I clean every range trip. My DI's and old Gunny would hunt me down if I didn't, I just know it |
This seems like it needs a vote.

My carry guns get cleaned every time they're shot.
My range guns get the soot wiped off the feed ramp when I get home (no field strip; just lock back the slide), and get cleaned when they start to malfunction (usually well beyond 1000 rounds fired). If one starts to get balky during a match; a little lube on the rails will set things right. |
If I send more than a hundred rounds down range, then I'll pull the slide, and clean and lube the rails, interior slide surfaces, and barrel exterior. I'll also wipe down and oil the exterior.
If I only put a few magazines worth of ammo through it, then I'll wipe down the exterior and put it away. The above tasks are done the same day as the range trip. If I know I'll be going back to the range in a few days, I have no problem wiping off the exteriors and putting them away. I may add some oil to the rails, but nothing more. I only clean the bores and detail strip the slides occasionally. I only detail strip the frame for cleaning once a year or so. Carry pistols get cleaned/lubed after every range trip. My primary HD AR also gets cleaned/lubed after every range trip. If it's a rifle that I don't shoot very often, then I'll clean it completely the same day. |
Just a fast one down the tubes, wipe it down with some oil . Keep it close to the recliner.

But I do have a Ruger MkIII with a can on it that I've shot several hundred rounds thru in my back yard and I haven't cleaned it in a lonnnnnng time. But like you to me it is therapeutic to sit down and rub some dirty metal parts clean. :) |
