"hickok45" is one of the most respected gun gurus on YouTube. Peruse his channel if you ever have the time. Plenty of info for new shooters and lots of historical and modern firearms demonstrated.

I have about 70+ guns that take clips.

I use the term all the time.

As for magazines, most every gun has one.

For me its a tire vs. wheel or engine vs. motor issue. The misuse rarely causes confusion.

I don’t look for reasons to play “smarter than you” with gun owners, especially new gun owners that that are the most likely to make the mistake. If they own one gun and call the mag a clip, who gives a rat’s rump? I explain the difference in passing and let it go at that, not every gun owner desires to be an expert in the field.

I just discovered him today - very knowledgable and wow can he shoot!

Not trying to hi-jack this thread but does anyone have the Ruger LC9? I have one on hold to purchase tomorrow. Currently have a Ruger 10/22 and want to add a handgun for home defense and concealed carry. I really like the LC9 but also like the LCR 22 revolver because it uses the same amo as our 10/22. LC9 and LCR 22 are two totally different guns and I am having a hard time deciding. Any opinions or experience with these would be appreciated!

Hickok45 should be mandatory viewing for kids in classrooms.
I love the guy!
