Since recording this Sunday Shoot-a-Round, I measured the barrel on this new Shiloh Sharps. Sure enough, I was wrong, or the seller was wrong. The barrel is not 32" long; it's 28" long. This makes sense, because when I handled it at the gun show, it just felt lighter and handier enough that I found it quite attractive.

[@stevez340]

I have read so many conflicting articles on there being no benefit to using +P ammo in a short barreled revolver, so I was just wondering what your experience has been?

[@GlockPerfectionDawg]

Wife and I did the Washington DC mint when Trump shutdown the government a few years back. Everything was deserted so it was first class treatment and everyone was willing to chat 😂

[@kennethkeefer9080]

Loving the Sharps

[@hunterepperson-iv5mx]

did you ever do a video on the saiga 12?

[@Judge102]

​@stevez340 hello sir. Theres a guy here on KZbin that tests a lot of ammo daily. His channel name is Tools and Targets. He does a good bit of tests on revolver rounds using a short or snub nose and the a 4 inch for example. He does a great job and has proven a lot to me on a lot of different ammo.

[@waynemilles366]

Coffee and and Sunday morning video, a good start to the day.

When I 1st started my "gun" journey, I purchased a Rugar 10/22 stainless. Sunday mornings, I would go to a LOCAL restaurant ( I live in a tourist destination) and eat breakfast at 7am. Then, on to the local county gun range. 50 +/- rounds of 22 and back home by a little after 10 am. Great way to start the day. May be i could get Hickock 45 on . I might need to go get some breakfast!

[@eb1684]

Don't you read the paper first?

[@Steelcurtain75]

In my first 74 years of life, owned no firearms. Since October 2023, purchased eight. Totally addicted. For my birthday next week, I am going to get the Kimber K6XS because the professor likes it.

[@tolpacourt]

I'm about 10 years younger than you and I get it. I don't feel like I'm able to defend myself without weapons anymore.

[@biblestudies5587]

I'm on the same level as you guys. In my seventies and now, I'm enjoying firearms. Wow, what a hobby, I love it.

[@OrdinProds]

Nice. I never really drank much most of my life, but since watching a bunch of channels on social media, I just can't get enough of the stuff! Never felt better too. I just don't feel like I can go anywhere without a drink anymore 👏

[@mk.1175]

I started at 17, now 55

[@joeyleone2236]

Mr .45. Me and all my friends love you. Thanks for being such a swell guy. Thanks for letting us share your content. Thanks for the work you do.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

I love hearing the chuckle hickock makes, Everytime he pulls the first round.

[@RamPatriot]

Amazed me that after all these years/rounds he still enjoys it so much he giggles at results.

[@johncornell3665]

So cool to meet Mrs Glock. What an honor. Pretty cool. Thanks for recounting your experience at Shot Show. Great Sunday morning. Thanks Hickok!

[@happydog4929]

HEY!🏜 from Kentucky

[@hooty465]

@Hickok45 good morning sir, glad to be able to enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee and watch my internet shooting companion on a cold New England Sunday morning.

[@SuperGTO2010]

God Bless You, sir

[@larrycampbell4764]

Good Sunday morning

[@MarvinTurner-oc4ml]

It really is an addiction. I sat down the first week of January and made a list of all the guns I bought in 2024. I was aghast when I totaled up the prices and realized I had spent far more than I thought I had. And if I could get my hands on a .45-70 like that I'd buy it in a New York minute. I did not get a Kimber but I did add to my snubbie collection. It's a fun addiction, and Life is good. 😀

[@gilgilbow5141]

It's not hoarding if it's firearms. 😊

[@erikstricker8316]

31:40 I could not agree more...enjoy old world craftsmanship while it is still here. Nothing will replace the character of hand-fitted walnut & blue steel.

[@jamesbell8496]

Good morning, folks. One week closer to spring and summer.

[@TomKappeln]

Can't wait ❤

[@happydog4929]

YES!!!

