Colt SAA Close Up

[WW2AirSofters]

Sorry I got confused the 44-40 was the frontier and 45lc was saa

[WW2AirSofters]

Its not a true saa if it is .45 they called them versions frontiers

[cornshucker77]

Shooting at Spiders.........expect a call from PETA.

[Hoot117]

@cornshucker77 hey i hate spiders so i would aim for em hahaha

[Ben0dom]

You are hilarious. 2:30 "rampant horse" haha. 2:38 "They are empty. They are massive."

[chazzlehoff]

Equality brought to you by Sam colt. Gotta love it

[Yoshisune1208]

your voice is epic!

[mengels]

Hickok45, I had a question I've been wanting to know the answer to for awhile. I recently bought a Uberti Cattleman 1873 in .357 magnum, and being a modern revolver I was wondering if it would be necessary to load only 5 rounds and carry it on an empty chamber if I were to use it in an outdoors/camping/hunting setting.

[3000Rds]

This gun Is pretty cool I like the old style design :)

[verdantforce88]

sweet pistol

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

Please excuse my ignorance, but why can you only load 5 and not 6? Why can you not just load 6 and leave the hammer on half-cock until you're ready to fire? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please?

[cyclingtj]

@FrozenKoolAidDude The hammer had no safety. If six were loaded, even with the hammer down, a blow to the hammer could fire the round under the hammer.

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

@cyclingtj So the gun can be discharged in half-cock?

[cyclingtj]

@FrozenKoolAidDude Half-cock was used to load/unload. It allows the cylinder to spin, but yeah, it could slip and if the hammer slips with a live round under it...bang.

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

@cyclingtj Thanks for the info. The only revolvers I have are a double-action and a hammerless, so I don't know too much about single-actions.

[narlonygx]

the only bad thing is the way to remove empty cartridges, and replace news...

[MetalWoodInc]

@MrGlock55----They would usually only load 5 rounds in a 6 shooter so that the hammer can rest on an empty chamber to prevent accidental discharges.

[MrGlock55]

why do you only load 5? sorry, if this has already been anwsered. i just dont know much about these old guns

[Jmo6475]

Hey Hickok, have you ever handled or shot the US Firearms model Rodeo or any of their other models? Thanks.

[DemonicWeapons]

Why is Testicular Cancer Self Exam in the suggestions!? Hickok, you have some haters! ;)

[whatevar]

Six bullets... More than enough to kill anything that moves

[AkimboNinjaPWN]

@whatevar Revolver.... ocelot!

[MayorWest8]

@whatevar Ocelot!

[C0RRUPTCUP5]

@whatevar The greatest handgun ever made...

[princenoah21]

Sweet, but I thought they held six rounds?

[CheeseClone]

@princenoah21 They do hold six, but it is generally safer to only load 5 rounds so you have an empty chamber under the hammer.

[princenoah21]

@CheeseClone That makes sense

[CSnakeV]

I love reloading in the heat of the battle.

[MrNachsol]

Why you must only shoot 5 rounds and not 6 ¿?

[afrojake100]

what grain bullet do u use in ur gun?

[FromTheIslandNapkins]

how much dose a colt single action army cost?

[TheBassGuitarist1]

@FromTheIslandNapkins your heart and soul

[Weaponcollecter16]

@FromTheIslandNapkins It depends on the condition of it usually, and if it is a rare model or is engraved. The lowest I've seen was around $850 for a used on, which I couldn't let that oppotunity pass.

[JSscenario]

they removed the colt 1991 and replaced it with the beretta 92 fs

[RedSoxfan107]

Nice video. It would have been awesome if you hit the spider, but it was still a nice video

[cpufightclub]

Is this the greatest hand weapon ever made?

[HCSTalmoon]

This is my favorite video and gun that u have I'm going to get one

[Jkiller2895]

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[998uzi]

[Arilouu]

[TexasRangerification]

[JSscenario]

[998uzi]

[998uzi]

[unidentifiedsaint]

hikok45 is a real life bad ass. It's to bad he isn't my grandfather, honestly an amazing aresanal hikok45's got going, man.

[LuchadoreBob]

[turtle4797]

[thepacman2]

God that gun is a sexy gun.

