    I love how you can hear the difference between the time the gun goes bang and when the bullet impacts the the target relative to the range of the target. That 44 magnum is a heavy hitter.

    • @MrChriscable
      @MrChriscable 3 роки тому +2

      It’s the delay of the sound bouncing back. Sound travels much slower than the bullet and it takes time for the sound to travel back to the mic on the camera.
      Speed of a “slow” bullet is about 1200mph up to 4000mph.
      Speed of sound is around 770mph in average temp
      If you were down range and Hikok shot you in the head, you would not hear it as the bullet would hit you and you would be dead before the sound of the gun firing reached your ear.
      Cool effect though.

    thnx Sir Hikock for sharing this video, nice gun. I wish I would have never gotten rid of my Ruger .357 magnum just like that short barrel. it was a nice gun, it always shot well & they don't make 'em that quality no more. I bought it about 15 years ago. I miss that gun.

    Thankful to have your videos around to watch. A much needed and nice piece of normalcy in these crazy times. I just bought a 29-10 with a 6 and 1/2 barrel. And I'll go through some magnums just for the fun of the big kaboom, but an afternoon of 44 specials is about as fun as it gets. Stay safe sir.

    Hey, you got a mention on page 8 of April's "American Rifleman"! "Recently, a prominent and respected UA-cam personality had problems with the new Python. He shot the gun extensively, praising it highly for about half an hour, until he had issues with cylinder rotation."

    When I saw the title I was already trying to get to the video. I just bought a 629 two months ago. I had to check to be sure....its a no-dash, p &r, no lock, (made too early for the lock). So far I've only shot lead swc loads. Big pistols are fun to shoot!

    I bought a 629 Talo Special because of Hickok45. It is the same as his, but a different grip and that stupid lock. It is my carry gun and since I got it fixed (twice) because of that stupid lock, it shoots mint.

    I love to shoot the .44 Mag too. Used to have the S&W Mod 29 4" a long time ago but sold it, ugh! But decided I wanted a bear gun while hunting so I a purchased a Taurus M 44 .44 Mag SS 4", Went to an indoor range with some friends and let them feel the power, and then I shot 18 rounds in a row. The next thing I knew one of the guys come up with a band aid and said I will get the septic pencil. I thought what for, then I realized I had torn the webbing between my thumb and index finger. Still love that power!

    That 44 is definetly a candidate for my favorite top 5 gun club personally at this point in time my number 1 Is my 6 inch 686 smith 357 mag num 2 629 classic 44 my number 3 bumped from 1911 to the ruger lcr 22 mag snub nose number 4 1911 mark IV 45 number 5 between my 500 mag and dragoon 44 percussion I believe everybody's fav shuffles every time you try something a friend has and you find yourself hunting every store for the best deal you must have it if I had that short barrel 44 in my paw it would steal the 3 spot without a doubt

    Some years ago, during the 22LR madness I decided to simply my calibers down to 9mm,
    12ga, 556 of course and I also kept my Win94 in 30-30; all else got traded off.
    Sadly, that also meant trading off all my revolvers.
    I miss owning a magnum, whether 44mag or 357mag even, especially in a wheel gun.
    This video and others like it ain't helping. :-)

      @@karstensebastian7598 Following Sandy Hook and other shootings during Obama's tenure, Obama made speeches following each one about taking measures to prevent shootings in the future. So of course, guns flew off the shelves but there was a heightened sense of worry for gun enthusiasts and also preppers so the cheapest ammo to buy was never available because people were clearing out shelves of .22lr immediately when stores got their resupply. Similar to the toilet paper deal currently taking place.
