Sigs are all test fired, as are Glocks. I have a Glock 17 around here somewhere. It came with a little manila envelope in the case that contained two empty cartridges from the test firing.

As I mentioned, coming dirty from test firing at the factory is no big deal. A quality combat weapon will run fine dirty. I clean my pistols and rifles, but only every so often. Maybe every thousand rounds for pistols and every 2000-3000 rounds for rifles. A precision rifle...that I might clean more often, but in a combat weapon I'm more concerned about function than I am about precision and a Glock or Sig, or any quality AR15/M4 will run fine for thousands of rounds with only some quality lube and an occasional bore snake. AR's have a tendency to accumulate carbon around the bolt tail, so periodically I'll soak them in some CLP or maybe some kerosene and wipe them off, or maybe scrape them. That, and an occasional chamber brushing and any quality AR with an in-spec chamber works even if absolutely filthy as long as they're lubed.
Man, I clean mine meticulously even when I don't really need to. I know my Glock will run just fine dirty but I clean it after every time I shoot it, even if it's only 100 rounds or so. My guns that don't get shot... I clean them once every 1-3 months.

I really like taking them apart and putting them together again.

I love to shoot at the range and I love to drive the Z. The Z always has to wait in the parking lot while I shoot, and gets jealous. So now I just drive down the road shooting signs, that way we can do it together.

Agreed. Nothing wrong with cleaning a weapon. There's no downside. They can't be over-cleaned.
