Favorite Youtube gun-folk channels

I just started actively searching Youtube for shooters channels a few months ago.

Here a few I like to watch:

Hickok45 was one of the first that I really liked. Entertaining and informative guy. (BTW, if I ever see him in person one day I'm going to cuss him out....he has cost me more gun money on this Glock shooting business than I really need to spend.) :D

Jeff Quinn from Gunblasts. Kind of deadpan delivery, but the guys knows his stuff. Like his logical insights on things.

Fateofdestinee. That young lady cracks me up. She was shooting this rather stout pistol....something that is bone jarring....not only is she hitting on target but she'll say something like "That .454 is a teensy bit snappy." :)

22Plinkster....that boy is a heck of shot with his little .22 pistols.

You guys have some not mentioned here that you like to watch? I'd like to hear about them.
 
Sometimes I check Iraqveteran8888 , he does a nice variety of firearms comparison, education, dangerous testing, myth busting, reloading, miscellaneous gunsmithing. He's got a good attitude without any macho stuff going on. I may not agree 100% with what his video partner's assessment but I do appreciate the information about military rifles which I tend to know less about.

Tnoutdoors9 - a well spoken individual, he's done a lot of ballistic gelatin testing - there's a good chance your carry round has been tested by him so it might be fun to look up. Great attitude, not pushy.

JamesYeager - a shooting school instructor has a variety on techniques, mindset, specific gun comparison questions. Has his own systems in place (has to have an opinion as he teaches a school) but remembers to add that disclaimer that you can do it your own way (being PC is a pain isn't it?). I applaud his weight loss a while ago. All of a sudden he decided to get more fit and it seems like his next video there was a visible difference. Occasional cursing for those who mind.

My favorite for now is still Hickok45. He is the older relative that everyone should have in their family and it's great he gets to do these videos with his son. Great setup, all opinions tempered with humility that doesn't demand his way is correct way. Someday I'd like my own range too. - the videos I enjoy the most are STILL the ones about snubby revolvers. Who knew that snubbies were capable of such great accuracy?
 
Thanks for the vote, KLRANGL. ;)

I also enjoy Hickok45, he's one of my favorite YT personalities.

Nutnfancy is another YT veteran that I've been watching for quite some time.

I'm friends with Fateofdestinee, I'm always glad to see young ladies in our sport and one that's active on YT. She's now writing for a couple of big blogs.
 
I live in the same area as Nutnfancy, so I'm biased toward him. I very much do not approve of his channel. To an outsider, his videos may look just fine. But to some one that knows the shops, knows the shooting locations, and knows state law... many of his videos can be very irritating. He may not be breaking the law outright, but he's so close...


I'll check out Sturmgewehre's and Iraqveteran8888's channels, on occasion. Otherwise, I don't really stick to anything in particular.
 
FPS Russia is entertaining in a sometimes alarming way.

Yes, I've learnt something about the weapons he's demonstrated, but I wouldn't call his vids informative, just entertaining.... and sometimes just plain scary.

Put it this way, I wouldn't want to live within about 10 miles of that guy.

YankeeMarshall posts good videos with very funny written overlays

Sootch00 is very knowledgeable and often gives very informative historical back stories when reviewing a gun

Condor5x5 also give very detailed reviews with lots of interesting side info but doesn't post new videos often



And ditto for hickock45, nutnfancy and sturmgewhere.

This guy really irritated me with his "1911s Suck" video, which included, "This is going to cause a sh*tstorm!" Then, he didn't allow free replies, only posting the, "Wow, you are so brave", and, "You hit the nail on the head, you're so awesome" replies. He threatened a couple of people whose replies were not quite so totally complimentary. Not the level of maturity I'd expect from a firearms instructor.
 
Didn't know the Military Arms Channel guy was on here. Sturmgwhere, Hickock45, Nutnfancy, and as of lately tnoutdoors9 are all on my subscribe list.

Every now and then I catch up on a couple FPS Russia videos. His channel is more showing off than informative so I don't find much reason to subscribe.
