I've never completely disassembled a firearm to clean it and I've never had a problem. I've owned handguns, rifles, and shotguns of every type possible and I've never had a problem if I gave them a routine cleaning after firing. I will admit that I used a compressed air can to blow the soot out of semi-automatics, but otherwise I've just given my guns a basic disassembly per the owner's manual, cleaned the barrels, cylinders, slides, frames, etc., and given them a light coat of oil. And I've owned many, many guns and shot them a lot. If one of my firearms ever gets so dirty that it won't function properly and I can't clean it well enough, then I'll take it to a gunsmith. But, then again, I have no mechanical or technical skills at all (changing a light bulb is a major challenge for me....).
