I left a 1911 "shooter" filthy for 5 years when I stopped shooting in matches. When I cleaned it, you couldn't tell it had been left that way for any length of time, let alone 5 years.

It doesn't hurt them to stay dirty for some time. If it's not a carry gun, I don't get too worked up about cleaning them. Range and training guns can go quite some time dirty, then there's the notion of learning each guns puke point. It's nice to know how long the gun can run without being douched and fussed over.
