I'm so glad to get this video back up after it was taken down by YouTube. The owner of this pistol, James Dean, has passed on since the making of this video. I'm glad he got to see his firearm in this video prior to his passing. The original recording and posting of this video was back in 2017, so hopefully that clears up the math problem some are having with his age. :-)

Hickok geeking out over guns he’s clearly super interested in and excited about is honestly the best part of these videos.

When you were able to buy this thing in Red Dead Redemption, it allowed you to become an absolute menace lol.

youtube not only taking down videos that are more educational than harmful is already horrible, but them taking a video down that has literal memorial purpose now because of James G Dean being the one giving it to hickok is just sad, genuinely. rip to James and I hope youtube keeps their grubby hands off this damn video now

One of the most iconic pistols in history, and it's amazing to see it still in action. Glad this video was restored—too much firearms history is being erased these days.

Look, nobody's clicking off when you've got a gorgeous relic like that thing. Man what a pleasure to shoot a piece of history like that.
