My 6 year old loves watching gun review videos on UA-cam. hickok is best channel i have found for him to watch
Profanity is a sign..you DO NOT KNOW what you are professing to teach..👍
You're right, thats also what i like about this channel
Hickok45: "You probably know more about it than I do, right?"

I love it. Ruger has addressed all problems with it.
Really good to hear
Awesome. I'm looking at picking one up. What problems have Ruger addressed?
@@james4878 All of them
What u pay?
@willyberg123that model is about $630
Test firing several different types of ammo with several different types of magazine combinations to see what one worked best in this weapon to determine the possible cause of the malfunction is what separates Hickok45 from other UA-camrs.Others woulda just bashed the weapon without going the extra mile or giving a detailed explanation as to why the malfunction may have occurred.Hickok45 really did a great job with the review of this new 9mm Ruger.
Yeah. I’ve run various glock mags, and everything from 88g hollow points to 124RN powder coated wheel weights and mine seems to feed everything and anything. Ruger is known for customer service. This seems like a fluke, and I’d bet they will take care of it.
But it didn't explain the problems, it was just possibilities. However, if you buy a Glock or FN, they're ready to go with whatever ammo you put in them.
@@jlbrpt This Ruger Carbine is as well.
Me & my buddy both own one & are well over 1k rounds combined & never had any issues with it.

Over 5 years of watching Hickock45 and have still not found a bad video.
8 years now!
Agree 100%
I think a big advantage to having this gun is the same one cowboys found with .45 colt lever-action rifles -- both your pistol and your rifle shoot the same ammo so when you are out on your own and not able to replenish ammo easily you have the ability to carry more ammo and use whatever tool is best for the situation.
Edit: Ok, ok, so apparently I am not up to speed on my history of American west firearms of the late 1800's. But _whatever_ caliber they, or whoever, used - the concept is the same; when your rifle and pistol shoot the same ammo you've just increased your loadout capacity significantly when you might not get replenishment any time soon. For that reason, my revolver and my lever action both shoot .357 Mangum/.38 Special (and I _know_ neither was used by cowboys of the old west). This gun would give me the same flexibility with it and my M9 Beretta (and it looks like it easily breaks down smaller than my lever-action for carry in a backpack.)
Yessirrrr
A huge advantage to the ruger system is that If you carry other p-system handguns (like the p93,94,etc.) the mags are actually interchangeable with the carbine, allowing you to just carry one type of magazine and ammo together.
i never thought about it like that tbh but that makes a whole hell of alot more sense. always wondered why so many lever actions were chambered in revolver cartridges
Fills the 'Short Range - Long Range' gap.
Winchester never had 45 cal was 44-40 cal in Winchesters and colts
Been a long time Ruger pistol fan, but have not gone beyond the 10/22 in rifles. I've avoided the Mini 14 for years due to my small inner city dwellings. I'm
now in the market, having retired to TN, for a plinker in a larger bore and am excited about the new PC Carbine. Thanks for your honest review and enjoyable videos.
Im in jackson tn. Were you living
This legend of a man is so popular, that when you have a notification on his new video and press watch button immediately to be the first to see it, as a result you already get like 3k views and a hundred comments. Damn.
Nothing but love!

Ok, now I KNOW I didn't just witness Hickok45 miss 5 in a row. I realize the world is in a mess, left is right, up is down, but I had no idea it was this bad...
Lol!

These are truly the end times...
Ok, well now I just feel bad. Thanks a lot there Jones ;o)
Does the barrel get too hot?
I love how the resolution and video is so high grade you can see the bullet arc to the gong. Love this channel. Keep up the great work
Agreed
it's really satisfying
Thank you sirs for what you do . Your extra effort , your honesty and making your videos so family friendly with no profanity. Prayers for all of us . 🙏💕
It's amazing that you can actually see the bullet flying through the air when you are shooting that small red disk.
It's not the bullet you see but the air wave it creates due to it's speed. Still, I agree, quite cool 😎
@@yantheyam5622 no, it's definitely the bullet, I know from experience shooting a pc carbine as well as many other firearms with relatively low velocity projectiles such as a glock 19 or an airsoft gun
Because is just a pistol grip rifle so there is not much velocity as ur typical high power huntng rifle that has over 2000 fps velocity
Ever fired an M60?
@@jeffblackmon288 Tracers are fun to watch, especially when you see them ricochet.