[@patrickgriffitt6551]

I live in Arizona not in a great hurry for summer to arrive

[@TomKappeln]

@@patrickgriffitt6551 : If I had to live in AZ, I would live half a year under the earth ...🥵

[@jodileslie6867]

Great start to my Sunday! Thank you.

[@Steve-1955]

Good Morning from Mile 887 on the Mississippi 👍😎👍

[@txoilfield]

I inherited a J-frame 640 from my dad when he passed. It has become one of my go-to concealed pieces especially in warm, shorts and T shirt weather.

[@AllAboutSurvival]

The Kimber K6s has such a smooth trigger, perfect for those relaxed sessions. Can't wait to see more of the Shiloh Sharps in action-it's a beauty!

[@CeeAndBee21]

agreed about driving thru the Deseret. there is nothing quite like it. i miss living out in that part of the country. Up in New Hampshire now. Great 2A laws up here though so cant complain!!

[@docholiday5872]

Hey Chris from Memphis, Thanks for keeping Hickok45 rolling down the highway. 👏

[@GLOCKBOY26]

Hickock we will NEVER hate you. I have also worked for 50 years and am fortunate enough to acquire some firearms I have always wanted. Recently a S&W Model 41.. Its so sweet. Keep going...

[@bradstairhime3228]

Aren't we so very lucky to live in this country? Some Americans think they have to visit foreign places just to say they "did it", when there are so many stunning places they've not visited in this beautiful country!!!

[@hickok45]

Good point. I can't imagine getting all that excited about going to Europe or China or Australia if I've yet to visit New York City, New Orleans, San Francisco, Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon, Tombstone, Southern California, Lake Tahoe, the Smoky Mountains, the Rocky Mountains, Gettysburg, etc.

[@edwardgarcia614]

So nice that you and your wife could spend some fun time and travel together. Blessings to you and your loved ones. ;o)

[@thatguy-px9iy]

Couldn't agree more about branching out with your firearm interests. I love my "black rifles", but my 1873 Winchester clone has to be my favorite rifle to shoot. Keep up the great work, Hickok 👍

[@DavidLyle65535]

Definitely didn’t bore us. Ordered a 642 while I was watching. First revolver in my safe in 25 years. Thanks for the reminder. Looked at a C Sharps. Gotta save for that one. Or sell something. Like I say, gotta save.

[@donhamm8740]

Very nice Sharps. Sunday morning coffee with Hickok

[@sugarray320]

Lost my dad this past week . Best shooter i ever seen. Old timer . Knew every cartridge , the history, etc . I would call him about every gun I bought , I would pick his brain about calibers and their history and hickok45, paul harrell 🕊, and ron spomer are my go too for all of that now. God bless yall

[@ElectricArrowRifle]

I had the opportunity to drive across America back in the 90s. I'll never forget seeing the sun breaking over the Rockies, or setting behind them from Colorado Springs. It's like another planet compared to the north east.

[@johnnysager8899]

Morning and don't comment much on the channel. Been watching your channel for years and always appreciate the information you provide and the positive attitude you always have! Great way to start my sunday's and looking forward to many more sunday's watching your channel and appreciate you for what you do for everyone and the advice you try to give to the younger people.. In my 60's now and have always respected Our 2nd ammendment and Love Our Country.

[@floydjames6418]

Good morning sir and thank you

[@larryolson397]

You and Paul Harrell... Legit legends, both of you! I still go back and watch his videos. As I do yours, sir.

[@rocksteady13]

SundayFundayGunday with Hickock

[@electroforezz3870]

I'm a huge fan of yours, and every video you make makes me feel better, because I see someone who loves what they do. Good health and success to you, hickok45

[@rafaeldominguez5781]

Thanks for being back, Mr. Hickock Howdy from Antelope Valley CA (all high elev. desert)

[@rafaeldominguez5781]

correction: Mr. Hickok

[@fredcarbonetto2715]

Good morning all!💪🏻🇺🇸❤️

[@joelarue4258]

Glad you’re back home safe thanks for sharing your events of your trip. I was waiting to see what you brought back very nice

[@Ja2808R]

Yes the home of James & Paul viewers. Forever love those woods of yours.

