- Firearms you might have owned and carried if you'd been armed up with sidearm, rifle, & shotgun in 1876. There were other viable choices, but these would have been chosen by many; in fact, these are the exact firearms I carried on my person and my horse during most of the 1870's.

I bet clean up on those guns were fun that is my least favorite ammo to shoot love seeing other people shoot it though
hickok45 I'll give you the write up I did on my facebook page for my ancestor 1st Sergeant Joseph R. Weaver: 1st Sgt. Joseph R. Weaver (my 2nd Great Grandfather George Webster Weaver's brother b. 1844 in Highspire PA and d. 1891 at Fort Niobrara, Nebraska.). Enlisted as a Pvt. in the 12th Pennsylvania Cavalry Company E, February 3, 1864 and Promoted to Corporal, July 5, 1865; mustered out with Company, July 20, 1865. Enlisted with the US 6th Cavalry in Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1866 as a Saddler/Corporal. Listed later at Tyler, Texas as 1st Sergeant of Company M of the US "Fightin' Sixth" Cavalry. Served 25 years until his death in 1891 at Fort Niobrara. His Civil War service included these battles or engagements/service in 1864:
Near Winchester February 5, 1864.
Middletown February 6.
Winchester April 26.
Affair in Loudoun County June 9 (Detachment).
Charlestown and Duffield Station June 29, Bolivar Heights July 2.
Near Hillsboro July 15-16. Charlestown July 17.
Snicker's Ferry July 17-18.
Ashby's Gap and Berry's Ford July 19.
Near Kernstown July 23.
Winchester July 24.
Bunker Hill and Martinsburg July 25.
Cherry Run July 28.
Winchester July 29.
Guard and garrison duty at Charlestown, covering railroad from Harper's Ferry to Winchester till March, 1865.
Charlestown September 27, 1864.
Halltown November 12.
Mount Zion Church November 12.
Newtown November 24.
Charlestown November 29 (Detachment).
and these battles or service in 1865:
Affair at Harper's Ferry February 3, 1865 (Detachment).
Scout from Harper's Ferry into Loudoun County March 20-23.
Near Hamilton March 21.
Goose Creek March 23.
Duty at Winchester and in the Shenandoah Valley till July.
Mustered out July 20, 1865.
Later in Texas his duties included (from the US 6th Cav site):
During the period from 1865 to 1871, while the regiment was stationed in Texas, the duties falling to the officers and men were of the most dangerous and varied kinds. After the close of the Rebellion the country was overrun with desperadoes and outlaws who were even worse than the hostile Comanches, and the officers and men were continually called upon to guard the courts of justice, to assist revenue officers, aid in executing convicted criminals, supervise elections, pursue outlaws and murderers, and in general to institute lawful proceedings where anarchy reigned. Many soldiers were assassinated for their devotion to law and order, and nothing but incessant vigilance and unflinching courage, prevented the guerrilla community from running the border counties of the State. The records for this period are very unsatisfactory, and important actions, in the light of to-day, are entirely omitted and remain only as traditions from the generation of war service men, who have almost entirely passed away from the regiment.
He served with the US 6th Cavalry through the Reconstruction and "Outlaw Wars," the Red River War with the Commanche , and the Apache/Sioux War.
Additionally two of his brothers served in the PA Militia called up to protect the North - I think the 201st PA Inf, and many other members of both my father's side (Penn) and my mother's side (NE including Pvt. Francis Edward Brownell - 11th New York Volunteers, the "Fire Zouaves", in April 1861, and was assigned to Company A. Her mother was a Brownell!) served in the Union Army!
I watch your videos with interest and of course later Civil War stuff into the 1870s covered here and up till 1891 when my ancestor passed and was buried at Fort Niobrara ;-)! Keep up the great vids Sir!
P.S. you mentioned the Rev. War - I've got upwards to 50 documented ancestor veterans in that War (still adding them via DNA matches and ancestry records) - and on Mom's early colonial side (from NE) we have French and Indian War vets and earlier conflicts (King Philip's War!). Also War of 1812 on both sides got 'em all covered!
Cheers,
Charlie Weaver
paying for leather wrao on guns like a good boy to maintain weapon conditon
This video has already been demonetized, deemed "unsuitable for most advertisers." Yeah, those firearms of 1876 are pretty scary. :-)
At least back then when you shot, you needed skill, you only had a few shots at a time.
