I always did until I bought a ruger mark III and nearly ruined it trying to field strip it. I took it back to four seasons, they couldn't field strip it. We sent it back to Ruger, who sent it back to four seasons saying there was nothing wrong with it.
I won't shoot any new purchase without at least a quick look down the bore.
New guns can sometimes be difficult to strip the first time, and the Mk III is particularly notorious for being difficult to strip and reassemble. The first time I stripped mine it took me two hours to get it apart, and I had to put it away in pieces and come back to it the next night before I got it back together.
My friend purchased a new Walther PPK-S, and it was so difficult to strip we had to take it to a gunsmith. He ended up putting it into a vice and beating on it with a mallet for a couple minutes before the slide finally came off.