I bought one this week and just took mine to the range. I have the Magpul PC backpack version. Brought it to the range with the cheapest Wolf steel case ammo I had. Along with other more expensive ammo. Used Glock Mags. I sent 250 rounds down range of three different brands of ammo. No issues. Liked all of the ammo equally as well. I was able to "James Bond" my target at 40 yards shooting the target dead center in the head without adjustment. The out of the box accuracy was impressive. No malfunctions of any kind. Was having so much fun I sent another 250 rounds down range. No issues and the accuracy was equally as impressive. The RSOs at my club were intrigued. Were friends and they all wanted to shoot it so I let them. One of the RSOs is a woman. After firing the rifle and watching me show them how it breaks down, snaps into back-pack mode and holds the extra Mag in the stock they all decided they have to have one too! Universally loved by everybody that fired it. Thought the price was a great value given the quality of the weapon, made in USA and the Magpul stock and accuracy. Fun factor is off the charts. Out of the box accuracy is amazing.
Just installed a Feyachi Red Dot sight as my first upgrade. Back to the range to Zero the red Dot and send more freedom down range!
After 500 rounds down range my rifle is as reliable as any Semi I have ever owned. Fun factor is off the charts. Practical usability as a compact home defense weapon, survival weapon, bug out weapon and plinker that takes Glock or Ruger posts mags is outstanding.
This rifle does everyrhing I hoped it would exactly the way I hoped it would or better.
I live in an anti 2A state with many restrictions on what we can own.
The Ruger PC (Politically Correct) Carbine is a home run and great value for those of us that live in anti 2A states.
If you are taking about a home defense semi auto and don't own one yet this should be on your radar. If you are in a blue state I suggest you do what I did and run out and get one before they are on the next list of banned firearms in your state.
Bravo Ruger!
About to get one on buds and I’m in IL. Thanks for the reassurance
Ight pic one up this weekend…
I’m mighty interested as a guy in WA!
I've had several different Rugers. I have never been disappointed by any of them.
I just retired from my Sheriff’s Office after 30 years, I carried a Glock 19 for the last 10 years and I believe I’ve found my first post law-enforcement purchase (gotta spend that pension money somewhere, right?). I’ve got about a half dozen G19 mags lying around that I don’t think my Glock will mind sharing. Boy, Ruger and Magpul are gonna LOVE me! Magpul just announced a stock for this carbine like the X-22 Backpacker for the 10/22 Takedown. So those will be my next two - the 10/22 Takedown and the PC Carbine, both with the Magpul stocks. As you might guess, I’m kinda fond of Ruger. My BUG on duty and my off duty carry is the LCP II which I love!
How silly was I in thinking that retirement meant buying fewer guns, lol
In states like NY where obtaining a permit to keep a pistol in your own home is very difficult, one of these would be excellent for home defense.
You need a permit to keep a pistol in your home? Thats crazy!
@@InputHercules Yes, and the county I live in doesn't give them to anybody who isn't friends with a judge or law enforcement official.
@@InputHercules yes New York has some ridiculous gun laws
Collin Hennessy I live in NJ, do you know if I can bring my pistols to NY? I own a cabin there. So it’s my property and my firearm.. Thanks either way. Looking for a hiking gun, Sub 2000 WOULD have been perfect..
@@BangBangBo No, you cannot bring your pistols or a sub 2000 into NY. You will be charged with a felony, and your guns will be destroyed, even if you somehow beat the charges, which you won't. Call 1-855-LAW-GUNS to find out more. If you own property in NY, you may be able to get a NYS pistol permit, which is required to merely possess a pistol in your own home here. The Sub-2000 is out of the question though, it is an assault weapon under NYS law, and you missed the deadline to register or surrender it by about 5 years.
Took mine out to the range yesterday. Right out of the box, put 150 rounds of pretty budget ammunition through it. No stoppages or issues at all. Both SR mags ran fine. One I got with the rifle, one I ordered separately. A nice little carbine. 😁
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Broke mine in over last weekend. Worked flawlessly with super (115gr) and sub 158gr 9mm. No FTF or FTE.
Was planning on using it with Glock mags only. So did not fire with Ruger mag it came with. Used OEM Glock 17 mags.
Thought about a red dot or reflex, but the ghost rings do the job and are not fragile. Might put a laser on fore end rail.
It fits in 10/22 Takedown bag.
