Based on the information in this thread so far, the general consensus seems to be that this is a defect that is unlikely to be very common (Gryff suggested that it's a 1-in-100000 occurrence, and IPSICK suggested that this is an overestimation which may be off by a factor of 10 or 100.)

So, my question is: When I purchase a new Glock (or ANY handgun for that matter), how many rounds should I put through it in order to satisfy myself that my new Glock (or other handgun) is not defective? Is there a minimum number?

In other words, what's the best way to ensure that this type of defect doesn't present itself when your life is on the line?

It seems to me that this question is a valid question, regardless of whether we're talking about Glocks, Sigs, S&W, Ruger, or whatever.
two thousand three hundred and seventy two rounds. the magic #
