I thought this vid was significant because it took four of the most popular of this type and compared them. Hickock is neither the best nor my favorite internet reviewer, but he's a pretty good old boy.
Taurus' offering as well as Springfield's is missing. I agree.

I enjoy his videos. Sure he talks a bit, but also offers insight..... or like this video that there isnt a whole lot of difference.
I don't watch a lot of Hickock vids, but I watch some. I like the old boy but there are better video meisters out there. Paul Harrell does a good technical video but his humor is the same, time after time. Plenty of "unboxing" and other vids out there. Sootch is a good combination of fun and technical...for me anyway. I watch all of those. All enjoyable in different ways, IMO. I agree.

What will you guys do now? I've heard him say five was enough, when he wants to justify carrying a snubby J-Frame S&W revolver in his pocket. He doesn't mean he want's round restrictions. He's referring to what he thinks he will likely be able to get away with if attacked in the streets and he just has a pocket gun.

He has a long history of being a competition shooter in multiple venues. He doesn't much boast about it, which is likely why you're not aware of it.

He trained with the Sheriff's Department when he was a volunteer deputy.

He was badged, armed, uniformed, and responded to calls along with regular deputies. PS Volunteer deputy was the standard sort of deputy sheriff or deputy marshal for a very long time in this nation's history.

I don't watch the guy for tactical advice, but his videos are usually worth checking out if I'm interested in the gun he's shooting. He seems like a pleasant enough guy, and unlike some youtube gun stars he doesn't seem to have let it get to his head.

PS Volunteer deputy was the standard sort of deputy sheriff or deputy marshal for a very long time in this nation's history. once upon a time i was a fully certified reserve deputy, did the same thing someone working full time did. i don't think it's bragging a few of us reserves could consistly outshoot full time deputies that cleaned their handguns once a year. And i have seen a number of qual. shoots for full time guys and had to try hard to keep from snickering.

I like Hickock45’s reviews. Any time I’m looking at buying a new handgun I watch his videos on the gun.
Mrgunsngear does good reviews too.