Thanks Hickok45 for all your reviews.
Did the same. Put a red dot on it and ended up removing it and sticking to the iron sights. Work great and no batteries :)
Love this rifle. Very accurate and feels great on my hands. Easy to clean and maintain. No misfires nor malfunctions.
any misfires or malfunctions?.... i want one but i think i will not be the first guy through the door and wait and see more reviews.....
any misfires or malfunctions????
700 rounds through my pc carbine , 3 jams so far ( it was with cheap ass ammo , the Winchester rounds never jammed but the no name did 3 times ) . Solid gun , I love it
literally malfuntions 2 minutes into the videos🤣

I love the modularization of it. if this takes off its going to spawn all kinds of trigger systems and barrel systems and magazine systems and it's going to be a real tactical game changer
I’ve watched this video about 4-5 times now. Got my Ruger PC a year ago. Just noticed him saying some people can hit with it better than with a pistol. My wife has a Beretta M9 and was resistant to rifles. She’s been shooting pistols for 2 years. Right out of the box she hit better at 5 and at 15 yards with this weapon. We both still love this weapon.
With the Ruger PC being a rifle and the added length of the barrel no surprise someone would have better accuracy using the rifle!
My wife loves the PC carbine with aluminum fore end. Suppressed and subsonic they are super accurate.
I had to get one for me.
I purchased this gun, and have fired hundreds of rounds through it, with no problems,but using Glock mags. It worked so well, my Freind just purchased it as well. Great show, enjoy watching your reviews.
One nice feature of the PC carbine is that it takes 10/22 upgrades like the BX-25 trigger which will give you a 3 lb pull
TheDrRJP Kidd trigger is about 10x better than the BX25
Pretty sure those triggers are different.
Say whaaaaaaaaa.....??
Been shooting over 60 years and my Ruger pc 9mm carbine shoots everything I put in it as long as it's 9mm with no problems. Have owned and shot many different brands and my opinion is that most of the better guns are made by Ruger . Thanks for the video.
I have this great PC Carbine - I use a variety of Glock type magazines - I have shot maybe 1,000 rounds through it - mostly 115 grain non-plus P Winchester range ammo. I haven't had any issues with that. Literally the only problems occurred when I tried using some cheap reloads that I'd purchased at a gun show - they didn't seem to have enough power to fully run the action. My only gripe is that the carbine is a little heavy to hold standing for an extended period. Because its 9mm you can shoot this carbine at indoor ranges, which is a huge benefit during the cold dark wet winter months!
I bought mine new in '19, and I have fed it almost exclusively 124-grain hardball over four and a half grains of Bullseye. I have only used the Ruger magazines. It never misses a beat. I have had a few malfunctions with bare lead bullets but that is all. I have learned not to use those. Accuracy is excellent especially with a red dot sight.
thanks for the look at the rifle
Ditto !
As heavy, beefy as a hi point carbine? My 45 cal is heavy but shoots awesome. Small feral hogsbeware
Dam. What shooting as usual
Awesome size rifle. Want...... Trade hi point 45 carbine..
Mrgunsngear Channel 10mm version and I'm in.
I agree with one of the other commentators, that this is family friendly is a big plus. Very educational, topical and 'a real nice guy.' Thanks
its a break in issue, i feel they are including stronger type springs in anticipation of loaders feeding it hotter ammo since its a carbine type structure...
but aside from that, who else thought "A bayonet would be nice on that"
Now that you said something it definitely needs a bayonet 😉
The problem lies with the extractor. It's a crappy stamped piece. Mcarbo makes a nice machined extractor with a lifetime warranty
@J V I did pretty much every internal upgrade I could on mine . Springs ,pins, extractor,trigger , compensator and tons more . It absolutely shoots like a AR and I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw how dirty it got. I thought something was wrong when I took I down after the first shoot
Such a sweet experience trying out one of these. Thank you so much hickok for your thorough review and gun safety vids, invaluable for new shooters who are deep into the theoretical knowledge but just getting started on the practical side!
I've got one of the originals from the early 2000s. Bought it 2013 when it was already discontinued for like $900! Now they released it again, but for half that! Worth every penny though. One of the best all-round guns to shoot.
Definately getting one.This is perfect for me here in NewYorkistan
I'm picking mine up on Thursday.
David Mcnerney I’m in The Communist state of NY as well and I am wondering if you would recommend this rifle or the Keltec sub2000 ?
