I fully clean after every range trip. My range trips are usually on a Friday after work and I don't clean the gun(s) until Saturday night, but they're still cleaned after shooting.

I clean my carry gun after every range trip,and wipe it down and coat it with oil to prevent rusting from sweat in the hot months.As for my range guns i will clean them after 3 or 4 range trips.Sometimes i try to see how long it will go before a weapon starts FTF from crud and some automatics will keep shooting and shooting,so it's kinda comforting to know that a lot of times after 500+ rounds the weapon is still functioning well.Like i said the firearms I trust my life too are cleaned and lubed regularly

If I fire once, I clean my autoloading handguns. I even enjoy it nearly as much as I enjoy making them dirty.

I clean my CCW once a week, minus the bore. The bore gets it when it's been shot, usually every two weeks. Detail strip twice a year.

Range guns get cleaned after they've been shot. Detail strip once a year.

After every time I shoot, without exception, they get field stripped and cleaned. My carry gun gets a wipe down every 2-3 days.

Even if I only fire one shot through it I will clean it. I also clean everyone of my guns every other month even if they have not been fired. A clean gun is a healthy gun.

Wipe it down with an oily rag after each shooting session. Field strip clean about once a month/800-1k rds. Detail stip clean about every 2k. 5" Les Baers. I can't justify more.

Good topic ! Now a question along the same lines.... Do folks have any suggestions for a cleaner that doesn't make the gun smell like a freshly cleaned gun ?? I dislike carrying a gun that makes me stink (any more than I already do). Opinions or suggestions would be appreciated !! Thanks, mike

Mike28. See my reply to your thread. MILITEC-1 is much better than CLP. Check out their website. They will send you a 1 ounce sample bottle that goes a long way if you are active duty military. I bought a 16 oz. bottle early last year and still have a little less than half a bottle left. Have converted alot of fellow shooters at my local match IPSC club over to it.

I have no safe queens. I shoot a couple of times a week and clean 'em every week. Dennis
