Hundreds ~ thousand(s) rounds??? I guess if that makes you comfortable, go for it. I usually shoot 2-3 mags of what ammo I'm carrying. Some of this seems a little obsessive-compulsive. Got to have X number without a failure or I start over.
I shoot a lot and have guns that have never malfunctioned ~ but as with anything mechanical, I figure at some point they will. I'll just clear it, check to make sure nothing is broken and carry on.
Really? Calling people obessive - complusive for properly testing their carry weapon does not seem like THR to me. You can do what you feel is proper. If you are comfortable with a few mags that's great but why the need to attack others?
Yes every mechanical device as a chance to malfuction and if you have to use a pistol as a defensive weapon checking to make sure nothing is broken might not be an option.