Just picked up mine today during the COVID-19 pandemic & SJW "let's destroy other people's shit, that has nothing to do with George Floyd's death" period in NYS because this was the only weapon available I could get same day..
No one like Cuomo outside NYC. In fact we don't like NYC either...
I’ve put a lot of rounds through mine. No issues. I find it best when reassembling to tighten the adjustment wheel to where the barrel won’t go back in. Then loosen it one notch at a time until the barrel slides back into place. With a tight reassembly I’ve had no jamming issues.
@@matthewemrys1798 Looking into getting one soon, how has it been treating you?
So far, zero issues with my Ruger PC carbine after 1000 rounds with Glock mags, never bothered with the Ruger mags due to availability, price and capacity. Offhand, one 30 round 2" hole at 50 yards. Maybe I got lucky?

I was interested in this rifle when I saw it pop up on my video feed, curious as to how it would stand up. I love your unedited truth telling video's because honestly with as many failures as I saw with this rifle, I will not be buying one until they've had some time to revamp and redesign it to fix those issues.
Thank you for doing what you do best Hickok45!
You may not have to worry , now you cant get one....
Typically don’t get the first ones of anything that comes out.
Michael, he did a follow video and had zero problems. I only use Ruger mags and have has no problems in 2 years. In bed followup video, he concludes the issue was magazines, not the rifle.
I had similar issues with my PC9 after the 400 round mark. Among inspection I found that the extractor and bolt head pins were prematurely beat up and worn out. I replaced them with some Mcarbo tool steel pieces and its been smooth sailing since.
I have a PC Carbine and it shoots like a dream! Sucks you had some malfunctions but I have zero issues!
Might have been the weak ammo 🤣
@@Brandon-to9vp wasnt he using AE? that stuff is not weak

Justin, actually .... lol
You just downright beat everyone to it. Well played.
Yea it can tak glock mags if you change something in the receiver
SOUL GLOW?
It's been my experience with pistol caliber carbines using a blow back design that bolt velocity is critical in conjunction with how healthy the magazine spring is. The bolt needs to have a cycle velocity fast enough and with sufficient force to make it it's full travel to eject the empty case forcefully and return to battery also with enough force to strip and chamber the next fresh cartridge. The magazine spring has to be healthy enough to have that next fresh cartridge ready to go when the bolt makes it's return trip to battery. If the bolt is too slow or the magazine spring is weak, a pistol caliber carbine will not function 100%.
Just use hotter rounds 🤷🏻♂️
After watching this video I purchased one of these. It is so much fun and versatile as I can use my Glock 17 and security 9 magazines. My only complaint? the infernal Ruger bolt release is just as frustrating as the 10/22 magazine release. Otherwise it was amazingly accurate out of the box. I ran a boresnake down the barrel and grabbed some old, mixed brand ammunition. Thanks for your review!
Volquartzen extended bolt catch
I'm a Ruger armorer. Lubrication is the first cause of feed problems, especially with auto loaders. Use oil very sparingly, if at all, and you will have no problems. Rugers are made to function dry, with only a wipe of oil, and will not wear out.
Been shooting Rugers my whole adult life, there is just something special about them. My dad just got one of these Carbines, can't wait to hit the range with him!
A PC Carbine in 10mm would be perfect.
NuclearGrizzly No it wouldn’t. There’s a reason companies don’t make blowback guns in giant calibers.
NuclearGrizzly Yup !
James Breen I have a Dauphin AR in 10mm. It's a blow back and runs like a top. Olympic Arms still makes one. And there's Hi Point.
High point 10mm !! is out
Precisely what I’m waiting for
I bought mine yesterday for 529.00 and it is well worth the price. Can't wait to go to the range and try it out. I also have a Hi Point 955 carbine, and laugh if you must but it is a real fun weapon to shoot and it likes all my reloads except it doesn't like polymer rounds very much.
So much freedom in one mann.

Thank you for correctly referring to this as a PC Carbine rather than a PC9 which is a different firearm and was manufactured 1996 to 2006. The PC Carbine was manufactured beginning 2017. With all of the people who incorrectly call it a PC9, I knew that you would get your info right. Thanks for your awesome videos.
Love these pistol carbines, the utility of a rifle with the economy of a pistol. Just wish Ruger would make one for the .45 ACP.
