How old is hickok45?

[Harrylee]

Don’t know if I saw this video here or just found it. But it is hickok45 Thompson M1 A1 SBR video. In the beginning he said its similar to the one he carried in ww2 that was 69 years ago and if he was say 20 then that would be 89 years old at least . He doesn’t look that old, don’t get me wrong I'm not picking on him I simply love to watch his stuff and he is amazing but that got me a little confused. So how old is hickok45?

Every now and then, he cracks a sarcastic joke with a totally straight face. I think he's just being goofy w/ that comment. No way he's that old. Maybe 65. Maybe. No way he was in WW2.

[CPO15]

Maybe Korea, if he lied and enlisted at age 11.

Hickok 45 I have faith in. Unlike the rat tail bearded goober who also spouts his opinion in the net. Hickok 45 has no hesitation in banging on aka calling out a weapon that he feels is problematic and he goes into detail why he is less than pleased.


The rat tail bearded dude never met a gun he did not like. I guess if he does not pole puff for the manufacturers he is afraid they won't send him anymore guns. Well it has not hurt Hickok 45 one bit to speak his mind by telling the truth.


Kinda like the inveterate fibbers in the gun press that never met a gun they did not like either.

There are a number of gun reviewers who never met a gun that they didn't like. I believe in road testing a gun before I buy it. I've always found that I'm the best judge of what I like.

His real name is Greg Kinman.
I think he's in his early 60s.

I like his videos.

I heard him say on a video that he actually never had the privilege to serve but admired those who did. He actually retired from teaching school this past May or June in Tennessee.

He was just joking about his new EDC, a Desert Eagle. With a straight face. Later he said he had no holster for it. I think he was joking about WWII.

I like his videos.

Me too. When he wrings out a weapon he really puts it through its paces.

How old is hickok45?

What I like is he's sensible and unpretentious, does not take himself too seriously, and obviously just loves to shoot. He's like other shooters I know in real life. Some other experts on YouTube know a lot, but their demeanor makes me cringe.

[RRP]

He discusses his age in this video.

As usual, he's reserved about his personal life. Don't expect a straight answer.

[warbird1]

I've always figured he was about my age and I'm a young 62.

[Harrylee]

OK did not get he was yanking my leg, the man is a fabulous shooter and good info, just didn’t catch the joke OH is that egg on my face

[knkali]

yeah I find myself watching him too. He explains everything in good detail so there is no question where he stands on things. Dude can shoot too.


Who is the rat tailed pole puffer LZ is referring too?

His real name is Greg Kinman.

+1 Me too, Barth. I just wish that Hickok45 do a little more shooting in his videos. I think that he may be related to Jocko, though I wouldn't wish that on a dog.
