Project 1 Gun: Mission Complete

[@swkohnle08]

I really agree with you. As I followed your One Gun project, I had selected a G19 Gen 5 back in April 2018 and put 4200 rounds and shot the snot out of it. Not nearly as many rounds as you. Trained and practiced exclusively with it. I bought a second G19 Gen 5 as my primary carry gun. Will continue to shoot and train with my first G19. My results are a G19 that has had absolutely no failures (I use only factory ammo since I don’t hand load) and my shot accuracy at 10-20 yards has significantly improved. I try to do 20 minutes each morning of dry fire drills and drawing from concealment with this gun as well. Basically, this first G19 is my primary range and training gun. This project has simplified my shooting hobby. I have sold off a bunch of guns and kept two G19’s, a G17 Gen 5 and a couple S&W Revolvers. Rather then buying more guns right now, spend money on ammunition and training only. I do want to try competition with the G17 in 2019. Thanks for your insightful gun reviews as I think your channel has become one of my favorites.

I do the same, only with two MP9 2.0 compacts.

I watch alot of KZbin firearm content, and you sir have some of the best there is. Love your channel!

[@jhelmsing]

Thank you sir!

[@justinlusk1280]

I know that I'm late to the project 1 series, but I wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your content. I like how you are straight to the point, ya know don't sugar coat anything lol. Keep up the good work!

[@ert-7112]

Excellent series.Thanks for sharing. Blessings for you and your family.

[@cbridgmon]

Love the thought behind this series, cant wait to see an update on your x-carry! you put alot more lead down range than i have time to so i cant wait to see it!

[@colbucky]

Great review, I’ve been carrying mine since last year and sometimes switch and carry my 320c off-duty.

[@bigbossoooo]

Glad to see u got though with your 1 gun project. 11,500 rounds! Wow congratulations to u sir your fans appreciate it.

[@homercannon36]

Awesome series! Keep up the good work

[@LOMROB]

Great to hear it’s been running good for you. I just picked up G19 Gen 5 MOS and I’m liking it with a Vortex Venom mounted on it.

[@kb9liq]

Was a great series and fun to follow. Been shooting Glocks since I got my first one back in the early 90's. Was going to try something like this back about 6-7 years ago. Was going to get a Glock 17 and only shoot it for some time. Plans got changed when I got hurt at work and had to go thru all the he-- that brings. Was fun to follow your journey.

[@johndohm4925]

Thx for all the great videos!!! Learned a lot from your videos!! I carry a gen 4 19, I agree with ya totally... thx for your service!!!!

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

I am a big fan of the gen 5s. Especially the new FS models

[@RKHarm24]

Me too. Liked them so well I bought my very FIRST Glock. Always a Sig metal frame guy, M&P's and 1911's. I am Social Security age to boot.

[@eldogg4life]

Enjoyed the series. Thx for your selfless public service. Never forget your oath.

[@Thumpr110]

Thank you for the updates. I love the idea of this series as a principle. But as a viewer, I look forward to seeing you tell me what to think about different guns again 😉

[@andrewb8914]

Great series and also good info. Im a big fan of my G30. My project one gun.

[@s7lresearchdr.311]

Your content is awesome!!! I like your approach to the work, you remind me of Paul Harrell in terms how you do things. Salute Sir!!

[@RKHarm24]

Okay, you answered my question in your IG post on this finale. The 3 failures from reloaded ammo. Thanks for this series.

[@711408]

Kick ass series man, I enjoyed the whole thing! Looking forward to more content from you in 2019 and hoping you don't change your formula. 100% meat and potatoes without any additives.

[@TheShane209]

this has been a awesome series really enjoyed it

[@THATMOFODIRT]

In the middle of doing something similar myself. Focusing on a single weapon platform freed me to collect more magazines and spare parts.

[@tshanks1771]

Really enjoyed this Series!