The amount of malfunctions is a little disappointing. Hopefully this is just early production run bugs and they can sort this out.
Cambone13 I'm wondering if its because he didnt tighten the barrel nut when he assembled it.
I noticed that, and I couldn't remeber if you were supposed to do that so I went to MAC's channel to check his video only to find he's suspended his channel.
Cambone13 I believe 22 plinksters video showed it.
Cambone13 Woops, I think 22 plinkster suspended his channel too. i dont remember if he is on full30.
I want one if they ever come out in 10 mm, 44 mag, or even
.357 mag.
That is the first time I witnessed a Ruger failing to feed repeatedly.
My sr9 did all the time, I sold it just to get rid of it
You should have seen my SR40....could not get 2 rounds through it without a jam until I sent it back to Ruger. Perfect now but they rebuilt most of the slide and parts of the lower.
From the calibers you mentioned, I'm guessing you're more familiar with Ruger's wheelguns ;)
Most any rim-fire Ruger will experience malfunctions with any mag greater than 10 rounds, factory or aftermarket. Center-fire too, in my anecdotal experience: my boss just got a new magazine for her LC380, many feeding failures with the factory unit. Always after the 2nd shot, and usually won't get the last two to feed either on the last trip out. The LC9 (from which the 380's janky mag is adapted) has very similar problems.
Have you seen the ruger 44 carbine
My SR9C has been flawless since day 1, AFTER I removed the magazine disconnect!
Very innovative, the mag compatability is a big selling point. Just a few caliber conversion kits away from being a best seller I'd say....
In 2000 rounds out of my PC9 it functions without issues. I made a post when I had a thousand rd. through it and after the first 500 rounds the thing just shoot everything. I'm using new glock mags. I did install a lot of MCARBO parts that have improved function and made the gun better feeling to shoot.
I love mine with the Glock mags. No complaints so far.
Does it run the 33rd mags reliably as well?
@@marknorwood7521 long as then mag is not resting on anything , shooting from a table a few times I had a miss feed but because a little pressure from the way I was resting it .....I really enjoy it
Ironically, I’ve had no issues with the Glock mags, at any capacity ... a few with the Ruger ones. If you run 15 or more, my suggestion would be to run hotter rounds to be sure it cycles properly. Usually issues like that are more with your ammo than the firearm. Have fun!
Same.
I already have a ton of Glock mags so it made sense to switch to them.
Runs great for me.
I see a couple responses with the glock high capacity in question - I run Elite Tactical 31 mags occasionally - I've had no misfires with those specific mags after a couple hundred and just some 115 blazer rounds. I can say with certainty that most of the glock related misfiring mags are due to the snug fit either A) wearing out or B) bad tolerances from the factory. The ETS mags have a noticeably tighter fit then even my glock branded variants (I think mainly due to the glock mags used in my other stuff frequently and having some wear). The mag adapter may be an issue too if you have mag-non-specific feeding problems. The other day I took two other friends out and we probably sent 300+ rounds through it without any feeding problems. So its interesting seeing all the problems in this video.
I didn't see you tighten the barrel nut. . Could be the cause of the malfunction. .I could be wrong
I have a Ruger PC9 and It loves my 50 round drum mag with 115 grain steel Monarch.
Just hearing “hickock45 here” makes my day
To help shoppers all I can do is state my experience w the Ruger PC. I've owned the gun for 3 years. I've shot hundreds of rounds of either 115 gr or 124 gr range ammo and defense ammo. No P+. I use the two ruger 15 r mags that came with the rifle and SR9 mags of various sizes. I'm not a Glock owner so no glock mags. No malfuntions since purchase. Super easy take down which I consider a huge plus. Very accurate and so fun to shoot. My ONLY slight negative is it's a bit heavy for a gun this size. Still managable but idealy a little more light weight.
They’ve had a long time to make that gun reliable so I was anxious to see your experience at this juncture. Your critique is quite kind considering nothing is worse than the long drive home from the range completely pissed off at your gun malfunctioning. Been there with Ruger more than a few times. Yes they were very good about trying to fix my SR9. Key word in the last sentence is “trying”. The 3rd time they finally replaced it and to avoid a guilty conscience I took it straight to my dealer and traded it for a Glock 19. The PC9 has been the subject of many UA-cam videos in the past that resemble your experience. No thanks.
"We've had a couple of malfunctions..."
