I watch Hickok's videos only if he's reviewing something I'm considering buying, I leave the sound off and when it looks like he's covering a point that interests me, I turn the sound on for a few. I like the guy and he's a good shot, but I'd rather listen to hay grow than watch five of his videos back to back.

I'm still packing my P938, but like the looks of both handguns. If anyone is interested, right now you can get the Smith & Wesson M&P SHIELD 9mm for $199 after the $50 rebate from PSA. I ordered one and it looks like it will end up costing $233 including taxes and shipping. That's about as cheap as you can get a new quality handgun these days.

Those have been a fantastic deal for a while now. Somewhat made obsolete by the new, slimline, double stack, compact 9mms.

I agree more is better, but I'm not sure 10 or 11 round magazine makes an 8 round magazine obsolete yet. I'll on occasion still carry my 5 round J frame and don't feel under gunned with it and a couple of stripper clips,

Not even surpassed, just a different approach. The '1.0' Shield is cheap simply because the 2.0 came out.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Cute pistol. Hickok is very verbose. Not really interested in getting this or the Sig.

He can ramble, but the fact is he puts a lot of good stuff in his videos, right down to breaking them down, and comparing them to a bunch of other guns which he knows and knows well. He is not guessing and his opinion is far more valuable than most...
Agree... But I do believe that he should put a self imposed time limit on his videos. Then again, he's probably the best spokesman for shooting in the world today. I got no idea just how large his viewership is. I understood fully, yet still grieved the day he announced that they'd no longer actively promote the NRA. He's a solid brother to most of us. Windy.. Solid...

I watch his videos when I have insomnia. Works like a charm!
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I hope I'm never in a gunfight with the guy, he can shoot. Always liked his videos.
