No, I do not obsessively clean my weapons. If I shoot it, then the bare minimum it'll get is some fresh lube.
If I know I'll be shooting it again soon (and it's not part of the following paragraph), I won't clean it. If it's primarily for range use, like a rimfire pistol or rifle, then I won't clean it. If it's a revolver, then I generally won't clean it immediately.
If it's my primary carry piece or HD weapon (rifle, pistol, or shotty), it'll get completely cleaned. If it's the truck 1911, it'll get completely cleaned. If it's likely I won't be shooting it again for quite a while, like a bolt action hunting rifle, I will clean it thoroughly.