From what I've heard, these do have a bit of a break-in period. Judging by how gritty the action sounds when you rack it, maybe it just needs a few rounds through it. Or maybe I'm putting too much stock in what other people say. Who knows?
Try to loosen the torque on your stock bolts. For some reason if I over torque my 10/22 stock bolts, it increases friction on the bolt and causes similar failures.
Mike McD. There is a torque spec for the 10/22 stock bolt, but I haven't been in the game for a while and can't remember what it was.
Canadians ! I highly recommend this gun. Non restricted, 10 +1 capacity, feels great and solid. You will prolly spend a grand on it but I believe it's worth it. You know you need one now more than ever. Dont leave yourself and your family without a defense option when the rebellion starts. I'm hoping the Americans god bless em start it .
Im in canada heading to buy one this weekend for the reasons you stated
Picked it up and shot 500 rounds with out a single jam or missfire 10 of 10 reccomend

@@swifthartless nice man, I have one too and have never had a malfunction. Great gun!
Civilians in Canada are not allowed a gun for self defense.
I purchased one before I watched the video and while waiting I came across this video…I normally watch Hikok45 before I buy…I watched and thought….dammit, what have I done? 😂. Fortunately, I put 100 rounds through it today using 4 different brands of ammo using Glock mags and it was flawless…not one problem thank goodness. I also upgraded the extractor and pins with MCarbo replacements. Very smooth and fun to shoot. I would like to get 1000 rounds through it before making a final judgement but so far so good!
Ruger replaced my PC 9 after the 2nd time it went back and still had FTE and Stovepipes. Bought M-Carbo after market parts. Nicely machined but still had the problems. M-Carbo gunsmith kept suggesting the barrel lock nut must not be tight enough. Absolutely not the case but got me thinking. At the front of receiver where the barrel is inserted are 3 hex nuts. Turns out all 3 were loose. Removed and put some Blue Loctite on and screwed back tightly. Have had 300 rounds through since without a failure.
He’s only man I know who can laugh and still hit what he’s aiming at
I love mine... two years of shooting not one malfunction from the gun.. I did have a squib from a reload that didn't get a powder charge..
I’ve watched multiple videos of yours and I have to say you’re a damn good shot!
Your yt name tho 😆
Hickok you are a heck of a stand up man for that last couple minutes! I’ve known that before the part I’m mentioning also! I have been watching your channel for a couple years now and want to thank you for what you do! You are entertaining and educational and a great person to top it all off not to mention modest! Maybe that’s the recipe for being successful in life? Keep it up Brother!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great demostrastion of the Ruger PCC.
I have been wanting one of these, but the number of malfunctions you had here gives me pause.
Buy something made no later than the 1970s and it'll probably work if it's not wore out. Check out even a mid eighties 10/22 and compare it to a brand new one big difference.
I've watched other videos and there have been no malfunctions. Could just be Hickok's gun. Ruger is pretty good with getting issues fixed I've heard. Always smart to do more research before you buy though.
same here
He didn't tighten the barrel nut!
It's the lube.
love me some Hickok in the morning
I realize your as good as they come, and I love your video's but, from an old Vet, and retired LEO, give those mags a good smack to insure they are seated.
smack as in once full loaded smack the mag primer side of the case into your palm?
@@tank2449 Smack the bottom of the mag hard into the receiver
Ian Mangham that's what she said
@@spankthemonkey3437 Ya can't educate bacon boi, a say ya can't educate bacon.
Ian Mangham naw but you can eat it
Just shot my PC40 for the first time today. What a great firearm, fun to shoot, accurate out of the box and reliable so far. Only negative, and its a minor detail, my first shot the Ruger emblem on the stock fell off. If thats as bad as it gets, slam dunk good deal.
The "big ol' gun" adds some extra kick to the pistol cartridges. Fired through a 16-inch barrel, that 9mm round picks up velocity it doesn't get from a handgun, and hits very similar to a .357.
I swear Hickok you better never die
connerbv when he dies the hippies will take away our God, guns, and propane accessories.
I watch on Full30 and on your channel. I wish Full30 had a better page setup. It's actually hard to find specific videos.
Joined NRA for 5 years for 100 dollars thanks to your discount.
I want to say I never felt inclined to do so until recently and felt I couldn't sit and do nothing as our rights are coming "under fire." I know there is more I could do and probably should do. But life happens as well and find it difficult to carve out the time to send letters to representatives, etc.
