Thanks.

[@hankhill5622]

I just got a Colt cowboy SAA as a graduation present, I absolutely love that pistol and almost passed out when my mom and dad handed me the box. I plan on either getting my future son one or handing mine down. I love how each generation of yours has one. That’s truly a special thing! I keep mine next to my Henry long ranger. Two of my most prized possessions. 🇺🇸

[@sanfordhoffman2392]

I don't want to dwell on the negative but I can't believe there are people out there that didn't like this video. A very heartwarming gesture of you purchasing these very fine firearms for your son and grandson. Not only not liking it, but having the nerve to plop their ignorant finger down onto the thumbs down button. It's jawdropping.

What a great idea Hickok. You are going to be the coolest grandpa ever.

[@hickok45]

Thanks, but being "cool" has never been a priority of mine, to say the least. In fact, I take pride in being "uncool." Maybe that's why my friends are "uncool" and weird like ME! :-)

[@joefair4139]

hickok45 I meant in your grandsons eye's, you will be. Not that you are trying to be cool. But when little Davey grows up he is going to remember his grandfather as the one to think of something like this. And what a cool memory it will be. Merry Christmas Hickok

[@chrismc410]

Our family has multi-generational weapons. My late paternal grandfather had a Colt .44-40 he owned and carried all his life. My oldest paternal uncle has it now. My father gave me his S&W Model 10-6 when i left home at 18, now 41. He's since bought a new one, a 10-14. When my nephew is old enough, my 1971 Walther P1, with hexagonal pin and improved slide, will go to him

[@defenstrator4660]

"Let's do the cowboy." Hits red plate. "Got it, somewhere." Subtle focusing onto the swinging red plate.

[@Mrgunsngear]

Man that is awesome! Beautiful guns

[@shanlon76]

yah that is awesome

[@logitechrevue]

Congratulations on the beautiful Colts. As impressive as they are, It is even more touching that they are sure to be cherished by your family for generations to come. While I thought that it would be hard to top John's "birthday" gun, you may have just done so. The beauty of the situation is that there is no need to contemplate which is more special. You seem to be passing along the love of firearms with the family while building lifelong memories. I am sure that years down the road family will be seeing Hickok45 and the memories of him as the true beauty of these. They will truly be priceless.

Some day it would be amazing to see all three of you shot at the same time! And Hickok 45 sir I do have a bib on drooling, but in heaven seeing this video. Thanks for sharing Sir

[@andrewfyakim525]

Hi Hickok... Every time I have "commented" I always start with, " I have never seen ANYONE who can shoot such a variety of guns, as well as you can"... You are an inspiration....... With the purchase of these Colts, you have created an amazing family legacy; I know your son and grandson will cherish these guns for their life time; and their sons and grandsons. I love Colts. I have only one Colt in my collection (a 1974 Colt Huntsman), but that one Colt is my prized position... just because it is a Colt. I have a few dozen other firearms of various types, calibers, etc....And I love them all, for various reasons. But the Colt is now, and will always be my favorite... I had stopped shooting it a few years ago (it's about as hard to clean/ re-assemble as a RugerI) but you have inspired me to get it out of the case, and shoot the bee-gee-bees out of it.... Thank you for all the vidoes; I may have the record, for watching the most Hickok45 vidoes of anyone on earth.

[@steveb1972]

That's wonderful! Lots of love to little Davey and his Mum! He's sure got a fantastic Grandpa. Huge cheers to Colt for their ability to help you make these beautiful firearms happen. 👍🏻

[@michaelharold1366]

This is a real special video, and I’m very happy for you and your family. The passion being passed down to generations.

If I don't get one of those before I die, I will have failed at life.

I agree. Please don't be a miserable failure and start saving up! :-) Sounds like a good bumper sticker: "Own a Colt .45 or you've failed at life!"

[@shadowanddarkness]

Wow, looks like you uploaded this video just as I was in the market for one of these! Incredible timing! Happy holidays Hickok!

