Hickok 45

Met Hickok45 at NRA 2015 in Nashville. Super nice fellow that I would characterize as just a regular guy who is not trying to be more than he actually is. Watching his videos reminds me of conversations I have with some of my gun buds. If you are looking for hard core training and detailed specs, Hickok45 isn't it. I'm sure you can find a Keyboard Commando on the ODT.

I don't dislike Hickok , just don't get why he's so popular and why manufacturers would give him something to review and keep. His "review"of Gibbz Arms upper is a perfect example.
 
I know buds will send him whatever he wants to review for the channel and then they auction it off like its become more valuable. ridiculous

now he has his son on there with his own channel reviewing

I believe that his personality is what attracts many subscribers. To me he comes across as very "relateable".
He sounds like a good ol' country boy who enjoys shooting.

Watching how many channels like his that are entertaining but lacking in content, or maybe perspective, for serious defensive firearms devotees has inspired me to start my own channel... hopefully sometime early next year.

One advantage I believe I will have is the experience I gained by teaching full-time for almost 6 years.
Watching/ training somewhere around 1000 students in that time has been very educational.
Training w/such a broad variety of shooters w/ so many diverse backgrounds, skill levels, types of firearms, physical abilities, carry methods, etc. has taught me so much.

Very few Instructors outside Military & L.E. circles make their primary living teaching firearms. Logging literally thousands of hours working primarily w/ civilians doesn't seem very common but is experience that I believe will offer value to others. With the direction our country seems to be heading as evidenced by the untold masses buying guns for the first time there is a need for more content for the average citizen who is either just getting started or has been a "gun person" most of their life but has had no formal training.

As far as "youtubers" whom I have been impressed so far, Sootch, M.A.C. , T. Haley, & of course Miculek all seem to have pretty solid content.
