Sunday Shoot -a-Round # 199

[@jjforcebreaker]

Great gun,. love that series. Recent models, when decked out, look absolutely fantastic.

[@Pointblank2U]

"Old Henry" on Amazon Prime is terrific.

I have a Mark II Target that was a gift from my late wife when they first came out. I will cherish them both forever.

Sorry for your loss.

Watching this episode of Sunday shoot around from the hospital my wife and I just had our third son he's a little guy but happy and healthy life is good

[@hickok45]

Congratulations! You might be a "redneck" or a real "gun nut" if you do what I did when John was born. I left the hospital late in the morning and bought him the Remington pump action rifle in .22 LR. He still has it, of course, at age 35. I thought it would be cool to get him a real birthday present, one that was bought on his actual birth day. :-) I've talked about this in videos with that rifle. Remington Model 572.

HICKOK45 FOR PRESIDENT

[@demapples6580]

42:15 Wow Hickok, as a "young person" I really needed this whole talk about the past and regrets, and dwelling on moments that Im ashamed of. Ive had this my entire life, but this made me feel a bit better.

[@stevebaldry7337]

silverado is one of the best modern day westerns and it's from the 80's. some great actors got their start in that movie.

[@jimchambers7548]

Hickok said he can talk all day but we wouldn't want to listen. Truth is the reason I watch is to listen. I've saw or shot the pistol I just like listening. I always learn something when I watch Sunday mornings. I'll be watching as long as Hickok keeps talking about guns and shooting. And Open Range is 1 of my favorite westerns

[@larry3576]

I have a mk 1,two and three and now two mk 4s. I had a Clark trigger put in my mk1 with a two pound trigger pull I love that gun.

[@DjSagSwag]

Go get'em Hickcok!

Coffee and a cake on sunday and watching Hickok45 great start in the day

[@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi]

In my modest view, pie is a better coffee companion. The sweet and sour milieu though. Cake is for ice cream.

You just keep on rambling. We enjoy every minute 😃

[@jeffwilson1217]

Just got back from visiting your fine state! Gaylord Opryland Convention Center was awe inspiring! Just an architectural wonder! Took your advice, and toured the Belmont mansion, and the Belle Meade Plantation. Wow, quite an amazing piece of history...right down to the limestone fencing. Then, going through the slave cabin, and reading the parchments that listed all the many slaves...very humbling!

[@jazzukes]

I love my Ruger Mark IV Hunter which I use for precision pistol matches. Awesome pistol, easy to clean! Anything before the Mark IV is difficult to clean. I’ve changed the trigger to the Volquartsen Accurizer, and have a Bushnell optics. Wow this is precise! I was glad to see you having the Lite. Here in Massachusetts, that gun is not allowed. Also, in Massachusetts, they’re trying to modernize the firearms law, which will make all LTC carriers close to being felons. With the modifications that I made on gun, this will be a problem. Mind you, these new laws do nothing with respect to criminals who don’t follow laws. I may have to move to Tennessee, or stand up and fight.

In the same state as you bro. I am considering west of Mississippi and no further then the Rockies. When Massive Two Shits drives out S&W with Springfield soon to follow, then tries to reduce taxes to keep the remaining businesses, it is getting ridiculous.

I moved to Tennessee from Illinois. Come on down. We have plenty of room in our small town. You can shoot any gun in your own backyard!!

When you said "modernize" I chuckled. No sir. In Massatwoshitts they are trying to outlaw firearms.

[@willwilliam217]

Good Sunday morning, in central Mi in peak leaf color change season. Never owned a mark 4, only ruger’s that I own are a lcp max and security 380. Both are a lot of fun and dependable. During the ammo price gouge of summer 2021 (45 acp $860 per thousand, 9mm $660 per 1000 bulk), I purchased a cz kadet for my shadow 2 and a Taurus TX-22 and bulk 22lr to have range fun less expensively. The Taurus has been dependable and very fun thru 2000 rounds. The cz kadet does not see much range time due to 9mm is more fun to shoot out of it..

[@richardmerrill4036]

It is a treat to see you enjoy all types of firearms. Especially a non-revolver!

[@OldPeopleDriving]

Aww, that paintball gun is really CUTE 😂😂

[@willwilliam217]

I was amazed how much sound deadening the suppressor suppressed. May have to get one for my Taurus tx-22.

[@georgeshambaugh3803]

I have a Mark 1. Ruger doesn't have a record of the SN. They said it was probably a Army training gun. Bull barrel, right hand target grips. Very accurate old gun.

[@cbroz7492]

..friend of mine bought a Mk 1 with a "flaming bomb" on the receiver ..no other markings, just the flaming bomb and serial number..

[@2002jaiden]

I have a stainless Mark II 10" from 1987 and a blued Mark II 10" from 1995. Both tack drivers!! Once you get the tear down and re-assembly down it is very simple. Just have to make sure the hammer strut is in the correct position.

