Colt Frontier Six Shooter 

In my rambling I was not thinking about .44 Russian and .44 American cartridges that did exist - forgot for a moment that they were also in Centerfire.

My grandpa recently passed away and me and him used to watch your videos Hickok. And surprisingly in his will he left me his guns which included a Hawkins 50 cal, browning lever 22, savage 22, a colt bunt-line special and finally, two golden colt frontiers scouts...... Once I get the bunt-line fixed I'd gladly send it your way to borrow for a quick video....

conceled carry - You fire one blackpowder shot and youre pretty much conceled.

Old, classic firearms like this that will never ever go out of style always amaze me. I can't think of any other product off the top of my head that is still manufactured to this day, by the same company, 100+ years later, that is essentially identical to what it was in 1887 and still you can buy one in 2017. Firearms are amazing and people who can't appreciate that are really missing out.

The Colt Single Action Army. The greatest handgun ever made. Six shots, more than enough to kill anything that moves

Hickok using aim-bot as always...

There's no other hand gun that has as much class as a real Colt SAA, period!

imagine how hard combat must have been back in the old west you: **rapidly firing the gun and coughing hard** some bandit dude: “watch out! There’s a guy over there!” other bandit dude: “what guy?”

I love six shooters. Seriously! Good sound, Good looking, Perfect ammo type, And best firing power

This show is literally the 2a equivalent of watching food reviews

What are the odds that you happen to upload a video of my favorite handgun... on my birthday? Thank you for the unintended present, sir!

Camera man did him dirty by zooming in on his shoes haha 😂

Nothing is cooler than the Colt SAA. Close second, the 1911.

It finally struck me. All of these western movies over the years and I've come to realize that Sam Elliot has modeling all of his acting after a real-life person. Hickok45!

you should dual wield those

How can people be anti-gun looking at that Beauty.

That zoom-in on the shoes cracked me up John lol

You're a great teacher, hickok. I really like the history videos you do. Your US military rifle history video always comes to mind. Your gun reviews are one of (if not the) best on RU-vid, but these types of videos are why I keep coming back. Great work, gentlemen!

Nostalgia is felt as I watch these. My dad has gone downhill health wise and mentally and I really miss all the fun we had at the gun range, gun shows and taking our guns apart to clean and adjust trigger pull or whatever. I miss those days. I'm a small, single woman so I really want to get back into guns like when I was young for protection. Thank you again for these videos, you're changing people's lives even 5 years later.

The son of a friend of mine accidentally killed himself via accidental discharge of a firearm. This goes without saying but everyone please practice safe gun use. Know your firearm. Know yourself. Be safe.

Never understand how anyone could thumb Hickok down. I love watching hickok, especially when feeling low. Thx to him and John.

A real pleasure to watch such a grand antique shooting. Oh and the gun was good too! Lol Sorry terrible joke. Seriously it was wonderful to see and be educated. Thank you Sir. Oh and you talking about the grand old NRA and looking at the whole of the good work they do rather than a few who are putting it into not such a good light. Well said.

I have a stag handle Bowie knife. You're right, the stag just looks so nice.

I love the random zoom-in on hickcok's shoes hahaha

Geez I love that old Colt, what an impressive example with incredible grips, fully functional. I've seen most your guns but that one speaks 'Old West' to me. What a treasure you have there.

A classic shooting a classic. Love the Colt Single Actions.

What bugs is that 44 people did not like this video. What is wrong with you? This is the history of firearms. Why would you even be on this channel to dislike this post. Life Is Good with H45

Glorious. Well as for concealed carry. Shoot it once, you're pretty well concealed allright.

Clean or dirty it doesn't matter that's one beautiful piece of American history. Thank you for showing it to us and shooting for us.

Omg when he zoomes in on his sneakers hahaha John is a savage

This was mighty educational after playing Red Dead 2

Talking about ballistol: "I dont drink the stuff" A rose by any other name, as my buddy bill used to say when he wrote plays... I love this guy.

44-40 Colt Frontier Six Shooter! I cannot be more effusive in my praise for this hickock45 episode! From the black powder handloads, to the wood handled gunsmith screwdriver and 1873 Winchester on the table, to the Colt Peacemaker logo on his cap! Not to mention the thick grey clouds of black powder smokiness from the exquisite, ivory gripped first gen. Colt 44-40, Mr. Hickock has done it again; and "well told!" Thanks hickock45! He even mentioned the great Mike Venturino; whom I blame for my 44-40 fondness!

