Trust it?

[piston10]

So how many flawless rounds down the pipe before you would trust a gun enough to carry it?

1k minimum

Not counting Glocks or a S&W Revolver? About 250.

 

[Jefpainthorse]

Revolvers? Load and go.

Semi auto? 1911 have always been the hardest to break in... 5, 6 boxes or till I start getting 50 in a row without failure to feed or eject

maybe a dozen, but I know what to look and feel for.

He didn't say break in a gun he said trusted it enought to know it would go bang when you pulled the trigger.

 

[F16mickey]

500 with at least 100 being my chosen carry ammo.

 

[Glocktogo]

Generally 200-500, depending on brand and model.

You guys shoot em before you carry them?

I once bought a brand new g19. Loaded first time pulled trigger and click. Took it apart and it had broken firing pin. Had the same thing happen on a used gen 2 g19. And the guy i got it from had been carrying it. So not even glocks aren't perfect

500 mixed ammo, mixed magazines.

I'm not a gunsmith, but the same applies for me. Been shooting way to many years.
