Some of the discussions of Sig's poor initial quality of firearms delivered to LE in the other threads got me wondering about this subject.
Not that they are alone either, since Beretta, S&W, Glock, have all had periods of shipping specific models of their guns that were not 100% street ready for every unit right off the production line, for one quality or design reason or another. And any standard of care would imply one needs to do some level of testing even with the most reliable out of the box makers/versions.
If your agency has already transitioned to a platform (which I assume to be a higher round count exercise that naturally gets each officer to test their issued gun) and you have spare new guns in the armory ready to be issued to already qualified/transitioned officers, e.g. their issued gun is damaged, broken, lost, off the the lab or evidence locker, etc. etc. How many rounds have been put down range with that ready to issue gun? Or if it is NIB unfired since it left the factory, how many rounds do you require the officer you are issuing it to put down range before they carry it on duty?
Obviously the 2,000 round new gun testing standard that has been bounced around and discussed here is out of the reach of most agencies in terms of ammo, paid time for that officer or range staff, etc. I am just curious as to what different standards are for how many rounds through the pipe before the NIB pistol is declared ready for duty use?
