I would pick the Browning Hi Power as the very best handgun ever made.

Thr Browining trigger system were designed to go around Colt's patent of the sliding stirrup trigger. Now that Colts patent has expired, if someone would redesign the BHP but using the stirrupt sliding trigger, eliminating the complex linkage to tril thr sewr, it would be a ground breaking improvement to thr BHP.

We should allow staff who are trained to have a safe in the schools with firearms in case they need them, no law is gonna stop someone from going in a school to kill people, whether it be gun knife sword or anything. Restricting peoples rights solves nothing

Having handled both I have discovered that I am more at home with the 1911. It's better suited to my hand size. I have to admit that some of the internal differences favour the Hi Power but the ideal pistol would combine the best points of both.

People kill people

Hickok makes some long videos, but darn it I listen to every minute 🎉

At least water barrel doesn't fire back at you 😂

The Air Force version is called the Springfield Armory M6 Scout. I have one of them and they are fun. They are duel barrel LR22 and .410 Over under. Only downside, they are single shot.

I like the Galco recoil pad.

That might have been the saddest 2 minutes to which I’ve listened this year. Not that I expected differently, but it’s hard to hear the words from someone like this. And it’s not like he was teaching in inner-city schools either.

On my 2nd posting to Germany during the Cold War with Canadian Forces I was issued a High Power. Ours were license manufactured by Inglis Canada. They've been only recently replaced as the standard handgun of the CF.

I’m jealous. I didn’t realize your range was so close to your house.

Hey UA-cam minions, H45, GUNS, and AMERICA ROCK! Drive on Sir...

Was a welder. I had some half-inch AR-500 leftover from a job. So I made a shooting tree. I installed it at the CMP range I belong to. it's at 200 yards . That was 25 years ago, and it still looks like the day I put it in place.

good job

You are STILL A GREAT TEACHER. The teaching you do no is the most important to us all. Your (our) generation lived by not only the law but by good old American common sense and logic that you don’t get from the books, studies, PHDs and DRs. God given rights and privileges are being stripped away by the politicians and supposed know it alls. For me the bottom line is: KEEPING GODS LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS ARE FIRST AND FOREMOST OVER CORRUPT MANMADE LAWS.

Very nice range, Sir. Thank you for sharing this. You are very fortunate to have the room to practice like this. We had a 100 yd range behind our house in northern New York State when I was a kid. 4 miles out of town you could get lost in the woods. We didn't. We lived there. No one would hear us shooting either.

Omg😳 nothing says screw you and die like an uzi set to full auto☠️⚰️☠️⚰️☠️⚰️☠️

Glad you don’t shoot at night because I usually sleep 😴 by the gong 🎉

I hear that from a lot of teachers, they lose the spirit because of ever stricter control from above. OTOH, it's probably better for the bad teachers and their pupils that the teacher doesn't have to reinvent the wheel. Good and vetted school books with a large market share are a good help, instead of Xerox copies from allover.

The old days of embedded journalism.

That's the canadian version, the one with the skeleton buttstock instead of the crappy tube. Better version too, worked fine.

That's pretty cool grandpa

You know you can take apart the 1911 the exact same way as a high power, right? You don't need to take out the plunger and barrel bushing first. You can just take out the takedown lever and take the slide off with the barrel, recoil spring, plunger and bushing all together.

Public schools are being decimated by democrats now fast! It's sad to see.

I weld up the holes and divits in mild steel very little splatter but require maintenance 😊

When I was in high school, late 70s, most teachers, including the principal, were morans! It was the start of stupidity teaching, which now has turned into liberal indoctrination! Shame on all of you brainwashing kids!!! It's a form of child abuse!😮😮😮

The "Public" (that means Government) School system is not about education. It's about indoctrination.