[@Bull53]

Happy Sunday Mr. HICKOK!

[@hatchetjack1031]

Now you'll have to do the 990 yard, Sharps "bucket shot", From Quigley Down Under! May need the ladder sight for that! Beautiful rifle Mr. .45! The western desert and the Sharps rifle are made for each other!

[@timsmith9645]

Great video congratulations on getting a new 45-70 rifle and awesome to meet Mrs glock I'd seen that photo and nice 38 thanks for sharing hickok45

[@hatchetjack1031]

Used to drive over the road and would sleep in the desert in Moab and Monument Valley all the time. Sunrise there is incomparable!

[@63Rangeguy]

Good morning Hickok 45! Great Sunday Shoot a round video. Was thinking maybe see if you could get Mrs. Hickok 45 to shoot and do a video on women in the shooting sports. My wife and I both enjoy your program and we both wondered about a show like that. Have a great day and Keep em in the bullseye!

[@darryl0720]

When I was young and single, I spent 75% of my income on guns and ammo. Sadly, the rest of it I just wasted.

[@haroldlm64]

You shoot so well that l don't even pay attention to the misses. Thank God for safe journeys.

[@tracyclaystowell6431]

Love how you just can not resist the .45" bore. Clay

[@robertredden4429]

Spent 2weeks last fall pulling a camper through New Mexico and Colorado coming and going from middle Tennessee was a awesome trip but I was very happy to get home

[@GoldenClays1]

Always interesting spending about an hour with you every Sunday. Fun stuff!

[@claudiuparvulescu2007]

God Bless You,SIR! Life is good ! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🔱⚓🦈⚓🔱🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@apriliaguy4life198]

The wife and I drove from Ohio to the west. We drove 5300 miles in 17 days. Stopped at all the national parks. It was a heck of a good time. I’d recommend everyone to make that trip once in their lifetime.

[@franciskowalsky7574]

Hickok, very entertaining & nice video. Loved to hear about the west & Monument Valley. Need to see it again. I agree it’s beautiful out there. Take Care!

[@bautionti873]

The hickok45 is the best ❤

[@قصيعباس-ر4ك]

May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I have an old original copy from Colt, manufactured in 1897. It does not have a pulley, but rather a long track with a separate ammunition magazine.

[@grumpyoldretiredcop8382]

Hickok, the great State of Nevada thanks you for correcting your pronunciation! The second time is correct, and if I had a dime for every time I heard it pronounced incorrectly I could have retired a second time... lol Glad you had a good time in Carson City, which is my neck of the woods, and elsewhere in the Silver State. Nice to see your Nevada gun purchase, she sure is pretty and shoots good, too. It's always good to see your videos!

[@goodcitizen64]

Thanks abd God bless yall 🙏

[@Wild_Bill57]

I’ve got a K6xs also. Never thought to pocket carry it until you mentioned it. I was gob smacked! I usually AIWB carry, but pocket carry is a great option.

[@mikej3960]

Good morning it sounds like you had a great trip out west. It is a vastly different landscape when compared to anything east of the Mississippi River. Hope it stays that way.

[@johnrawlins1636]

Glad you got back from your trip safely. The sharps rifle is beautiful. Nothing wrong with 45-70. If I were to buy a single shot rifle a Sharps would be a fun gun. Welcome back.

[@ShermanRagland]

Yes, love a good single shot!

[@davidrivero7943]

Hold on loosely but don't let it go ....

[@lightweight1974]

It's not an addiction. It's a passion.

[@DianeStarks-dt8fy]

Its an addicting passion.😂

[@ThomasKoziara]

Traveling to AZ last year, from NC and we stayed at the same hotel in Amarillo. Kids loved the Big Texan.

[@hickok45]

Yeah, in addition to good food, they have a shooting gallery there!