Beautiful reminds me of the gun called lucky from fallout new vegas

8:59 "You look at your full body of work whether it's your business, your family, your church,..." That's wisdom, Hickok! Thanks for your great advice in your videos.

Amazing how old that is. I like the look of the cracked ivory on the bottom of the grip

When I was younger I watched "Django: Unchained" with my dad and really liked it, later I started watching older spaghetti westerns like "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" as well as "Wanted: Dead Or Alive" and whatnot. I still watch old Westerns and newer ones too but I've noticed how beautiful the guns were, I especially like the Colt 1851 Navy Revolver as well as peacemakers and stuff. I own a .45 Colt SAA and it is such a good gun.

Ya gotta love hickcok and his early uploads!

Who got this in there feed after red dead redemption 2? Lol

I wish i had a dad and a grampa as cool as hickok

That old colt is just an amazing piece of Americana, supreme craftsmanship. That thing has been used hard and it's just broke in good. The worn smooth patina is a thing of beauty.

"Lets go ahead and smoke some pot" boom, obliterates the plant pot! You just earned a new subscriber sir

Some very nice looking guns from back in the day when it was important to have your pistol shoot the same cartridge as your rifle.Another great video,I always learn something when I"m here.I remember talking to an old cowboy that was in the same old folks home as my grandpa.This gentleman,who's name was Slim, used to drive cattle up from Montana into the Caribou Country of British Columbia.He said one time when riding through Kelowna his horse reared up at a rattlesnake coiled on the trail.He pulled this exact same type of gun and tried shooting the snake.He said it took all 5 rounds but he did eventually shoot it.He was an extremely interesting man who had seen much in his day.I wish I had spent more time with him and had written his stories down.

I wonder how many missed the throw away joke about "laminate trees" three minutes in? You'd make a great stand up comedian Hickock, and if you'd been my teacher back when I was a kid I'd definitely have paid more attention at school!

11:22 "lets go ahead and smoke some pot" this dude is awesome, God bless you and your family, for having such great humor!

Looks like johns cattle man revolve to me. Looks like it was passed on to you to inherit its glory

The Zoom in on the New Balance pair is just pure gold footage.

Love the fact that it come with it's own smokescreen...................

I'm a Brazillian, and i have a Winchester mod 1892, serial number made 1896 in perfect condition and documents . I love Winchester. Your videos is very good!

Awesome way to start a saturday morning!!

I love the close up shot of the newbalances

Classic cowboy gun, love the cowboy movie's but not as much as this channel....

I liked being able to see the little puffs of smoke out each side of the cylinder to the forcing cone. I also enjoy black powder.

It makes me sad that there are people turning in old guns like this to get cut up and discarded with all the historical value destroyed.

One thing they don’t show in a lot of western films, all the smoke! Beautiful Colts!

'One of the laminate trees we grow here on the place' lol

My uncle got me an Uberti .44-40 with both of our nicknames engraved on the handle. “Big Jake” on the side and “Bubba” on the bottom. Love these old 6 shooters.

*zooms in on sneakers* haha xD

I am Colombian but I see and enjoy your videos very much. The way you take us through the history and the expoerience of handleling the guns and ammo its all amazing and it feels like a cool hobby, even more so when you are aware of how people have divided opinnions about guns but you lets us know that the channel is not a bout dividing but learning. Thank you

I love the groove down the back that makes up the rear sight. something about it is really just eye catching and unique. but the gun is really beautiful.

Man I wish I could shoot with you. You really care about the history and little details of the firearm, I feel like I could learn so much.

Hickock,44 s&w russian invented in 1870.I love 44 cal! Thanks for the excellent videos and support of NRA ( Iam life member)..Have a wonderful day.

I like your guns. My Dad's Colt 22 pistol nine inch barrel with ivory grip's and nine shot he left it to me. I really like it. I can remember carrying it when I was younger and going to the gun range. My mother got it out of the safe in 2016 and gave it to me. Keep up the great videos

The Ivory on those handles is worth a lot just by itself! Nice gun!

