Testing for flash is a good idea, as at least half of the defensive scenarios I know of involve low light. Crooks like low light. Testing for flash is hard unless you have an indoor range, or your local range allows night shooting. If you have no way to test it at dark, have someone else shoot while you watch. Even during the day time you can see what you need to see.

You could also fire them inside a refrigerator box, measuring the flask in the darkness.
