I’ll try to actually answer your questions:
1. Most of us have gone through several different makes and models to come to a conclusion. I’ve heard people mention a couple hundred rounds to feel confident about reliability, what's your take on that?
Depends on the gun. My G23 has a long term track record. A few hundred rounds would convince me it didn’t have a manufacture defect. With all the hoopla around the p365, I ran it about 1000 before I felt good.
2. I’m curious how many have gauged performance with a timer shooting at paper to make your final decision VS it just feels right. I do shoot them before purchase.
Not necessarily with a timer. I hadn’t considered that but probably should.
3. Also what kind of performance you expect from yourself before you are comfortable enough to drop it in a holster and head out?
I expect to be familiar enough with the weapon to operate, change mags, etc., without fumbling or thinking.
