FTF talk with Hickok45 today

[graycrait]

I had a very nice face to face conversation with Hickok45 today. He is a serious Glock guy. He told me that he carries a Glock as a SD gun a lot. I even showed him my red G17 "clown gun". He is a really nice guy. He wanted to know where I got the beavertail extension for my 17L. He said for him, a tall guy with huge hands, that the Gripforce beavertail made the Glock hump nearly disappear giving the Glock so equipped much nicer grip and grip angle.

We mainly talked about what Glock could do to improve grip ergonomics, the beauty of the 1911 trigger, the market potential of the Diamondback DB9 and Kahr pistols.

Lucky... what's a "SD gun"?

[Jon_L]

SD = Self Defense

And that's sweet, Graycrait

Thats awesome that you got to talk to hickok45, he has the best videos on youtube.

[Gophert]

Been watching his vids for a while. Seems to be a pretty humble guy...but he is one of the best shots I've ever seen with a pistol/revolver. Make sure you subscribe to his channel on youtube, best gun info out there!

[ls3_kid]

Cool stuff, this is by far my favorite video of his;

I don't have a 1911...

yet.

I have watched every single video. He knows what he is talking about when it comes to guns. I also like listening to his radio show he does on the weekends.

big fan of hickok. Did you meet him in clarksville? I've always wondered where his farm is, I coulda sworn it was near the franklin area because of certain gunfire I always hear, but this is tennessee after all

I really like watching Hickok on Youtube. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

[TLRMADE]

I ran into him the other day at Hills, asked for a photo....I think he blushed a little. Very nice guy!!!

Haha I have friends in franklin near the arch bridge on hwy96, I always hear gun shots when I'm driving around over there. I wonder if he does live nearer clarksville.

[Gophert]

He's a member here on TGO...maybe he'll show up

[Guest UTVOL87]

I think I have heard him mention on a video that he is from Joelton.

[Louisb]

Radio show weekends? ? ?

When?

What station?

he does a goo job of representing shooters on the tube

[Guest UTVOL87]

Hickok45's radio show is on his YouTube channel, except instead of a video it is just audio with a still image.

I enjoy his videos and is about the only firearms related video series on YouTube I like. He's not a self-absorbed mall ninja like Nutnfancy.

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that...

[Bigiron]

I am also a big fan of hickock45. Also envious of his shooting ability.

[mav]

I enjoy his videos. I actually watched the 30 min clip on Glock and 1911s today. Man, would I love to be able to shoot like that.

[Guest ArmaDeFuego]

I love hickok45's videos. I think he lives somewhere around Pleasantview.

[Guest ArmaDeFuego]

Hahahaha! Yea I watch Nutnfancy videos but sometimes he's....... I dunno..... Yea a self absorbed mall ninja is a pretty good way to describe him.

Nutnfancy is good for a basic overview of the weapons he reviews... but man... that guy is in love with himself and anything tacticool.
