Spot checking could miss bad rounds. Removing the barrel and ensuring each bullet intended for self defense will drop in and out of the chamber, before loading the magazine would not take much effort. I have never before felt the need to gauge or "plunk" test factory rounds in the chamber of a semiautomatic pistol with U.S. made ammunition; perhaps it is time to rethink this.
