Yeah, 50% of the time is pretty uncommon. I can't remember the last time it got dark out.
You need to get out more. I see people perform presschecks all the time after performing drills, including during reloads. It's like a "tactical" reload: You do it when time and opportunity presents itself.
If you trust your gun to never fail from first round to last round over thousands or tens of thousands of rounds, you need to shoot more.
It's an admin load and you obviously don't spend much time dealing with real people in the real world where people fail to seat magazines all the damned time, yank their charging handle or rack their slide, and chamber empty air.
People ride slide locks, followers and columns of ammunition get stuck, springs break, magazines fail, ammunition manufacturers dump less powder in some cartridges, and shit just happens.
The two loudest noises in the world are a bang when you expect a click and a click when you expect a bang and a two-second chamber check can prevent you from experiencing either.