If you think my joining the NRA means nothing or you hate them, that's fine. However, I hope my small (yet good intentioned) contribution helps us all enjoy and maintain the rights we have.
I'm trying to help, albeit a small help in many minds. What have you done?
That is so cool how you can actually see the bullet before it hits the target!
I always enjoy your videos ...... For the most part for me being from the city is very educational. Thank you so much for sharing !
I have one and haven't had an issue so far. Been only shooting 115 grain Winchester, Federal, and Tula bulk ammo. I've only run 1 33 round mag through it so far though. I've noticed the 33 rounders seem to have a lot of play and I'm thinking that may be the culprit for malfunctions.
VAPrepper but he had malfunctions with the regular Glock mags and even the Ruger magazines. Which kind of mags are you using?
I commented before watching the full video. Should have waited until the end but I'm just using standard Glock mags. Based on what I'm seeing on the forums it seems to be pretty reliable. My guess is he got a dud. Time will tell though.
Mine runs pretty well also. I was shooting mostly Federal 115g stuff. Bump fires pretty easily too, or so I've heard.
Ruger literature, which nobody apparently reads, DOES say that the extended mags might have issues.
All of the rounds I have fired thru mine have been with the Ruger Mags. Several hundred rounds and no malfunctions.
I......I can see the bullets as they fly through the air! My power level must have increased ten-fold from all that training with King Kai!
Ordering one today. Really enjoyed this video.
Merry Christmas!
A little late.
My apologies.
Bought this carbine about a year ago.
Used ruger magazines because all that I have.
Shot it alot using 124 grain.
115 grain. Various manufacturers.
Had no malfunction at all.
Even when shot alot....
1000 rounds...
No issues.
I keep this carbine in my special backpack.
No worries...
I had a couple of malfunctions during the first shots as well with different magazines. I replaced the extractor and shock buffer with spring from Mcarbo and that solved all my issues.
Mine hasn’t jammed at all. I got mine this year so maybe they fixed the jamming issue
Thats a cool rifle and some serious skill right there.
Hats off to you , sir !
In a landmark decision today (3/29/19), judge Benitez of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California has ruled that the law against magazine capacity in California is unconstitutional, effective immediately, I believe. Subject to 9th Circuit of Appeals down the road, but that is the law as it stands now. Victory! Thanks to the NRA for their work on this. I just picked up this rifle in Ca. this week, and will be upgrading my mags soon!
4/17/19 The lifting of the CA high capacity mag restrictions only lasted one week before a second judge issued a stay of the original law until all the appeal process has been completed. IOW, it will eventually end up in the Federal Supreme Court where its likely to finally be ruled unconstitutional to settle the matter once and for all. It is noted that in that SINGLE WEEK California gun owners purchased several million 30 round magazines locally in gun shops, from neighboring states, and online before the ban was back in place. Don't think CA residents are all anti-gun....there are more chapters of Friends of NRA in California than any other state. The 2nd A is alive and well, even if its 'covertly' in LaLa Land.
From Canada: you Yanks are lucky to have the 2nd. We do not have that constitution protection . Yet firearms were as much as important in the growth and development of our country as yours.
RIP
@@keithagn we need them due to all the poverty, and crime ridden streets we enjoy in the US.
Chris Lucas idk what poverty has to do with needing guns... but crime is at an all time low across the US, there’s some cities with relatively higher amounts of violent crimes but they’re the exception. Don’t buy the mainstream news BS. We’re safer than we’ve ever been, it’s just violent crimes are sensational and there’s more coverage of them because it sells well.
I love when hickok interrupts himself with his own shooting. Like he can't be bothered to finish the one-liner before he lays down lead. Too funny.
Thanks Hickok 45 for yet another good review sir. Perhaps a bit lighter recoil spring would eliminate the problem. I always enjoy you reviews. All the best to you and John. Be safe.
Hey Hickock. I’m back In algebra. Still should be paying attention and I still love these videos.
Eli G focus on your work
Well, Hickok was a school teacher, so at least you're paying attention to a teacher somewhere ;-)
yes I am aware..
I've only put about 500 rounds through mine and I never had a malfunction. I shot Winchester white box and Federal both 115gr.
Sir, when I'm interested in a new weapon, I look to your vids for advice! Sorry I took so long to subscribe!
I bet turkey people love guns but this Turkish American is the next level. Respect