[@ampark09]

This was an awesome series. You should do it with another gun of comparable size and see how it performs. Imo the 509 midsize or p10c would be ideal contenders.

[@chazmoful]

Enjoy the videos man, I agree that a range gun and carry gun should be different. Gonna pick up a Glock eventually, NOW LETS SEE SOME SIG TESTING!😎

[@kyleryerson7999]

Loved following this series man. Thanks for the content. Did you change any parts at all the entire time?

[@jhelmsing]

Zero parts changes except for the sights. It came with plastic sights that lasted one range session.

[@davegass1650]

I totally agree with you on how to many guns philosophy . I used to bring too many to the range . It was screwing up my shooting and then had to go and clean them now a bring a range type gun to really shoot and then put a few magazine's through my carry . Mostly range gun M&P M2.0 , carry Shield 2.0 . Both 9mm . Good video 👍.

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Yes sir....I too, am guilty of taking more firearms than needed to the range. I too carry The M&P40 full size 2.0 & the 1.0 M&P40c .... & have the Shield45 deep carry on occasion. 👍

[@davegass1650]

@@guardianminifarm8005 The M&P'S are awesome . Mine have been flawless for a year . Thanks for your comment .

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Very good series. Outstanding info & content. We sure appreciate your approach. We learned quite a bit. Lots of food for thought. Did you decide to continue carrying this Glock or rotate it out. I missed that if it was in the series. If it is not the primary carry, what will be. Thank you again.

[@george3053]

Can you do the same experiment with your P320 compact? It would be a great comparison to the g19

[@vcutrader7079]

Awesome series! So with this done, if you could only chose one to carry would it be the P320 or this G19 Gen5?

[@MDpolo]

Thank you for taking us down this interesting journey. I really enjoyed it. Will the G19 continue to be your carry weapon? Cheers!

[@jhelmsing]

I've gone to a Beretta M9A1 compact for the time being, but it will definitely stay in close rotation.

[@abelperez2931]

Good job man and thank you for the time put in and the input.With that being said,which generation Glocks do you think are the most reliable?

[@jhelmsing]

@@abelperez2931 gen5 without hesitation

[@derrickescamila887]

Are you going to do a review between the 19 gen 5 and the sig x carry. And which you prefer?

[@FierceMouse]

Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I feel guilty if I go to the range and not use my carry gun. I have about 12000 rounds in my Gen4. I have replaced all the springs at the 10,000 mark and I thought I was improving the trigger with all the use.

[@jollyrogerusa9438]

Great job on this project, J! I wonder how long until you actually want to pick up a Glock again ;-)

[@gylfearisen8420]

I have a gen 3 g19 and i should know a lot more than i do, but my 19 is very well taken care of and i havent put more than 1k rounds through it despite having it for 18 years. I really dont know the difference between the gens other than barrel, grip, and mag changes. My question is should my gen 3 be this durable and last like this? I plan to start getting to the range regularly and just picked up a 19x and am getting a 43x soon

[@jhelmsing]

Absolutely. In my testing just about all Glocks, especially 9mm will take some heavy mileage!

[@vcutrader7079]

How much does it typically cost you to reload 9mm per round? Any updates on the project 1 Gun round count? Hope you are doing good - huge fan of the channel

[@humbertogutierrez9300]

Do you have have 2 gen 5 19's? I noticed the first Glock didn't have the beveled frame to match the slide and this one does.

[@jhelmsing]

I bought two when I started this project and ended up only using the one I put the rounds through. Never needed the back-up.

[@humbertogutierrez9300]

J Helmsing Glock very durable as advertised, I've seen a couple of posts complaining about the finish wearing prematurely on the barrel compared to gen 4, even when the first 100 rounds.ive also heard about the finish flaking off the slide.

[@radiofreejacksoncounty9317]

Why do you choose a handgun over a rifle or shotgun for home defense?

[@jhelmsing]

I don't 😉

[@Spartisman]

How about a 2 gun project? I carry a glock 26 and a 19.
