I would like to point out that if you have reservations as to whether it's functional after purchase you probably should not have bought it in the first place.

That's not always the case. I've found partial chamber flags lodged halfway down the barrel on new guns. I once received a Colt from the factory that still had a fired shell casing in the chamber.
As others have mentioned, many guns are sprayed down with oil or grease to prevent corrosion before shipping, but that's not the same thing as lubricating it for functionality. Sometimes, that factory grease will seize up the gun, as I've seen with Rock Island and Taurus.
If you're taking it to the range, ask to borrow a rag and some oil. They should be willing to accommodate.
