I shoot/carry mostly revolvers. Even with revolvers I think you should pump a few hundred rounds through it, just to see if the gun functions properly. Even with the tightest quality control a few lemons can slip through. I had to send one of my smith and wesson revolvers back to the manufacturer for a problem that could have rendered the gun inoperable at the most inopportune time. The problem was found within the first few dozen rounds.
