Wonderful video. Couple of questions though. I live in CO and hike the Rockies, in bear and mountain lion country. In your opinion, for protection purposes only, would you carry a .44 or .454? Secondly and I apologize if you've already done a video on this, but have you or will you review Ruger's Alaskan .44 or .454. Thanks so much.
That is an exceptional & beautiful gun. I love your history behind it. One could clearly feel that you are still in love after all those years. Thank you very much for sharing.
its good to see a guy shooting his guns who really KNOWS his guns. too many of these dumb back-ass rednecks showing off their "toys" on here who couldn't be trusted to pass the 3rd grade. pretty scary to think they handle guns. like alcohol, guns are fun if you treat them responsibly.
i just got a model 19-3 with a six inch barrel and want a shoulder holster like the one you were wearing. do you know where i could get one and for how mutch.
I could listen to older guys tell stories about the old days all day. I've heard my father-in-law tell the same Vietnam stories 20 times and they've never gotten old.
Could you do a review on a saiga semi auto shotgun? I'm looking to get one really soon and need your advice haha! Also is there a S&W model 29 with a 2 1/8" barrel?
@hickok45 Haha, I think he said that cuz he saw that you didn't wear an earplug, on the first few shots. But, if I look carefully I can see that you are wearing them, just not easily visible. : )
This is definitely one of my favorite videos of Hickok45!!
@hickok45, I have a Model 29-2 just like yours mine came with a wooden gunbox. I bought mine at a gunshow and talked the gun dealer down to selling me this gun for $325. I bought mine in the late 90's. I will be making a video of my 44 mag. in the very near future. Take Care!
Black Talon rounds came under fire for a while because of how the expand, correct? I remember reading somewhere that the anti-gun folks were trying to have them ruled illegal.
no its not how they expanded, its how the idiot media/politicians/rappers made this "Teflon" coated bullet shit up. they said that because they were coated in "Teflon" (which it is actually Lubalox) which is basically just to make it feed better, said that it would slip through a ballistic vest. im actually getting pissed while typing this just because of how stupid people were about it.
and the black community thought the name was "racist"
@kingofthe40oz Ahh ok. That all went down when I was young so I don't know a whole lot about it, just that people were freaking over them for a while.
yeah it was a really idiotic ordeal dude, Winchester Ranger T-Series its the same bullet just not coated in Lubalox (which is not even teflon. It might be the same as the SXT? its either of those.
Interesting video. I have a Model 29-2 that I bought used in the 80's. It is my favorite target shooting pistol. I shoot .44 special rounds exclusively to lessen recoil. It is a fun gun to shoot and very accurate. But you're correct when you say the .44 special rounds are expensive.
I saw an episode of Modern Marvels on the S&W .44mag. The president of the company (I think) said he loved it but the "board" I guess didn't because they said no one would buy it. Then "Dirty Harry" premiered and they couldn't keep them in stock, like you said. He also said lots of people bought it but either fired it once or never as they were afraid of it. He also said it was the finest gun the company made.
i cant believe you just shot off six talons like theyre worthless.....i love your videos man you just got another subscriber not that one person matters but hey keep it up awesome work
Very neat! I bought my Ruger Super 7.5 back in 1981. After a bunch of years and needing money due to soon X, I sold it - to my dad. Like you, I shot whatever they would let me shoot it in. Honestly in those days, the muzzel blast would shape up others who were not use to it. I got more than my share of stern stares. But I could knock out 10's with it, and that spoke more than any words I could add. Nice to see an oldie running still. I'll have to borrow it back and run some targets.
When the camera man zoomed in on the photograph of Hickok45 from the 70's and then panned back out so that we could see present-day Hickok45 with the model 29 on the table next to him, I couldn't help but realize how special it is for a man to hold on to something for such a long time and still be able to use it and enjoy it like the day it was new, even after all those years. There are not many things in life that possess that quality. This makes me want to hang on to all of my guns forever.
I've got a Virginia Dragon .44 Mag, were they comparable to the S&W? I just inherited the gun from my grandfather and was wondering if anybody could give me a small insight into it
@MrDJKaram it's actually " I know what your thinking did he fire six shots or only five" to tell you the truth in all this excitement i kinda lost track myself but being this is a .44 Magnum the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off you've got to ask yourself one question " do i feel lucky" well do yah punk"
I LOVE my Model 29-2. In fact, watching this video made me go out to my safe and pull out ole "Betsy Sue!" That's the name for my 4" M29-2. I too have the same wooden box and instruction manual. The gun belonged to my dad. I killed a wild boar with it. Man does that 4" barrel make the gun HURT the base of my thumb!!!! My 6" Colt Anaconda tames the recoil much better. I'd never get rid of my M29 though.
