Hickok45 videos are filmed on my own private shooting range and property by trained professionals for educational and entertainment purposes only, with emphasis on firearms safety and responsible gun ownership. We are NOT in the business of selling firearms or performing modifications on them. Do not attempt to copy at home anything you see in our videos. Firearms can be extremely dangerous if not used safely.
If RUclips ever ads a "Historic" tag to channels like we do with old buildings and tech, this channel absolutely deserves a historical marker.
Grandfather channel. 😊
desculpe eu escrever em meu idioma, mas eu assisto o hickok45 faz quase 10 anos e seria uma lastima não acompanhar as explicações dele sobre as armas que ele usa e testa.
Honestly, with how old the Hickok45 channel is, being here since even before the FPSRussia era, it is a pretty historic channel
Agreed!
Annotations should have been grandfathered in, too.
We need sane, moral gun owners producing great, informative content. This channel is the benchmark.
Editing will be a big job
No argument there.
Exactly
Thank you
I agree with you completely.
RUclips needs to realize that firearms are not going anywhere anytime and channels like Hickok45 are educational and vital.
I sure hope you're right buddy. Before I used the internet as much as I do I thought people that don't believe in gun ownership were basically a myth. I had a guy tell me in the comments the other day guns are inherently evil and nobody should ever own one
Yup! Exactly!
RUclips is a private company. Why should they care about your's, or anyone else's opinion? Should private companies be regulated by the government?
@@biekgiek no and u seem like the type of person who shouldnt vote
@biekgiek no but they shouldn't be able to discriminate against something that's not hatespeech or graphic violence they are a monopoly they've grown so large
"Censorship is like telling a man he can't have a steak because the child at the table next to him can't chew it"
i think youtube continuously spits in the face of free speech and press. Very disheartening we live in such a world.
No such beast as free speech when you're using a private company's website. They can make any rule they want to.
@@Plasmastorm73_n5evv thanks captain obvious. That wasn't helpful
Oh no, they love free speech; when it applies to the trans community
Because they're a bunch of communists.
Thanks for your channel, guys. I have watched and enjoyed for many years. Very sorry to hear that these restrictions on free speech are happening but it's a continuous thing these days. Wholesome American freedom doesn't taste good to some people, and it's particularly nasty to those who run the social engineering media. Good luck going forward as you try to find your fit in the ever changing arena of rules in social media restrictions. Their platforms, their rules unfortunately. I will continue to watch your channels!
RUclips seems to operate as a never ending minefield.
A minefield of their own creation!
@@DarkShark-xj4fdmillions of dumb zombies joining RUclips all the time
Censorship
@@DarkShark-xj4fdeven cancer grows exponentially so what’s your point?
Commies rule
In my 19 years on this platform I have never been so disappointed in RUclips.
19 years.. man we getting old
they just keep hitting a bottom
Fellow Veteran here, thank you for your service good sir ❤
@@IamdaonestHUBand keep on digging.
THIS is what pushes you over the edge?
Not the shady copyright strikes or allowing predators to still upload and make money off the site?
If you tube doesn't want Hickok45, I don't want you tube! God Bless you guys!
@@John-uo1qfthe thing with this is that there’s A LOT of 2A rights people on here and if nearly all of them took their money away because of this crap, they WILL care eventually enough to have make changes! If not, they lose out too! You vote with your dollar, where it hurts them most!
We can always make a new one or go to a different platform and just because it’s an already established one, doesn’t mean we have to stay here and take their crap!
@@Lacroix999 perhaps ... maybe they could also care less. There are plenty of people that are willing to comply and fill the hole they leave. RUclips knows they have a monopoly and exactly how to use it.
I've already become a Rumble member, just in case YT wants to push the issue.
RUclips is global. People think they're bigger than a drop in the ocean. Most of the world doesn't give a F about 2A
@@John-uo1qf It's couldn't care less. Not could care less. The education of gun owners is horrible. You all should have gone to college.
I hope your issues get permanently resolved in your favor in due time!
RUclips, leave our friends alone! We LOVE these guys!!!!
Sounded like Pink Floyd.
"HEY RUclips! LEAVE OUR FRIENDS ALONE!"
Speak for yourself man. Hickok and 90%of large guntubers are paid shills who want free guns
I'd like to think Pink Floyd would agree! You may not know them like I do!
@@robertparker6654only roger waters would do that i guess
Yeah, youtube!
Education about firearms is one of the best ways to cut down on gun violence and youtube is destroying it
Of course they are trying to destroy it - they are idiots.
Only partially. Most people watching gun videos online are just skipping to the "cool" bits wanting to see guns glamourized, which most gun channels do. That aspect encourages more impressionable people to just want to get hold of guns to mess around with, to feel cool and powerful, basically. That is the dangerous part. Proper safety education, courses and tests run by experienced ex-military experts should be absolutely a basic standard for anyone wanting to get any kind of gun licence. Gun owners shouldn't need to go on social media to have to learn how to be safe, basically.
@@AD-kv9kj I think you can be knowledgeable about guns without training from ex-military experts
@@AD-kv9kj ex-military do you know the engagment rules i can tell you flagging your mates is the least of your worries same with police
you need training programs that cater towards beeing safe with guns and have fun ex military is not gonna understand that neither do cops
getting educated in a fun way is allways better then having a guy school you and then you dont remember any of it just remember school and most things you learned but now have forgotten we dont want gun schools to be this way otherwise the problem will get worse not better
@@AD-kv9kj "Most" where is your data for that?
Define "cool".
Utterly unsupportable claims.
We stand with hickok! 🇺🇸
Justice for my boy!! 🇺🇸
Nice how they update the terms of service, then apply them retroactively.
This is one of the most wholesome, honest, American things anywhere on the internet. There will always be guns. Showing guns being handled professionally, safely is an incredible way to keep America gun safe. Thanks H45 and son for the great job you do in teaching the world about guns the right way. RUclips, please take heed. These guys are the real deal.
This is exactly why youtube wants to take stuff like this down. The authoritarian dictators want us to be unarmed so they can force their will on us.
That is the reason RUclips is trying to purge this type of content. Wholesome, honest, American things are what the people in charge of the rules and algorithms are fighting against.
It’s a real shame big tech is like this. I share that exact opinion of this channel. It is easily the most wholesome gun channel on the platform.
WE'RE SUPPORTING YOU ALL THE WAY!