My kid is on a murdering spree with a minigun! Oh no! They saw Batman say no guns now they somehow got a minigun!
To big of a clip Xd
@@JnEricsonx Have you fired a gun?
@@mattw7057 Handled a few antiques, never actually fired. I more refer to the fact that none of these are simply drop the mag and pop in new one type weapons. I have seen how fast some can use a bolt action though, that takes skill.
Life goal:
Find someone that looks at you the way Hickok looks at the colt single action
Wait that's impossible
everyone that looks at me looks at me the way ian looks at zip22 :(

@@gangstafett5499 lol
Wtf is a boss fight? That dont exist in rdr😂 they just gunslingers
@@cubzzz7176 You don't get the joke do you?
I could see you walking the streets in 1876 and fitting right in Hickok. Haha.
"Well would you look at that? Couple a cowboys decided to rob that bank I was about to head into...
Thankfully I remembered to put in my ears this time"
David Ridenour what do you mean he was there in 1876
Hell yeah! Haha
I mean considering he's like 6'9 he'd stand out like an oversized sore thumb.
Glad this channel didnt get shut down by the commies this week.
Very glad to see hickock45 using his old EDC setup again.
love your enthusiasm!!! Shooting and laughing at the same time. You are the same kind of company I keep...
Yeah how is this an old comment
@Peppa Pig Patrons over on our Patreon account (see video descriptions) often get a "Sneak Preview."
Dang it I was trying to go to bed. Of course I have to watch classic firearms for another 30 minutes😴
Same, God Dang it.

DORORO yep
Dororo, do you kiss butt like this at your job too?
Like so many others, loved the “armed in” videos ... los of other good options for this type.
And thanks so much for the gentleman you are!
Thank you for the show and the education! That smoke was beautiful and I could almost smell it!
This is really one of your best videos so far
What did they use as ear plugs?
They just sucked it up.
Keep these “armed” videos coming. I just watched all three back to back to back.
Agreed
Please do the same kind of video for WWI & WWII-era firearms next! I love these historical pieces and this video has the makings of a series!
I bet you enjoyed when they switched over to smokeless powder when you were in school didn't you Hickok ;)
As usual Hickok, you put out some of the finest educational, Entertaining, Family friendly, and important Videos on RUclips! Nice work!
It’s crazy watching these crisp videos that are so enjoyable and professional looking now compared to when you first got going. Thanks for the video guys love you content 8 year viewer here.
A great video to commemorate the anniversary of Dday. More guns and a great history lesson. Thanks Hickok, you sir are a legend!
Lest we forget...💪💪😔
I heard that because these guns have so low capacity they are gonna get big in CA. This will fit with the horses they will need because cars will be taxed like crazy soon in CA.
Good for ya'll
How's it feel time traveling once you pass California state-lines while the rest of the country is progressing.
The California legislature will simply classify them as "assault revolvers", etc. They'll also ban black powder because it causes air pollution and increases the levels of sulphuric salts in the atmosphere, contributing to acid rain and global warming.
Ain’t no 7 day waiting period on a black powder confederate 1851 out here Californy way....they just take 7 days to load
Going down with my horse to that old town road
The legendary smile of Hickok after shoots
Ha Ha ...😂😂
Great vid!! PLEASE do more on era weapons and even military weapons of different countries/ WW1, WW2, Korea, Viet Nam etc. Mixing up the history, stories and the weapons from that time is truly fascinating.
Only person who can make me listen to him about guns that I personally have no use for is Hicokok45. I don't own anything that old nor could I afford it, nor do I really need or want these guns. But I'll be danged if when I start watching Hickok talk about them.......I can't turn it off. To coin a phrase, "fascinating". Thanks Hickok for all you do with educating us about all guns not just the current popular ones.
This set up is just as good today as back then. A fellow is very much protected and able to put food on the table at any time
I love all your videos, But these that show us serious history and open a window into what it would be like to have and use these firearms back in the day are a special treat. Like what you said about shooting one of those in a dimly lit bar and not being able to see. You paint a serious scenario of what it was like. I bet you were a top notch teacher.
Wild Bill Hickok used cap and ball revolvers. I believe Colt 1851 .36 cal Navy.
In fact a lot of people used cap and ball rifles and revolvers.