I know this video is over two years old, but I just watched Taxi Driver for the first time in ten years. That 8 3/8" M29 is more like De Niro's Characters .44 Magnum. So is that shoulder holster. Mr Hickok, I know you are nothing like that character, and you purchased your M29 before the movie came out, but I thought I should make it known, and please bring that .44 Magnum out more!
I had a 29 back 20+ years ago. A buddy owned a Beretta 9mm and kept telling me my 6 shooter was outdated for home defense. Told him if I found myself face to face with a burglar in my home, emptied all 6 rounds and he was still there I'd help him load my stuff.
Loved the look of the 29 but couldn't hit the ground with it. Ended up with a Ruger 44 that I found far more accurate in my hands.
@hickok45 i just bought a 29-2 yesterday and a viewer left me a comment on my video saying that i have to be careful because the screws come loose when shooting it. Is this true?
Man oh man, what a beauty. I had fired everything under the sun, except a magnum, of any flavor... But I tell you what. The very first time I dropped the hammer on my friends .44 (8" barreled Taurus). I knew even before it stopped recoiling, that there was no looking back. All the the high capacity, "wonder" whatever's. Could never have my heart. Don't get me wrong. Everything has it's place. But there is nothing that compares to a solid, flat shooting, magnum.
Anybody ever heard of a Model 28-2 in 44 Magnum? As in TWENTY EIGHT dash TWO in FORTY FOUR MAGNUM. I have one that I was told was a German Special Police issued gun. Nickle cylinder. Big fat SW Grips, smooth, no checkering.
@GnomesAmok: No background check. He is a friend of mine. He had 2 model 29 that he got from his dad. He didn't need an extra one so he gave me a deal.
Can't beat a revolver.Point and pull the trigger.Accurate and reliable not to mention whatever you hit's gonna hit the ground and not get up.You can keep your 9mm pistols.
@Welther47 He means it's been loaded with a lot of powder and/or a heavy weight bullet, producing a lot of power as well as recoil. If you have reloading tools, you can customize your rounds and shoot big, badass bullets like hickock shoots.
So unfortunate that we have to purchase our firearms in grey plastic snap boxes instead of this beautiful wooden case you have there for the Smith. There's no quality anymore, so sad.
This was the first Hickock45 video I saw and I really thought, that he was a cop in 70s in SF :-D I was kinda confused when I found out, how it really is... :-D
okay, dont know if im the first person to notice this, but at 15:06 when Hickock puts the pistol down and spins the cylinder, it looks like it stops and then spins the other way.....might just be a glitch or the way the light hits it, but it looks weird!
@TheNessamb how about instead of moving you should change your laws. no force is more powerful than the power of the people. if you cant change laws by words you change them by force.
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
Mr. Hickok, Does the Model 29 have any problems shooting .44 Specials? Either standard- or over-pressured, or even light or heavy grain projectiles? I remember in your other video featuring both the Colt Python and the S&W Model 19, the Colt was having problems shooting .38 specials in double-action mode. I was wondering if perhaps the Model 29 had any similar problems concerning .44 specials. BTW I love your videos, keep 'em coming.
@armenianesh818 it wasnt the 38 cartridge having trouble it was either fault of hard primers or the hammer striking to lightly on the python ...shooting 357s in double action in that gun could have the same problem so any revolver will shoot specials just as reliably as magnums
Black Talons? Carried 'em for a good while. The racebaiters were running out of things to complain about, so they seized on these bullets by saying that they were made for the specific purpose of shooting black people. Instead of laughing such an absurdity off, the company capitulated. The cartridge still exists... but by a different name.
Before Dirty Harry came out in '71, a Model 29 cost $149. Guy I worked with carried a 4" barrelled one. And you are right..... after the movie came out you couldn't find one unless you were willing to take out a second mortgage on the house.
Decades ago I used to know every handgun made; especially S&W back in the N and K model days. I knew the differences between the dashed models by memory, and owned most of the models. Today, I don't even know what Smith and Wesson makes.
mate you are a legend. love these vids! finally a man who knows what hes talking about, no BS, and a straight shooter! you should have your own cable show. in fact, just run for pres :)
@CrystalHunter1989 i would take people like him in the country rather than people that dont appreciate or understand the 2nd amendment any day we need our country full of gun owners rather than anti gunners
@ShadowRSonic they are banned in the uk because of the dunblane massacre you can't get a licence for them the only handgun you can get is a black powder pistol or black powder revolver anything other then that is illegal apart from special cases when it's a very old handgun
One gun that I always wanted& now i cant have due to the handgun ban of 1997.Thanks alot Mr Major for caving into pressure,worrying about appeasing people for votes,instead of standing your ground.