What is needed is to get the multimillion creators together and send YT a message. You guys have more power than you think.
Agreed but conservatives have to actually change their behavior and start watching the other platforms
With all of the creators, 2A add payers etc supporters should be able to show a big money loss. Maybe a petition saying they will all leave. Should be able to get 10-12 million people to sign
@@eriklambert3809as much as I love the 2A and this channel and content pro gun RUclips could lose every single gun RUclipsr and revenue and not lose a wink of profits it’s too big for this to hurt them
There is a RUclips union, and it seemed to be making a difference at first, but apparently it's lost its steam.
When yt saw those premium subs start dropping they changed their tune. 😂
“Navigate” RUclips. I’d love a look at the “map” they’re using now.
Need to make alternatives and have your content backed up. Have you looked up how much money it takes to have all the content youtube has?
They probably use stars. That's RUclips for ya
From India. Been with you for years now. In India, it is extremely difficult to get hold of a gun and license. But seeing you explain the rifles and hand guns has made it easier for not owning one! Fervently hope you don’t shut down the channel! Wishing saner minds will prevail in Google / You Tube.
Sane minds at Google?, you have a better chance of finding teeth on a chicken.
@@davidwamsley5109 sorry, forgot to add 'in' before sane😉
Very nice to hear from a fan and brother in arms from India!

Even with license you only can get shotgun.

The power of community is stronger than ever.
Not that strong.
@@Dirtbag-Hyena Commie party of libtards isn't very strong right now
Not really.
Hickok talks and has the body language that so similar to my grandparents, which makes me enjoy watching him in conversation and in action. He doesn’t put on a show, he has a personal interaction with his viewer. Best of luck to y’all!!! Forever in my heart Hickok45.
My grandpa thinks that youtube's only use is to watch Hickock45! Love these guys.
@@tylerhobbs7653 he’s almost spot on!
My grandparents ain’t that awesome. Been absent most my life. With Hickok you can feel that energy, just of a nice afternoon fishing, or going up to the mountains. Love this dude and I hope he makes it past this new policy.
This is an iconic channel. No nonsense, and informative. It would be a true loss if certain people running this platform allowed their personal biases to interfere with you.
Hickok is like that father you never had, his content is always educational and fun. I can’t imagine a newer generation not having him due to RUclips policies. We need good people like him teaching us and showing us cool guns and the history behind them while he’s still kicking. Much love ❤ let’s hope it gets better.
Some of us had a father
@@Pohonestyhe means a “better father” it’s a saying.
I had a father. He was as perfect as can be. Stop projecting.
Totally agree with you.
@@bojohannesen4352 Geniunely feels like you're the only one projecting anything here lol, tell us more about your excellent relationship with your father, everyone knows people who have good parental relationships randomly bring up how good they were.
This has been a responsible source of history, gun safety knowledge and humor. The moderate tone of this message surely justifies it continuing.
Well it can't happen here. Gun people should have been building up the other good channels years ago, but they took the bait.
Back in 2019 I started acquiring pre Korean war rifles. I never owned guns before but joining my local range and listening to this channel taught me a whole lot.
I'm sure I can speak for the entire audience when I say - We're rooting for you, Hickok and family!