1860 Henry and the 1866 Winchester both fired .44 rimfire.
I think the 1873 was the first to fire the new 44-40.
It's a lot of work, but my favorite Hickok 45 video.
3 beauties! Thanks for sharing them with us.
Kind of surprised you didn't do guns of D-Day (hint hint) :)
Hands down my favorite youtuber of all time. Btw u would be king of the Apocalypse
Thank you for using blackpowder.
That Winchester is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing a really fun video. I would love to try the single action and the rifle, although that shotgun might be fun too! Thanks again for making my evening just a little more fun!
1873 was also when John Marston was born... Also, I find cleaning my guns soothing. Black powder would be like Nirvana
Appreciate y’all from Texas
Never get tired of watching the cowboy related videos
Thats awesome. Thanks for the video. I loved that pistol. I could see you Hickok45 back then 1886. You would be a great cowboy haha.
Where did you learn that? Hickock45. Nuff said.
Hickok, I would love to see an even earlier instalmment with the firearms they used back in 1789 - like weapons from back in the french revolution with flintlock pistols, muskets, blunderblusses and all that jazz!
Love your channel!
Love the guns and the history lesson. You make learning FUN !!!
Hickok got the big iron on his hip
Hes searching for texas red
As always I really enjoy the history lesson. Great video.
Nice hatchet throw John, and Hickok, how about sharing that beautiful belt knife on the next Shooting the Breeze. Thanks for the videos guys.
THANK YOU, John and Hickok, this is a wonderful video, it’s VERY much appreciated - and enjoyed - and your mentoring of our community is truly beneficial.
I’d offer an opinion, with which others may disagree. Many suggest - and I believe they’re correct - that we live in the “Golden Age of Firearms;” modern autoloaders, MSRs and revolvers are plentiful, outstanding, relatively inexpensive and top-quality designs. Moreover, ammunition technology and optical sights both complement the fundamental excellence of today’s firearms. HOWEVER, for almost all purposes, the three firearms you fired today would (imho) be quite adequate - although not optimal - for today’s requirements. The fact is, a current home invader could be rapidly incapacitated with with that SAA or that double barreled shotgun.
Thanks again.
Thank you sir for all you do and have done for so many years! Huge fan of yours.
Would love to see another Red Dead Redemption video with all the guns in the game. I know you've done it before but there's something about watching you talk about these guns then being able to somewhat experience them in the video game
Take care Hickok stay awesome o7
Just applied for my Permit to Carry/Purchase Permit this last week. Really looking forward to some time on the range to get back into practice shooting again. Gonna take some classes at same range from the instructors there. No time like the present...
Love your vids Hickok! Ever thought of getting your hands on one of those reproduction Lemats?
The old cliche" "A gentleman and a scholar", gets "shot" around... a"round"...I'll stop...much too frequently. Mr. Hickok45 is, indeed, a true gentleman and scholar. He's like your favorite teacher, add a patch of grandpa, a measure of Mr. Rogers, a powder keg of fun and a barrel of good humor.
I was in deadwood not to long ago. Going to the hickock hotel casino all I could think about was smokin some pots.
Life is good one more video with cowboy guns and more history of them. I must admit Hickok 45 Sir out of all your videos I enjoy these the most!! But I have to disagree with you on something. I do believe you have more than 2 percent cowboy in ya!! Thank you and John for all your hard work,and have fun cleaning those guns.
Oh man.. another good old gun video. You always know when the video starts and Hickok is wearing his hat.. it's gonna be a good one, grab a beer and get comfortable.
Loved the smoke rolling out of the double barrel. Started to say it's not fair we can't smell it but realized if we were that close you'd probably want us help scrub out the black powder nasty. Hmm... Guess we could help since admission to the show is so cheap.
Great selection of choices.
I'll take all of them! *:D*
That shotgun is absolutely perfect. What a defensive weapon my goodness! 🤠
This video looks like the corner of my gun safe for my inherited guns.
Lucky!
thank God you’ve uploaded. now I have an excuse to stay up
Just another amazing video from Hickok45. I love guns of the old west and I can't think of a better way to start my day than a cup of strong black cowboy coffee and watching Hickok45 smoking pot.

Recently found your channel and I'm very glad I did. I've been binge watching all the different videos. Keep up the great content!
Only 2% ?
C'mon now... there's a little bit of cowboy in all of us.