Anybody ever heard of a Model 28-2 in 44 Magnum? As in TWENTY EIGHT dash TWO in FORTY FOUR MAGNUM. I have one that I was told was a German Special Police issued gun. Nickle cylinder. Big fat SW Grips, smooth, no checkering.

@GnomesAmok: No background check. He is a friend of mine. He had 2 model 29 that he got from his dad. He didn't need an extra one so he gave me a deal.

@Noremorse10 Not knocking any caliber.Just saying .44 is a better caliber in my hands than a 9.Some people do great with a 9MM.Personally,I don't.

What do you mean exactly by "a very HOT bullet"?
Welther47 5 months ago
@Welther47 He means it's been loaded with a lot of powder and/or a heavy weight bullet, producing a lot of power as well as recoil. If you have reloading tools, you can customize your rounds and shoot big, badass bullets like hickock shoots.

So unfortunate that we have to purchase our firearms in grey plastic snap boxes instead of this beautiful wooden case you have there for the Smith. There's no quality anymore, so sad.

onebigkahuna69 6 months ago
okay, dont know if im the first person to notice this, but at 15:06 when Hickock puts the pistol down and spins the cylinder, it looks like it stops and then spins the other way.....might just be a glitch or the way the light hits it, but it looks weird!

@TheNessamb how about instead of moving you should change your laws. no force is more powerful than the power of the people. if you cant change laws by words you change them by force.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Mr. Hickok, Does the Model 29 have any problems shooting .44 Specials? Either standard- or over-pressured, or even light or heavy grain projectiles? I remember in your other video featuring both the Colt Python and the S&W Model 19, the Colt was having problems shooting .38 specials in double-action mode. I was wondering if perhaps the Model 29 had any similar problems concerning .44 specials. BTW I love your videos, keep 'em coming.
:-)
armenianesh818 6 months ago
@armenianesh818 it wasnt the 38 cartridge having trouble it was either fault of hard primers or the hammer striking to lightly on the python ...shooting 357s in double action in that gun could have the same problem so any revolver will shoot specials just as reliably as magnums

Black Talons? Carried 'em for a good while. The racebaiters were running out of things to complain about, so they seized on these bullets by saying that they were made for the specific purpose of shooting black people. Instead of laughing such an absurdity off, the company capitulated. The cartridge still exists... but by a different name.

Before Dirty Harry came out in '71, a Model 29 cost $149. Guy I worked with carried a 4" barrelled one. And you are right..... after the movie came out you couldn't find one unless you were willing to take out a second mortgage on the house.

Decades ago I used to know every handgun made; especially S&W back in the N and K model days. I knew the differences between the dashed models by memory, and owned most of the models. Today, I don't even know what Smith and Wesson makes.

@ShadowRSonic they are banned in the uk because of the dunblane massacre you can't get a licence for them the only handgun you can get is a black powder pistol or black powder revolver anything other then that is illegal apart from special cases when it's a very old handgun
