You are supposed to clean them?

Doesn't cleaning them spoil the patina?
Just spray 'em down with EZ Off oven cleaner, throw 'em in the microwave on High for 60 seconds. Presto.

Yes I do a complete field strip after every time I go to the range, it only takes a little gun powder and fuzz to lock your gun open or closed............. IMHO

I was trying to find out how long my DW Panther could go without cleaning before it started to jam. You know, trying to prove to myself it was as reliable as a *cough* *cough* Glock under adverse conditions. And I was shooting cast bullets which leave a LOT of soot.
Well, I forgot about the fact that I had not cleaned it in a coon's age, and I took it to the gunsmith to have an extended safety fitted. He gave me a tongue lashing about how dirty it was and said he should have charged me for cleaning it. ![]()

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.