[reivenlocke]

Beautiful, beautiful gun.

[urdpaz]

addaa

[maderi]

thanks for the video 

[snowsniper8]

hi hickok im thinking about getting one of these. as you may know firearms are way more money up here in canada. its 2300 is it worth it?

[romas1995]

can you quickdraw with a 7 1/2 ?

[Scorpino123]

"God may have created man,but it took Sam Colt to make em equal" You are the fuckin man.

[WG23456]

i have a box of .45 colt cartridges, but no colt =(

[1jilu]

Colt Single Action Army

is Arizonas' new state firearm.

[tdcollector]

why must these guns be so expensive?

[INUIT3333]

Good Video! There`s nothing better than a Single Action COLT.

[Jermanaut]

who doesn't like the looks of an old colt? don't have one sadly, but i do have a ruger single six. I like it alot and like you said the design of these single action guns fit your hand like a glove. good vid

[welderman27]

thanks for the video I think this will be my next gun

[jonasldg]

poor spider

[perkalator104]

Whats the difference between .45 ACP and this .45?

[GunFreak270]

How low are you aiming at that range?

[master5775]

love the old colt. how are the sights on that bad boy?

[finalform13]

nice looking gun .

[buzzclark]

Hi hickok sir. Very beautiful gun. I only have 2 Ruger Single Six .22LR but I love them & shoot both of them.  Happy holidays. Sincerely, JAMES.

[Caboose129]

Im thinking of getting one would you recomend a new one or a classic one

[Tripp426]

Such a gorgeous firearm.

[colemanrpatrick]

It seems like the recoil from revolvers are more rolling than the violent jump you get with automatic.

[ChromeGhost0219]

"god created man, but It took Sam Colt to make them equal"

-Hickok45

[DeepDarkSamurai]

god created man but sam colt made them equel. perfect perfect sentance.

[JoRdAnCaStRo7]

How Much Would This Particular Colt Cost?

[Wizlz]

smith 'n' wesson got nutthin on colt!

[Wizlz]

pimpin

[sexytubes]

awesome video man. do you recommend this guy for a time first revolver? also is this recommended for fanning? just curious.

[hickok45]

@sexytubes , Not necessarily - very expensive, and you would not want to fan it. Maybe a Ruger if you want to practice fanning.

[hallie5309]

"Do not be afraid of any man no matter what his size. Just call on me in time of need and I will equalize"

[Dnigz13]

Big iron, beautiful gun man

[beastmouth]

thats a pretty wheelgun ya got there :)

[jackblacksutube]

god those guns are awesome

[chardtomp]

I have a nice repro made by Cimarron Arms with a black powder frame and a 5 1/2 inch barrel. Anyone who likes to shoot pistols should have at least one SAA.

[barrypanaretou007]

Hi. I am from England where they don't allow pistols of any kind anymore. i used to shoot years ago before the hand gun ban and i miss it. I'm thinking of coming over to the US and go and find a gun club to shoot some pistols ! Is there anywhere in America where I should be heading for ? A state that I could shoot most guns and in particular using the clubs guns ? I would really appreciate someone to give me an answer. Thanks. Barry.

[GlennLane1]

Two of the greatest man made inventions in the world ever... the U.S Colt SAA and the British Spitfire.

[Ronanairwolf]

love the grip. you should have your own TV show.

[fszafounder]

ahh the beautiful things you can do to make a gun yours, i like it!

[butaangas]

Awsome gun there.

[Albrtd3]

That gun sits well in your hands.

[NoGuitarsOrAmps]

where do you buy all your guns?, and how much would this 45. SA or 1911 model would be?

[Schone23666]

I have a penpal friend who has a version of the Single Action Army that has a quick change removable cylinder. He basically pulls the pin out, removes the used cylinder, slides in a new one and pushes the pin in place and it's ready to go. Have you heard of these? And how common are they?

[hickok45]

@Schone23666 , Is he talking about a percussion gun? That's about the only way it would save enough time to make a cylinder change practical. I think I could probably eject the empty brass and reload a cartridge SAA about as fast as I could change out the whole cylinder.

[chardtomp]

@Schone23666 That's probably an 1858 model Remington Army. Very popular in the civil war era.

