I always shoot a few hundred rounds through the model before I will seriously think about buying it. I will rent or borrow. If I'm comfortable with the gun and can shoot it well I will do ccw specific research on blogs and forums to get an idea of the general consensus on how the gun conceals, what type of holsters people are getting for it, that sort of stuff. Once I buy the gun I will put between 350-500 rounds, during a single session, of mixed type and power. If I don't get any malfunctions I will carry the gun around the house for awhile then, if all goes well, it will be my new carry gun.