For outlaws and lawmen both, the convenience of being able to carry both pistol and rifle chambered for the same 44-40 round was huge. Jesse James carried his Winchester and his Smith and Wesson 44-40 combo. Brother Frank carried his Winchester in tandem with his Remington model 1875 chambered in 44-40. Colt had the Frontier Six Shooter in 44-40. For "long riders" the ability to use one caliber of ammunition was a miracle of technology.

The unload action is amazing 😂

That is the most beautiful 6 shooter I have ever seen. To think that that level of craftsmanship, innovation and beauty was achieveable in 1886 on the frontier is wonderful. Gives me a real sense of nostalgia even though I was not alive then...

I really like the knives on the table, where could I get some like them

Reloaded 44/40 in black powder with my grandpa in the 80s. We shot his 4 inch Colt and had a blast. No one knew where the rounds were going. The barn wasn't in danger. Now I could make the round work. It was really fun. He let me make mistakes that I understand now. Thank you Rex.

Love the stag grips.

They should do a video where they pick up a ton of casings and see how many caliber a they find :)

Hey Hickok, can you do a Taurus PT92 video? Maybe a PT92 vs 92fs video?

My grandpa came from ,Texas Pasadena this fascinates me, thank you🤠

Now that's a fine peace of American history right there.

Today that quarter's worth ~$350. Only 5,886 were minted compared to 1.85 billion in 2018. Love seeing it integrated into that handle!

God Bless hickok45 and God Bless the 2ndA

At 10:31.. 'and just by the way..' hahah i love these videos

ITS HIGH NOON!

E' sempre un grande piacere vedere una Colt SA all' opera. per me resta ancora oggi la piu' bella pistola mai inventata, grazie anche alla sua semplicita' costruttiva.

Beautiful revolvers!!

Hickok, your videos educate me, bring me joy and entertain me all day, I love them! Keep up the amazing videos!

So beautiful, a 100+ year old single action colt. Love it. I have some uburti colt clones. but not the same as this beauty.

Dang that opening shot of the pistols and knives is just a thing of beauty. Fantastic collection

Be prepared to see far west weapons reviews everyday after Red Dead Redemption 2 release.

You are a genius genius professor who looks at everything intelligent

"I don't remember what my sons name is. John or something like that."

Thank you so very much for sharing your Colt. I love BP and had grown tired of always seeking Colts with the 5 inch barrel get all the attention. This was real treat. Thanks again!

"It's written on the barrel and i can barrel-y see it"

What a beautiful piece of history.

i love when he say "lets smoke some pot" lmaooo

That pelt came from the "I like guns" song guy? Cool!!

Buffalo skin would've been better hickok. Not to be picky of course. :-)

Stag grips are beautiful but you have to take care of them or they'll develop cracks like that one has. Clean them in mineral oil and put a coat of renaissance wax.

haha "let's go and smoke some pot"... :D

Since you mentioned "experts" I thought it may be necessary to describe the term. An "ex" is a "has-been" and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure. Therefore, an expert is a has-been drip under pressure. I have never heard of a '94 Winchester chambered in handgun length cartridges. It was made for the .30/30 and the .32 Winchester Special. The Marlin 336 competition for it also came in the rimless .35 Remington. My M336 is chambered for .219 Zipper, which I also believe was available in the M94. Some time ago, during the last century, I bought an Italian made copy of the 1873 Colt. The only ammo I could find for it then was made by Winchester and it's recoil was very light. I thought they were loading it down because of the cast iron frame guns that are still around. I checked out the loading manuals to see what black powder loads were appropriate for the .45 Long Colt, loaded some up and went to the range. Besides the fact that I had to wait until the smoke cleared to see what I hit, I noticed that the noise and the recoil were greater than the factory loads. So I assumed that the factory loads were drastically underloaded, and that mild smokeless handloads may be safe in older revolvers. But BE CAREFUL. Now that I have a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible, I have found that hotter jacketed hollow point factory rounds are available. I have a couple of changes in mind for my old clone. Since the 1851, 1860, 1861 & 1873 have a lot of parts that are interchangeable, the longer 1860 grip assembly would help to give me something to hold on to. The other change involves adding an adjustable rear sight. I have seen Dixie Gun Works sells a sight that dovetails into the frame, and S&W K-Frame sights have also been put on SAA's (I think Elmer Keith did that.) Since I am not yet that experienced with my mini mill, that I think that I will start with the grip project.

“Something like John maybe”

Thank you for having exceptional microphones