[sharkzf6]

hickok45, thanks to you, this video, and several others you've made in the past, I now have a new bad habit - purchasing Colt 45s!! I've been shooting guns for over 40 years but I never fired a SAA revolver. After viewing this and other videos I decided to add one to my collection. After purchasing, then firing my first one, I got a fever (like the 1911 fever I caught many years ago). The SAA may be the sweetest shooting pistol in the world and I must now procure many, many more. Thanks!

[Magnageek]

Two questions, my friend, if you don't mind:

1. How close are these newly-manufactured Colts to the original 1880s models? In other words, would an 1880's gunman detect any differences?

2. Is the formula for loading a Colt SAA load one, skip one, load 4?

Thanks for another excellect video! Bur where's the gunleather?

[jasonsg4111]

Beautiful Colt Hickok45.....Beautiful gun with a beautiful history.

[hickok45]

@BackpackerTom ,

Yes, lots of interesting history there; I'd like to see it sometime. Can't believe in my trips to the Northeast over the years, I've not made it a point.

[MrRotoFire]

Awesome!

life is good.

[xXBallistic82Xx]

Life is good

[O8SERVER]

beautiful colt

[twistoffeat]

hello a question that caliber of weapon makes you the best and sorry if I write wrong or my English sucks but I'm Mexican:) I love your videos you're like a hero LOL

[7mjbennett]

Love your stuff my compter mest up sorry

[herpingeeK]

Would you sometimes do a little bit of "fanning" on your colts?

[hickok45]

@herpingeeK ,

Probably not; too expensive to break hammer notches and bolts!!!!

[roadkingjp]

@hickok45 What happened to the phrase "Life is good!!" ? I hope life is still good!!

[gnashings]

what a beauty! One of those things that you could look at all day and always find a new thing you like a about it! Classic defined! Great vid as always!

[HuxxNL]

horny what u say at the beginning

[jordan144569]

these look so cool

[masterstupidity]

it's a beauty!

[StMichaelsCrew]

The craftmanship on that 2nd. Gen. is beautiful. The nice crisp click when you cock it. Man oh man doesn't get any better then that. Nice Colt Hick. thanks for sharing it.

[tonyuaine]

them close up vids are good lots more of them coming i hope

[Patriot36]

You've got some BIG hands brother! Great vid was always.

[AwakeAndDangerous]

The 1860 Army cap and ball points nice too. It's a son-of-a-gun to drive the wedge out of the Pietta models, though. I'm guessing that's what you were disgruntled about in the 1858 cap and ball video?

[miGsKills]

i need one.

[KiwiLovin7]

This is my bros favoritre gun. I know he will be happy with this video.

[smelmore]

thumbs up nice gun

[Riflemanm16a2]

Love the sound of the casings ejecting.

[jtmoney606]

cool i bought me a new baby today a remington 870 got it loaded with 3in slugs right now its a jewel

[mixwell1983]

I know I've asked before Hickok but I have a hard time aiming my Colt SSA .22 as the rear sight is pretty much on the barrel.. I hear some people say you need to focus more on the front sight but do you try to align the tip of the large front sight level with the rear notches or what ? I like the Colt SSA .22 but I am very inaccurate with it.. Any advice is much appreciated !

[mike72693]

great intro, too bad god didn't really create man...

[gunner45acp]

love the 45 case head in the grip never seen that

[XxRayPwnsxX]

i loaded 6 on one of these and shot the ground lol hahaha on accident

[trime1851]

Super Video!!

[gte750h]

nice!!

[jasonsg4111]

Awesome line at the beginning of the video. I'm going to have to remember that one. :)

[Hellsing92X]

0:11

No flinching

Nice

[intersurfing]

I want one of these, Do you have an idea where i can find one of these in California??? Thanks

[LemmeLieHere]

That's something I've never fired. Never knew anyone that had one. Closest thing I ever owned was a Taurus .357 revolver, which I sold about... was it 18 years ago? Good grief.

[jackal9188]

Preferably 5? Why's that?

[rpgricky]

you only load five when you carry it or just for safety because the hammer can hit a primer by accident if you carry it resting on a live round. in reality all the old 6 shooters are really only 5 shooters lol hope that helped.