[@philnusbaum1587]

Morning from northern Indiana, thanks for Another great video. I like my Enfields

[@14moldyhamsandwich]

Sunday talk around, great as always

[@Jaxon1776]

A legend shout out to another legend is legendary. RIP Paul

[@donbenson5292]

Great video. Two wheeled where you went. 38 spl is my carry. Carried it the Army too by choice.

[@2ndAmendmentArms]

Life is good 😊 6 more weeks of winter 😢

[@ScottR-ly2ro]

Enjoyed every minute of this.

[@hamspud35]

Glad you enjoyed our great state of Nevada….could you imagine being a Pony Express rider in all of that vastness

[@christianniem844]

I always appreciate your video's and find myself in agreement with you. My go to carry gun is a .38 special because its less likely to fail. When I was younger I didn't appreciate nice wood on a gun I liked the synthetic stocks, but as a got older I found I like wood better. Maybe because I worked as a carpenter for many years, but I recently added a Henry big boy in .357 mag with an amazing walnut stock. I take it camping along with my Ruger gp 100 in .357 so I can shoot the same rounds in both.

[@6dogs729]

Just had a good one myself it just feels good 😂❤

[@ifronnin]

I live in North-Central South Dakota in a 1250 square mile county with 3900 residents, and nearly 20 cows per human. You’re right about the emptiness. It’s foolish to let your gas drop below 1/4 tank. Some places here are 50 miles from the nearest gas station.

[@edcassano7575]

"Well, that's pretty serious" Lol!

[@damo-cbr1000rr]

Life is good❤

[@1958PonyBoy]

I bought a K6xs recently on the advice from a friend. It's a great little snubby and the trigger stages very well. It's not hard to shoot well with it.

[@Peter-qq3io]

Didn’t even know .32 H&R existed until pretty recently. Picked up the new LCR a few weeks back. Love it. Shoots great.

[@gilgilbow5141]

I'm in kansas and have made the drive to Texas so many times, I love the wide open spaces.

[@WillTennessee]

Love this

[@327Federal]

The K6xs is a fantastic Revolver

[@mitchellross2400]

Happy Groundhogs Day! Up here, Staten Island Chuck (NYC) has predicted an early Spring. Punxsutawney Phil (PA) predicted six more weeks of Winter. // Nice Sharps!

Awesome.

Love your new addition. All you need is just one more. Duke45

[@jefferybrown1806]

Brother, if your bills are paid and you have the disposable income I absolutely don't blame you for getting that Sharps. It's a beautiful gun

[@Eirysmsidn]

Wow!!

I love watching your videos

Good morningh from Italy ❤

Ever notice that Clyde sounds different than all the other metal targets? Love my Sunday morning shoot around Hickok!

[@callawayken650]

I just made a trip to Memphis this week. I probably just missed you in Germantown. Darn.

[@silversupplement]

The Kimber revolvers are great. The XS feels and shoots great for me as well.

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

12. STEP PROGRAM Hickok 45? You buy 12 guns, one a month! I love it! Kind Thanks and Lovely Addition! DaveyJO in Lancaster County Pennsylvania

[@myoldfella]

Morning Sir.

[@simonequaranta1268]

I like Hickok45 relating about his trips in the States, wonder if he has ever been to Europe or South America. Needless to say, he will be welcome in both places 😊😉

[@tylermorrison7051]

He's never been to Spain, but he kind of likes the music.

[@earlbaker3996]

👋 watching from Trumbull County, Ohio 🇺🇸 😊

[@johnmartin1531]

Love all the videos

[@MrSperza]

Greetings from Norway🇧🇻

[@tracyclaystowell6431]

He sold you one tire? Boy, here in Ontario, Canada the shops try to talk you into 4. Saying it is illegal to sell one because of size not matching and all the all-wheel drives require the same rolling diameter. Glad to hear you made it back safe. Clay

[@muratcharles9835]

Great looking sunday shooter

[@jackwright9102]

Life is good 😊