I am such a fan of what you do on your channel. I am a Vietnam-Era vet who taught in public schools in Wisconsin for many years. I can totally relate to what you said about the changes in education. Kids are great; micromanagement not so much. In Wisconsin, things turned horrible when POLITICIANS got involved in the curriculum. They can’t balance a budget, but they created Common Core State Standards that we had to teach. Worst of all was the mandatory assessments, a cookie-cutter approach to assessing kids all the same way. Today, I watch your marvelous videos, shoot my own guns, and pray for our country. Thank you for being YOU! You are appreciated!

Very interesting thanks for sharing it

I love both. My cousin was able to carry a high power in Vietnam.

The ugly british bullet hose.. awesome

I have had both and find the 1911 far better feeling in the hand and easier to shoot, once you have trained, than the High Power. I found the HP to be less accurate in my hand along with more objectionable time on target than the 1911. I had a beautiful consecutive numbered pair of HPs which I ended up selling because I just didn't like them. Bottom line- give me 8 ball busting rounds in a pistol I can shoot as opposed to 13 mediocre rounds in an uncomfortable pistol.

It's hard to tell because he's so tall but that's a four story house.

You experienced the early days of DEI as it was publicly revealed from behind the curtain, which was preceded by "political correctness" as the trial run. The education industry is one of the traditional pillars of society that caved to this early-on and the results will be irreversible for generations, possibly forever. Your remark about the justification of admin positions, advisors, etc. Look no further than Vanderbilt University and payroll covering one admin position (including advisors) for every two students. In 2023 Vanderbilt accepted a $17 million NIH grant (federal government bloat with your taxes) to fund and promote DEI initiatives, money that could have been better spent on actual education. Lots of six-figure salaries within academia for people with mediocre skill sets in positions of power and influence.

This range needs a preservation order on it as it's a national monument it should be a site for generations to visit for years to come

I was Canadian military for twenty years and used the browning highpower as a side arm . Good gun , but 1911 is a better weapon more stopping power

We can't address today's problems by looking backwards... And it wasn't the "good ol' days" for a lot of people. That's only a reflection on an individual's upbringing. We had different problems back then, we have different problems now, we'll have different problems in the future. Looking backwards and saying let's toss money at mental health care wont change anything, it's a red herring. We need better access to all healthcare, including mental health, but it's only a small piece of the puzzle. The world is changing fast, there isn't going backwards. One thing is for sure, responsible firearm owners have to understand you can't enforce logic on the owners of the hundreds of millions of firearms out there. Statistically with all these firearms in a country the size of the USA, what is going on now is the only expected outcome.

The Browning Hi-Power is the first 9mm I ever fired as a kid. My Dad still has it and its just an absolute masterpiece of a weapon. John Browning was an amazing man

heres a question for ya hikok......my dad(who taught me to shoot) always referenced everything in yards, like you did. how come my cousin refers to everything in meters? is it a personal thing or what? they are both veterans so i know its not a military thing but they do have different shooting philosophy. dad was a spray n pray Vietnam vet and my cousin was a Iraq op freedom vet. just curious

Not better, just different.

When the mines are all played out, future ore prospectors can find a rich lode in Tennessee.

The problem is rooted in our government, controlled by the rich and corporations. Their population control strategy is to keep all of us divided and each other's throats so they can rob us of our Constitutional freedoms and liberties. They have been weaponizing the the news media over decades to establish this strategy. They have been playing the good cop bad cop with us with political parties that serve one master, the wealthy. Wake up America you are being scammed by your own government.

Thanks for posting up this old video! You are a LUCKY and blessed man!

Y’all see him exhale that smoke after he sniffed the empty chamber

A good tour of your compound, distances and targets. A Loong way to the furthest ones. Didn't know how close or where your house is wow ! Nice fall scenes there with those Sacrificial punkin's Haa. Thanks

Old footage, but an interesting visit to your range. Consider this an invitation to come to my range next time you are in Michigan, so you can shoot my new 16" "gong" at 85 yards (non-magnum handgun only). Might be a little more challenging than your 24" gong at 80 yards.

Your range is like Disney World to a gunslinger.

Looking good boss
