I field strip my GP100 and SP101 every time I clean them. It's a lot easier to clean with the cylinder off of the frame. My first Super Single-Six I used to take apart to clean but the one I traded it for has never been apart. Neither have my two Blackhawks. I don't think there is anything to be gained by disassembling them other than removing the cylinder. The Blackhawks will come apart though if the Super Blackhawk hammers I have on backorder with Midway ever show up. I don't own any Smiths or Colts but if I did I would be hesitant to mess with them. The Ruger DAs are a piece of cake though.
