I am meticulous. I "field strip" the .45 everytime I shoot and clean it well - then lube it. That's just me. Some I know run a bore swab thru theirs when they shoot and don't "clean" it everytime. Theirs shoot as well with as few problems as my own.
For the time invested... I think it's a good idea to clean a gun every time - but I'm sure many, many don't. :wink:
