If my pistols get shot, they get cleaned, after all they're self defense tools. Every 6-8 months I completely disassemble them and clean them up.
My only rifle, a Ruger 10/22, I dont obsess as much. Lots of Hoppe's n9, a toothbrush, boresnake, and every 3-6 months I disassemble and clean the trigger group.

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.

I'm the exact opposite of most of you guys. I don't clean my weapons often but I also don't blow thru 1000s of rounds a week. The only thing I make sure is clean and good to go is my SD AR. No carry here in jersey

I used to be more obsessive.... Now not so much. Range guns get shot several times without cleaning. Carry is clean and barely shot. And cleaned when shot.
Two days in a row going to the range? Not even bother to take out the bag. Some wipe with rem oil in the morning and good to go. It helps being reliable Tupperware too... Quote:

I will do this if the gun used for the practice, class, competition, session is also the one being used for SD, which my Glock 19 you've seen me shoot is.

Depends on the firearm. I don't try for 'basic training military clean' any more.
I spend about 30 minutes cleaning the ARs, most of that is soak time for the barrel and BCG. The AKs get some foaming bore cleaner and a few patches through the barrel about twice a year, then wipe down and grease the BCG. 1903s, Garand, M1A, and M1 carbine get a wipe down and lube, use an OTIS pull through for the barrel, detail stripped\cleaned once per year. M2 carbine gets a detail strip after each trip to the range. About 10 - 15 minutes on pistols, .22 pistols get a bit more because they tend to be dirtier.