Came here from Louis Rossmann. This is a larger problem and I sincerely hope this channel makes it and can keep on creating what looks like very good content.
RUclips would be crazy to erase a safe and educational channel like yours. Been watching you for ten years or so.
I wish you luck in navigating this with YT. Thank you for all the content you’ve created and shared with us all!
RUclips is crazy. They hate guns and people who own them
That’s why they don’t want it on their platform
Mates, we are 10000% behind you ! If you need to go, we'll follow you. I'll follow you wherever you can be found !
I am from Bulgaria and I have been a subscriber for many years. I have learned so much about the weapons, their history, construction. I remember when I was in US for a summer job as a student, 13 years ago, we went to a shooting range with my manager at the time and he was amazed about my knowledge on terminology and the specific vocabulary. All learned from you. Thank you for the content and the entertainment in all these years!
He’s one of our greatest national treasures.
Don't forget to mention in your discussions with RUclips that while they tell you to not mention firearm related sponsors, they have no issue running firearm related ads during your videos. I appreciate what you guys do - keep up the great work
Hickok is a great teacher and source of knowledge. Life is difficult. RUclips please help these guys and ease up on your terms.
Those who spread sin and curse the name of God seem free to spread their content. Something educational like Hickok45 is restricted. Where's the first amendment. I thought the internet was freedom of choice.
@@robertgedritis5790the first amendment doesn't apply to private companies.
We support you 100% hickock and son

@@TheBucketSkill No, we’re old, that’s the issue. Lol People born when RUclips came to exist are 17-18 now.
KEEP FIGHTING!! This whoile issue is absurd. You guys provide a valuable service for sure....guns are NOT going away!!!
Hickok45 is the Gun Grampa of RUclips. Who not only teaches safety with firearms but has a fun time doing it. You and you're Son are a National Treasure.
We’re so back

hell yeah brother .
thought it was joever for guntube for sure
well thats not entirely true but yeah
HELLO? WE'RE BACK DEPARTMENT? YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.
so back
I used RUclips's "Send Feedback" button to push along complaints, hope things like that help! You folks are the hallmark of responsible gun ownership practices.
RUclips doesn't care. Most employees are the same people you'd find on most colleges today. They are against guns, freedom and hate America.
That’s a great idea.
More people need to see this.
Location of that button?
Remember that complaint is read by some young, Democrat female in the San Francisco office.
Society has taken quite the turn! I'm so thankful people like Hickok45 and his family are around. Just decent upstanding folk setting a good example (and providing entertainment to boot). Keep up the great work sir!
I think that is RUclips’s problem with it
Subscriber here. The way in which you have to carefully parse your words speaks volumes - sad, ominous volumes - as if Big Brother was standing right there next to the camera monitoring every syllable uttered. Absolutely love your content and would search it out regardless of the platform you use.
I love asking YT support for help, you can ask the same question and get a completely different answer every single time. Even with manual reviews, they are either biased, or dont know their own rules. Its amazing.
YT support? I assumed there was none.
@@Bob_Adkins they have a chat option in the studio app, its absolutely worthless. If you ask them a question regarding guidelines, you will get a different answer each time you ask them the same question.
People from all over the world will step in to help. You are legendary. Let’s crowdfund this channel, it must remain
roll it into another platform because they're going to edit their existing content on here to make it compliant.
Whenever I was looking at buying a new gun, I would always look for a Hickok review of the gun before I bought. He never failed me once. Love your content.
Been watching you for more than 10 years. I will always support you no matter what you do and where you go. Thank you so much!
Watching this channel for over a decade. Sure hope the powers that be at RUclips are reading these comments and take note.
They don't care, they are paid off and owned by foreign nationals.
powers that be at youtube either dont speak english, hate you, or both
I’ve been watching Hickok when John Had Long hair and Hickok had yellow painted targets. I’ll never forget the halftime Super Bowl video when he showed off his Springfield 1911 that he won at a tournament.
I'm only about halfway through watching this. But a true virtue of your channel that I haven't yet heard mentioned is your commitment to safety in using firearms properly. That's one of the things I've always liked about your content. You absolutely adhere to safe practices without even thinking of it, it's natural. Lead by example sort of thing. If RUclips cannot see that, they're lacking in the thinking thing and need to watch more of your content, not force you to remove it.
I hope you continue make videos and help keep our second admindment rights. You are true Americans
You are the reason I’m a gun owner and 2A advocate. As someone who thought “we should just get rid of all the guns”, you helped me see the importance of the constitution, how it ties into our history and the 2A, and how much fun guns can be. And you did it in a kind, natural, respectful way like a grandfather, not like a marine barking orders. I hope you make a RUclips biography. Best of luck friends
And it’s for that reason yt and sponsors (outside donors) want this content gone.
@@carsonhunt4642precisely, well said
Good for you! Welcome to the club
Greetings from Australia, I love and support this channel 100%. Historical, informative and Entertaining.
Wholesome and educational is what hickok45 very much is and, because of those facts, I've been following hickok45 for well over a decade, during which I've learnt a lot and been well entertained in the process.
The Biden administration does not want you educated about firearms and RUclips is doing it's part by censorship.
Glad you guys survived that round of defunct policy. Probably what I appreciate the most is the example of safe fire arm handling, and can only assume it has made a big safety difference to viewers and their families. Keep on keeping on.
Thank you for fighting the good fight to keep your terrific content available to your viewers.
From along time viewer in Canada .. Keep up the good fight!!!
Fight - Fight - Fight!!
I have so many memories of watching your old videos with family and friends I don’t have around any more. But when I see them it brings those moments and memories back to life for me. I hope you don’t lose them.