@Andrew Smith ok
Lever action is just pure badass, never been more hyped to play with the model 1887 in mw2
My modern equivalent is a Glock 19, AR-15 carbine, and Remington 870
And really the tech isn't that exponentially ahead
That’s the most meaningless comparison I’ve ever seen.
That subtle joke with 1876 was just too hilarious. :D cheers to you sir
Shooting black powder even sounds different from smokeless. Hard to describe, but, in a way, more pleasant with a better more balanced tone and a different timbre especially on the initial main attack. Maybe Big John can relate as a musician?
What a great, refreshing vid! One of your best ever! Thanks sincerely. I have both an 1894 Win. Cowboy w/Lyman peep sight and a new model Vaquero. Two of my favorite guns to shoot. BTW, I've taken deer with both. All one shot kills.
BEST video EVER!!! Thank you!
History lesson and another great video all in one easy to consume package.
I am lucky enough to own my great grandad's black powder 1896 Tolley 500 Express double barrel rifle (2,400 FPS) with which he shot 7 man eating tigers in India when he served in the British Army there as a major. Still in mint condition.
@@matztertaler2777 lmao
What a great video! Loved the history. Hope to see more
Mr. Hickok uses his plastic folder knife to dig the cartridge out. You have the Skinner knife on your belt! 🤔😆 good video! Craig
Great job Brother Hick.
Damn, they had some really good cameras back in 1876. This is some good footage
How in heck Ballistol people missed the boat on sponsorship of Hickok45 is beyond me!!!
Sometimes think i was born in the wrong year. Thank you very much for making and sharing tis vid!
These are the types of weapons I love
When Hickok listens to Old Town Road one to many times.
thank you for everything dad
Hickok having too much fun!
Gosh it seemed like he had so much fun making this video
It would be fun to do a video on "What guns were commonly available in 1919."
"I can't see the Gong" ... hits three times a row...
truly a master of aiming.
internet says:"$100 in 1876 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $2,346.79 in 2018"
That's a beautiful Colt.
Great table full of history, of a sort.
Hitting the gong with black powder, you're a God!
My top 5 guns 1 .jin ming m4a1 gen 8, 2.lei hue kriss vector v2, 3. Ren xiang ak 74, 4. Ldt hk416d,5. Jin ming acr j10
gosh I really do love the sound of spent brass clinking under his feet
Speaking of high. Lets smoke one of these pots! Loved it. Stay awesome. Hickok45.
Great video, I love the history lesson.
Love the History themed content! Cool video idea? Profile the guns used in the show Hell on Wheels. From what I understand the show's creators went through the effort to accurately represent the firearms of the day
Good historical review of guns of 19c.
Came for the guns
Stayed for the history
Truly epic video, gentlemen!
Hey, if you guys are ever on interstate 80 in Sparks, Nevada, there is a TA Travel Center truck stop where if you go into the adjacent casino, there are walls and walls of vintage and collectible firearms.
A revolver just like the one carried by General Robert E. Lee, a collection of John Wayne firearms to your liking? I'm not sure why everybody's obsessed with him. Just an old actor. Firearms belonging to one of the Roosevelts? U.S. Bicentennial celebration rifles more your fancy? Or do you prefer guns from various wars?
I think there's something for any history enthusiast, and certainly for any firearms fan.
Cutlery as well.
Plus, I am told that the entire collection is for sale.
I wonder if civilians could purchase a Springfield Trapdoor rifle or carbine in 1876?
hancock63 the older 1860’s trap door models would have been surpluses on to the market by then, not sure about the 1873 specifically. By the 1880’s the 1873 was certainly on the civilian market.
hickock's coin collection has gotta be worth somethin
Awesome Hickok👍
Firearms and a history lesson ... 👏 greetings from Brazil ...
26:13 haha, that's some beautiful smoke ring!
I anneal the front of my .45 Colt brass before loading. This will literally eliminate the blow back experienced here. The brass cartridge carrier on my rifle remains remarkably clean when shooting BP loads
The 1876 era firearms shooting were great until I heard that flowmaster equipped mustang accelerate away into the distance...
It don’t get cooler than this!! Also nice hat.
With all that smoke, still has such accuracy..
Hickok this would be a cool idea for a series of videos
Yes, this is just the first in a series we'll do.
26:12 that perfect smoke ring
