'm not very experienced but judging by some ballistics tests, it seems that a 22 LR would do the job at frightening the bad guy but still giving them more of a chance of survival than if they were hit with a larger round. If you have a semi-auto, you can always shoot multiple times.

@whiskeyinthejar24 9 лет назад

If you have a firearm for self defence, you have to be ready to kill. Pretty useless putting a .22LR in someones leg etc.....

@misterhd8988 7 лет назад

.22 rapid fire + intruders face =good enough

@WeekendWarrior604 6 лет назад

shot placement is key

@Dykstra1979 6 лет назад

I like my old plinker single 6 .22. I can place a shot wherever I need to. .22 gets a weak rep but it is just fine in the right hands.

@jamiesloan5902 5 лет назад

caktalfraktal Aiming for the right spot with .22 is important. 2 to the chest, the rest, to the cranium. 22 will shatter any skull on Earth. Period! I don't mean to sound brutal. As I would HATE to have to shoot another human being. Just being honest tho.....

@landocommando8 13 лет назад

Where I grew up the old folks said if you had a .22 pistol & a shotgun you were well armed . That was back when people were REALLY poor & times were hard. You grew it or shot it or you didn't eat. Love your vidieos , keep up the good work.

@rick4544 10 лет назад

Just watched this vid on 10/2/14. Hickok is talking about a .22 shortage back in '09 saying 'seems to be getting back on the market.' damn this never-ending .22 shortage!!!

@51Dss 8 лет назад

sure do remember Western Auto and Revelation firearms! Back in the 60's I used to go into the Western Auto store to gawk and the Bicycles and the Guns! I only bought and used 22 shorts back then...the 22 Longs and Long Rifles were way too expensive!

@leonardpearlman4017 5 лет назад

I just recently realized that .22 shorts were still available! The box is so tiny. I still like them. It's funny to be at a range with this, people are sometimes making a lot of noise, and I'm more in airgun territory. It definitely gets a laugh sometimes. I've never seen a bulk pack of them, maybe a thousand rounds would just be like a quart? Never thought of that until just this moment.

@hickok45 15 лет назад

Wow, I didn't know Western Auto sold them anywhere anymore. Where are you, Alaska, or Texas? Must be a different S&W 41 you see at Walmart. These things are going for around a Grand these days. Not sure what it might be you're seeing at Walmart - it would be interesting if they've reintroduced it in a scaled down model or something, one not so costly.

@hickok45 13 лет назад

@12799MaDeuce , Yep, same gun. High Standard made these for Western Auto under the name Revelation.

@slapchops1 13 лет назад

Hickok I remember western auto here in NH a long time ago. Before I even heard of Wal Mart or Home Depot. Was a little shop next to the Rexall, Ben Franklin, and Trustworthy hardware. Those were the days when things were simple. I'm barely 40 but the world has changed hasn't it and I guess I have an old soul. I really liked your story about your revelation & your dad. You beamed when you were talking and I thought it was real nice. I own the Buckmark urx standard & love it. The grips are unreal.

@crab445Hornet 14 лет назад

Hi ,Hickok, Horto from Australia mate, Great vids, and this 1, of 22 pistols ,.Just wondering, Have you had a go with the Beretta 87T yet?? Great pistol.I love it, bang on target every time............

@tradbowhunter53 12 лет назад

i know im not old enough to own guns but i do alot of with my uncle(dad isnt exactly in the picture) and i also have saved up enought money for guns and gave it to my uncle for him to purchase for me, I dont have alot of guns, three actually, a Ruger M77 in the 7 mag, a Remington 870 youth model in the 20 gauge(used it for sporting clays shooting when it fit me, and a Ruger single six revolver, so a rifle, shotgun, and a pistol, all a 15 year old could want. I just wanted to share my opinion.

@barebarekun161 11 лет назад

Hickok,I want more of the .22 WMR an interesting cartridge,i just want to know more about .22 magnum revolver and i have one? I want to see a .22 mag revolver in action just kinda hype me up before i can shoot it.

@hickok45 14 лет назад

@imjustwonderful , Huh, what did you say? Actually, I don't know about that, but you should almost always use ear protection while shooting.

@hickok45 15 лет назад

Mostly a good guess, but there just seems to be more freedom left in those states!