[@adamflight1]

Hello Mr. Hickok45, Merry Christmas! After having watched your channel for 8 years. I finally had the chance to drive through your great state of Tennessee. I saw the sign 4 Buds Gun Shop and took the opportunity to stop in and take a look. They have amazing prices. Much better priced than I would have paid back in the West. Picked up a Sig P320, a Walther PPQ M2 and a SD mod 2. Thanks for the tips and awesome videos. The folks at Buds Gun Shop are great to work with. Life IS good

[@Valor_73737]

About 70 years ago when I was 10-11 my dad taught me to shoot with a Colt SAA. I later acquired my own made in 1904 chambered to .38-40 with 4 1/2" barrel. It had been carried by a long time OR sheriff. Bluing and case hardening had faded away, but the gun is still tight and accurate. I carried that gun until the mid 1980s when I semi-retired it. Reason: I learned how valuable it had become. I contacted Colt custom shop and ordered a SAA with 4 3/4" barrel in .45 LC. I did have one custom feature, it has a brass grip frame. Makes it very distinctive. It has been my primary carry to this day. I have owned several other handguns, but have never found anything with the "pointability" of the SAA.

[@ericn7677]

Thank you Hickok and Son for presenting such a memorable event in your family history. Congratulations to you John and also to you Greg. I certainly hope to see the first time Davy is out on the range getting his first shooting lesson from Dad and Grandpa. A year old, I'm counting the days. Wait, this was posted almost 2 years ago. I better go find the video of Davy's first shots. Ha ha Such a wonderful gift and legacy. I was trying to imagine John's ear to ear grin when he found out what Papa Hickok had up his sleeve. Probably a close second to when his son was born. Hopefully these fine firearms will last many generations in the Hickok household. That was pretty slick how you found an excuse to get another Colt SAA. Mrs. Hickok certainly couldn't say no to that one. The Ermey earplug trick caught me by surprise. Just happened that way or was it another Hickok scheme. Rest in Peace Mr. Ermey.

Crappie Gamer mgs3 reference

[@antthomas7916]

@@duxnihilo I think that's from MGS5, not 3.

[@duxnihilo]

@@antthomas7916 Well... * breathes in heavily * In MGS3, Naked Snake criticises Ocelot for having an engraved revolver which he considered frivolous. Ocelot grew to admire him and would constantly change his guns almost as if he wanted to please Snake - even his choice of gun being a revolver was a recommendation from Snake. Ocelot used to use a Makarov, which is a semi-automatic pistol but changed after Snake pointed out his tendency to twist his elbow to absorb recoil would better suit a revolver. By the time MGS5 happens, Ocelot had already embraced the revolver and he, in turn, made the same commentary about engravings offering no tactical advantage to a random DD soldier, as a nod to what had happened in MGS3. So, what happened in MGS5 was a reference to MGS3. :) Also, Ocelot's entire personality was shaped by Big Boss/Naked Snake. He went from using one pistol to three revolvers, to finally one revolver because of his repeated failure to best Snake in combat. ... I need a life, don't I?

[@gibsonmcintosh2036]

Hey Hickok45, loved this video!! Congratulations to you and John, and to Davy on his first gun being a Colt :) When you get a Colt SAA, do you have any action work done on them by yourself or a gunsmith? Have you ever had any of them sighted in for windage by turning the barrel? I have also heard some people have the forcing cone re-cut to 11 degrees to tighten groups. Judging from how well you shoot, you probably don't need to do any of that, but just wondering. Thanks again for the awesome video! With the stag grips you now truly have a Marshall Dillon Colt :)

[@hickok45]

I have smoothed up actions before with a stone kit I've bought from Peacemaker Specialists. I don't know if they still sell those or not. These don't seem to need it. Some of the late 2nd Gen Colts and early 3rd Gen Colts had rough actions. Yep, now I'm Matt Dillon in my fantasies, for sure. :-)

[@rasmichael]

I can't wait to pass this set of guns (my rifle, my shotgun, my 22) down to my kid, if I ever have one. And if I don't, they'll get passed down to some young buck that deserves them. That's what makes firearms special, just like my guitars and my tools. Thanks for carrying on the tradition.