[@pastmaster2000]

They make a add on part that keeps that strut in position. Cost around $10. I bought one for every model i have from # 1 to model # 4.

[@TheWabbit]

I have a mark II, NRA special, the other special part is my wife was in the hospital getting surgery and had my Daughter drive up to the gun store and put it on backorder as a Christmas gift for me. Not only an accurate and fun gun to shoot, after rebates and discounts I ended up paying $149. for it. I've also spent 20-30 minutes trying to reassemble it and have found if it doesn't go together right away, just walk away for a while and come back to put it together later, it usually goes right back together rather quickly.

[@larryblake7554]

My first handgun was MK2 still have it…Christmas present 1984…thousands of rounds have went thru that thing…dirty milk carton Remington ammo back in the 80 s….good times.

Speaking of bad westerns, John Wayne did one set in the 1850s where he’s running around with a Winchester rifle and a peacemaker revolver.

He should show a negative alcohol test before he picks up a firearm.

[@CameronMcCreary]

At 29:16 the bullets hitting the metal sounded like an old steam locomotive's bell ringing as it is coming into the station.

[@wileddan]

I had a Mk1. The barrel was stamped "made in the 200th year of American independance" Authorities in Australia didn't regard it as significent and I believe it was destroyed. I wish I could have saved it. I believe all Ruger firearms made in 1976 had the same marking. In any case it was special to me.

[@corneliuswowbagger]

I bought a Mark I Target across a state line just before the NFA of 1968 was signed. $57.00!

[@ahsuser]

The Ruger Mk IV Lite is my favorite .22 pistol - I make 100 yard shots on the torso (iron sights) 7-8 out of 10 all the time. Superb reliability with all sorts of ammo. The only downside is the magazine springs punk out after a year or so, but they're cheap and easily replaceable.

[@chrissnell2264]

I love mine as well. For me the downside is 10 round mags. That goes way too fast in this lil pistol lol

[@ahsuser]

@@chrissnell2264 Truth - if someone made + size mags that worked, I'd snatch 'em up. 10 goes quick, especially if someone brings a .22 suppressor ..

I concur. Had a Mark 3 22/45, decided to take it apart and try and put it back together. I got it back together with lots of hammering with a 2x4 and a rubber mallet. Soon after sold it to my brother and got myself a Ruger Single 10.

[@EvangeliaMoore]

The sun is shining again unlike yesterday, and the first coffee is tasting good, again, haha. That is a weird and spacey looking pistol that Captain Kirk or William Shatner would have carried in Star Trek. Oh well, the day is nice, and it's still early enough to think of doing something out of the norm, maybe.haha. Going to listen to the rest of your video and your words of wisdom with your amazing outlook towards life in general. Take Care and Be Safe.

[@RicochetRichard]

When Ruger started producing the MarkIV they found that if the safety was placed 1/2 way between Safety and fire they pulled the triger then moved the saftey to fire some of the gun would go off. they made a change to fix this problem and changed the serial no.s to stare with 500. Pre 500s are subject to a recall. Check with Ruger to be sure.

[@christopherorsini9500]

Hickok45 love the channel. I got a Speed Beez loader I take to range to load my Ruger 22s mags quicker. Game changer. Hope all is well

@@Siridar1 What's the difference? Also what's the difference with the 'Target' model?

[@mymicks21]

@@Argedis The Ruger 22/45 has a 1911 style polymer frame. The standard Mark IV has an aluminum or stainless steel frame (model depending) with a steeper grip angle. The target model has a thicker bull barrel opposed to the tapered barrel on the standard model.

We're all a little bit crazy in our own way. I have watched every Sunday shoot around. I randomly sent a comment out into space last year, after my father died. Hickok took the time to respond and leave a very deep and introspective comment. Amazing considering how many followers he has. I can never thank him enough but to keep doing what I'm doing and enjoy his content.

[@nickbolognaesq]

My girlfriend’s dad has a Mark 1 with custom wood grips and I love it.

[@richdoherty64]

I wasn't the most motivated student.😂 Usually slept or was daydreaming through most classes. The thing I hated was, teachers knew I wasn't paying attention to the lessons they were teaching. But, they liked to call me up to the blackboard to answer a question they asked. My answer was always "uhhhhh what's the question". The other kids would laugh and the teacher just had me sit back down. There was one sixth grade English teacher I got along with. I wrote a book report about the S&W model 29. He came over and told me about the Dan Wesson 357mag he had. I thought he was cool and never gave him a problem after that. Only class I got good grades in.

Bought a Ruger MK2 in the early 80's, my first pistol, twice in one month I had two (yes) TWO ND's when attempting to clean it just after I got it, that pistol changed the way I handle firearms, I won't get into the why it happened because if you own a pre MK4 you know why.
