Every time he thumbs that hammer I want to reach up and slap him in the back of the fugking head.

They put it there for a reason. You should know how to shoot it to best effect both ways, depending on circumstances.

I've related my experience on the PD range of an old Irish FTO Sgt. who would have done just that, had he caught us with on our thumb on that hammer inside 50 yards. But even he understood not everybody was Ed McGivern and that mere mortals tend to make precise shots better in SA mode, than in DA.
There's no denying Hickok shoots well, with a wide variety of firearms. An an old FTO myself, my position is 'Only Hits Count' and how you get there soon and safely is of no consequence to me.
I wouldn't call a gong the size of a Toyota, at 80yds, a precise shot. So I will continue to be an ass hole about this. Dave

The gong is about 24" at a shade over 230 yards. I asked the guy when I started watching his videos.

No, not joking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFd3kF6LHz4 I said the big gong is about 80 yards from where he shoots, meaning from where he ordinarily shoots when he's doing a handgun video. The video you posted is a departure from the norm when it comes to his handgun videos. Not only is he further away, but he's shooting at a different gong.

For some of you no big deal
But I think the old boy is fairly handy with a handgun. Ymmv

I don't mind Hickock45 nearly as much as some of the utube warriors. Hickcock is a retired school teacher and makes no claims of being an expert of any sort or special operator desert warrior, blah blah, ect. His videos are a little simple and dumbed down too much at times but at least he's not erring on the hotshot side of things.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

He even characterizes his law enforcement past in the humblest of terms, on the rare occasions he mentions it.

This gong is the one I'm talking about and it is, according to him, 230 yards. ![[Linked Image]](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x187/SargeMO/Range%20Tour%202%20-%20YouTube%20-%20Google%20Chrome%202182017%2014240%20PM_zpsnwmbeuxi.jpg) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omVvuRFuAZ4Yes, it's plenty big for the distance. Last year I hammered a 30 gallon barrel, narrower and a tad taller, at 210 with a G30 and I had to hurry to miss it. I really don't dislike any of you and I've got better things to do than argue about this. I offer free refunds on opinions at purchase price

Just disagreement over the distance to the big gong he usually shoots at when doing handgun videos.

I took no offense TRH and none was intended from here. And thank you.
I never asked the guy how big the 80 yard gong is. I've got a 14" round plate I generally shoot at one-handed from 50 or occasionally 75, with my 45 New Vaquero. And yes I do miss it once in awhile. Makes me pay more attention to my sights and squeeze on the next shot.

Sarge,
I was referring to the gong at the end of his range he typically shoots in his reviews. That's a 24" gong at 80yds.

Cave That is YUGE for the yardage. Give me something to shoot at with the LCP, I guess. Thanks for clearing that up.