[jackal9188]

@rpgricky Makes sense... I was thinking it could be safety reasons, but wasn't 100 percent. Thanks :)

[Zanghfei]

Is possible all gun like that could have automatic?

[meloveanna]

how much would one of those set you back?

[Mikeydglock]

Hickok45 you have to do a weekend at the compound as a rafle or something. I know I would pay big bucks just to shoot with you for one day. I know teachers don't make millions becuase my sister is one. You could make some real money. I would love to be the first. Just kidding I know you like your privacy but a man can dream can't he. Keep it up. I think about this channel like my wife thinks about american idol.

[Anarchist86ed]

Ya better hope you killed all the guys you were aiming at, cause by the time you clear those empties and reload... you're long dead.

[bigjohn88TN]

@Anarchist86ed If you have some cover you would be ok.

[thecajunblaze]

Very Nice!

[willwood487]

Beautiful grips man. She's a real looker!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

Beautiful... I love single action revolvers. There's nothing else with that kind of classic beauty, not even a 1911. Well, maybe some flintlock pistols can match the gorgeous looks, but SA revolvers are definitely more than special.

I mean, I like modern pistols, but in my opinion they are just not comparable in aesthetics.

By the way, what barrel length is this? 7.5 inch?

[GunFreak270]

I've heard that before... "God may have created man, but Sam Colt to make 'em equal". Who are you quoting when you said that, Hickok?

[Trigcure]

Very,very. cool.

[CityJay510]

How long does the finish of a blue gun last? I imagine you can refinish em for a pretty penny?

[hickok45]

@CityJay510 , You could, but I prefer not to. On any 1st or 2nd Generation gun, it would likely lessen the  value considerably. Plus, wear on any metal parts of a gun just give it character. :-)

[Hapharzardly]

one hundred and thirty-seven years later and a better match of pistol and cartridge has yet to be created IMO. As close to perfect as it gets.

[fgh976]

Nice Colt

[Mr45Bullitt]

Beautiful! Thanks.

[TheGunfighter45acp]

Nice Colt! The ivory grips thru me for a loop, though. I had you pegged as more of a staghorn guy. What a beautiful reminder for me to never assume...

[hickok45]

@TheGunfighter45acp ,

I like stag, but I've had problems finding one that felt good. These Ajax Grips are contoured exactly almost exactly the same as 3rd Generation stock grips. They feel great, which is the priority for me. As a shooter, looks become secondary to feel. The Talon Grips, for example, don't necessarily make a Glock look better, but it doesn't matter; they feel so good and give such a great grip on the gun.

[nencsm]

The Colt produces more damage if I'm right near .. What will be a good gun for long distance Masomenos say about 200 meters

[MegaMonkeyChunk]

Love the Peacemaker. Nice video.

[Ninety9Soulz]

Greatest pistol

[henrycems]

That is the all American handgun. Thanks for posting.

[OilTheGun]

Sweet

[1glockfan]

Beautiful gun. Gotta love the feel of a single-action revolver.

[jaypowell0185]

Very nice looking set of grips

[gragrn]

I think that .45 Colt SSA is my favorite of all your guns.  Thank you for sharing it with us. Kinda reminds me of the old T.V. show ' McLeod ' with Dennis Weaver.

[taraldsvik]

Did ity get the name Colt Single Action Army because it was adopted by the army, or was is just because it sounded good? :)

[cz97bd]

Thanks for doing another revolver video great as always

[whylie74]

very nice.

[Michael2k5x911]

ever mess with any kind of muzzle loaders?

[hickok45]

@Michael2k5x911 ,

Check out my playlists.

[snowblind9094]

nice video... nice gun... The SAA is also known as the "Peacemaker" no?

[hickok45]

@snowblind9094 ,

Yes, it's known as the "Peacemaker," too. I don't think Colt every really used that term officially, though. It's officially the Colt Single Action Army revolver, I think.

[kymopar]

ill just keep my ruger vaquero..its much stronger!

[hickok45]

@kymopar ,

NO question about that; it's a strong gun; I"ve owned a few of them.

[Fermen80]

Nice!! As always!

Greetings from the Netherlands!

[Burnsy2385]

Nice!

[zpackard]

Thanks Hickok for the insight on such a beautiful revolver.
