I used to fully disassemble every firearm I bought. In fact, that was half the fun of getting a new gun for me - to take it apart and see how it well or poorly it was really made. You can learn quite a bit about what went into making a gun from examining the small parts and seeing how they fit to the slide, frame, receiver (for rifles), etc.

Guns that stand out in my mind that impressed me with their quality were:
1. S&W 659
2. EAA Stock 10mm
3. Beretta Gold Pigeon 12 gauge
4. Steyr GB
6. COP 357
7. Belgian Hi-Power
8. Colt Series 80 Gold Cup

Guns that did not impress me:
1. SKS rifle
2. Post-64 Winchester 94
3. Megastar .45
4. H&R .32 Self Loader
5. STI 2011 Custom
6. Ruger Mark II

I know - it's a weird list, and my reasons are both objective and subjective - too many to expand upon. These days, I'm just too busy to take apart every gun that I buy.
