No, not that kind of stripping.
This is where a character disassembles a weapon, cleans it, and puts it back together. It comes in a number of varieties:
The character is undercover as an Arms Dealer and it's a test to see if they know their firearms by assembling a pistol. They may have to do it blindfolded.
The ability to strip and re-assemble a weapon blindfolded is regarded in Hollywood as a display of massive competence and familiarity. In real life, it just takes a little practice and isn't all that difficult.
They're just cleaning their weapons, a Boring, but Practical necessity for any gun wielder.
The character is an innocent who has been trained to be a killer and this scene is when The Cutie is truly broken.
A gun nut or elite soldier may show off his skills to his peers by timing himself.
Since weapons require regular maintenance, this could be regarded as Truth in Television. An increasingly common action-flick variant is to have a character partially disassemble an enemy's pistol while they're brandishing it. Can overlap with Gun Porn.
Not to be confused with Extended Disarming.

The Bourne Identity. After knocking out two policemen who insist on seeing his papers, Bourne ends up with one of their pistols. Shocked but still acting according to his (unremembered) training, he strips the slide off the pistol before throwing it away.

Likewise in the 2017 Korean movie The Villainess. The first time, she assembles the weapon first but can't pull the trigger as she's an eight-year-old girl. Her mentor shoots the man for her but then says her life now belongs to him. As an adult assassin, she assembles the weapon first and shoots her classmate, who is revealed to be wearing a bulletproof vest.

Haven: a character with Fake Memories has a disassembled gun on the table in front of her. When she sees someone being threatened, she automatically reassembles the gun and shoots without hesitation. This convinces her that there's something wrong with her memories since her current persona shouldn't have those skills.

One of the Devil Due Publishing's G.I. Joe comics showcased how Conrad Hauser (a.k.a. "Duke") was enlisted on the titular black-ops team: by being given a debriefing with his future superior "Hawk" wherein he's told that he's been classified as "killed in action" and to be part of the team. As all of this is being said, Hawk is calmly putting together a handgun right in front of Duke, and it's fully reassembled, loaded, and cocked by the time Hawk is letting sink the "killed in action" part and has gotten to the "are you with us, yes or no?" question.

In The Dresden Files, Harry's friends do this, as does the protagonist himself on occasion. Justified, as their friendship with Harry often means they have to use those guns on a more regular basis than is entirely fair.
At one point, when two Knights of the Cross and two members of the Order of St. Giles are cleaning their weapons, Harry labels them all weapon nuts, directly calling out the gun nuts and then immediately noticing the Knights cleaning their swords.

The American. The protagonist is a contract killer and gunsmith who's given the job of building an automatic rifle that's meant to be carried in a small space. When he hands it to the client for evaluation in disassembled form, he's shown glancing at his watch to time how long it takes her to put it together.

In the Deathlands series, the companions' armorer, J.B. Dix, not only constantly strips and cleans his multitude of weapons, but he does it up to five times in sequence, and can tell at a single moment's notice when a gun is starting to wear and what exactly is wrong. And to top it all off, he knows by name almost every single make, model, and caliber of gun in circulation in Deathlands, as well as length of both gun and barrel, date of manufacture, and all specs by memory. Every other character does this regularly as well. Given the nature of The Deathlands, it's quite literally a matter of life and death at any given time.

Mars Attacks!: The Establishing Character Moment of Billy Bob and the rest of his family includes Billy putting together an M-14 while blindfolded. Although the rest of his family treats him as The Ace because he's currently serving in the military, the scene provides a very big clue about how much of a dim-witted idiot he is: even after some time practicing, he's only gone down three seconds of the two minutes he used to take to fully make the assembling, and this is still greatly celebrated by him and his dad.

Wiseguy. A white supremacist organisation orders a shipment of Uzi submachine guns from undercover fed Vinnie Terranova. They're not happy to receive them stripped down in a huge pile of crates (ostensibly because The Mafia smuggles them that way, but actually because the feds have removed the ejector springs so they won't fire properly). When their leader complains, Vinnie quickly assembles one of them on the spot.

Treadstone. As a Shoot Your Mate Deadly Graduation, two brainwashed CIA agents are given a disassembled pistol with one bullet and told that only one of them can leave the room alive. This involves brutal hand-to-hand combat as they try to stop the other from getting hold of the parts—at one point one man has assembled the gun only to find the other holding the bullet.

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, The Boss uses this as a combat tactic, by disassembling her opponent's gun and throwing away the parts (spoilers, naturally). She later uses the same trick in her boss battle, although you can pick up the parts and put them back together.

Person of Interest.
In a flashback to when he was a government assassin, John Reese is shown doing this in a safehouse while he waits for extraction, likely to calm his nerves.
Harold Finch isn't happy when Reese is cleaning a large Sniper Rifle on his antique desk.
In "Provenance", Reese boasts of being able to fieldstrip a .45 upside down in the dark (while completely failing to do up his bow tie).
In "Booked Solid", Reese removes the slide from Hersh's pistol after stabbing him non-fatally.

In the South Korean gangster movie A Bittersweet Life (2005), Sun-woo goes to buy a handgun from an arms dealer working for a rival crime group. The dealer offers to show Sun-woo how to strip the handgun, demonstrating with his own weapon. While both weapons are partly disassembled, the dealer gets a phone call warning him who Sun-woo is, and both scramble to reassemble their guns so they can shoot the other.

Feng Shui has a Gun Schtick called "Dismantle Gun" that allows gunmen to pull that Jet Li move from Lethal Weapon 4 on another guy's gun, using their Guns skill in place of Martial Arts. The Neat Freak gun schtick, which reduces the time needed to clear a jam, implies someone who does this quite regularly and otherwise knows how to take care of their guns.