Congrats to you. You sometimes wonder how free we are.
You are not free. You have no idea how powerful google and company are.

This channel has changed my outlook on firearms, and firearms owners. Ive been following this channel for years now, and I LOVE this channel.
I'm sad you guys have to go through this, but we support you!
I just have to make this observation. Both of you demonstrate remarkable composure, self control in the midst of what must be an extremely frustrating situation in which you have done nothing to deserve this. This is an example for others to follow in how to present themselves in an adverse situation. Our society has become so coarse. You set a good example and high standard to live up to.
When you said, "We wish we could tell you more about the specifics, . . . . . " Sir, you should be able to tell us the specifics with no fear. When you feel you cannot do that, that means RUclips is up to something and it is never good. You should be able to be as open and honest and transparent as you want to be. If RUclips is going to "update" policy, etc., they should be totally transparent about it. When an entity like RUclips is not willing to be transparent about what is going on and what their changes mean for all of us, whether someone makes the videos or someone watches the vidoes that others have made, then I know RUclips has something to hide. Censorship is never good.
I started watching this channel about 3 years ago and appreciated everything I learned. I was new to handguns and bought a Glock 43X. I watched your review on it, in addition to several reviews of different models of Glocks, etc., and I have learned so much. Thank you for what you did and what you will continue to do. You have my support. God bless you both.
I think you two give so much information on guns that a lot of people don't know about. Love you guys. God bless you both
You build a Rumble following the same way you did your RUclips following. One video at a time. Good Luck men. Hope it works out.

Over the years this channel has been just something I looked forward to during the holidays. I'm not even that into weapons but every Halloween and Christmas I liked to pop in and see what the channels doing. You were carving a pumpkin with a gun, I think that was the first video I watched of this channel. RUclips without this channel would be weird to me. At this point for me hickok45 and RUclips are part of the same thing.
I have been watching this channel for over a decade. This was the first RUclips channel that I ever subscribed to.
Thx hickok45, watching you I've learned so much about gun safety .
Always loved the indirect sarcastic humor we’re here for the long haul gentleman

You guys are more than a national treasure. You're worldwide role models! Cheers from the Philippines 🇵🇭
I am an Iranian, this channel is the best channel to introduce and test weapons from old models to modern models. All the videos are informative and beautiful. I hope this channel will be marked as a historical channel.
I’m 63 years old my dad was a great dad. He taught me how to shoot and hunt safely. I love to watch your videos just the way they are.

I only began shooting in 2020 and I learned so much from Hickok. When considering new purchases, I look to see what Hickok said about it. Shows me that all of the Bill of Rights are as important as A2.
All your videos hold value to me. That will never change. Thank you!
We grew up watching you, we all support you… thank you guys for telling the world about this and making us read the new terms. It’s some briney murky water to maneuver…. RUclips listened!!!! :) :D
Awesome 👏 thanks for all you do
Ive been hoping they get this sorted out, RUclips isn't RUclips without Hickock. Dude has always been a shining example about how to properly make firearms content on the platform.
I have been watching 50% of my viedos on Rumble this week. It's small until it isn't anymore. Glad you guys feel like you have a path forward.
Keep on keeping on guys! 🙏🏼
Thank you Hickok45! I've learned so much from your channel and I feel such a connection with the two of you. You guys are great!
You folks are great. I've learned a lot with you. Just keep on keepin' on as best you can. Like you said, RUclips is huge, and if you had to show something you can't show on RUclips, then just make a note of it directing the viewer to wherever video platform it is that you can use without getting in trouble. If you have your own website there you could post whatever is legal as far as your hosting provider is concerned and work something out with the sponsors, I think. Whatever you guys do just let us viewers know, we'll watch no problem. Wishing you guys all the best !! 😊
