Just curious.

After I shoot each time, but sometimes I get lazy and waited a couple of days before I do some cleaning. Hehe.

It depends on the gun. Stainless wheelguns and Glocks get a boresnake at the range and maybe a chamber brush but then they sit till it's convenient.
Blued babies get a super duper spa treatment within minutes of hitting the garage.

Yep that is me too for the exception my garage in now a den I broke in a Kimber a while back and I cleaned twice while at the range after 200 rounds (that is the only one I have done that for).

For pistols a boresnake at the range and thorough soaking when I get home.

Rifles... well I hate cleaning rifles (I'm kind of a perfectionist) so I boresnake them and then break them down and spray with CLP. lately I let them soak a few days or so and then thoroughly clean.

I clean mine every time I shoot.

I rarely clean the Glocks. They get it once a month unless I am shooting a lot of dirty Russian ammo. Or should that be "dirty, Russian ammo"?? I do, however, take them completely apart when I clean them since it is incredibly easy to do. I can clean the G17 and G23 in under 30 minutes, thoroughly.

As for the little MP25, I usually clean it after I shoot it, which is rare.

I haven't cleaned the SKS in about 200 rounds but I most likely will before the next time I go out to shoot. Not that it needs to be cleaned, I just like cleaning it, believe it or not. (I LOVE that gun. It's be the first thing I grab in case anything really bad was gonna happen)

The Mosin Nagant M44, because of the regular use of corrosive ammo usually gets cleaned same day or within a week. That goes for my 8mm Turkish Mauser too. I suppose corrosive ammo can be bad. However, I shot a lot of corrosive out of the Mosin and forgot to clean it for a month and I didn't notice any damage done to the gun. Nonetheless, that was probably a not so smart thing to do.

Sorry for being long winded.

Every time I shootem.
Period....
If I have 3 or 4 I may give a stainless wheel gun a quick wipe down & really clean it tomorrow. But that is rare.
Cleaned 3 last night.
After shooting today (aint vacations fun) I will have at least 4 to clean.
It will happen before I go to bed.

Greetings--

I'll clean my Glocks once a month or so-- usually after 2 IDPA matches go by.

Robin's CZ needs a good cleaning every 250-350 rounds or so, otherwise it will begin to not load well. I guess a good feed ramp brushing would fix that though.

Just got a RRA in .223. I suspect I'll clean this one after each range visit or once I figure out how to break it down (and get it back together !!).

I guess I'm spoiled-- my Glocks just keep on shooting w/o frequent cleaning

My Dad trained me to " . . . never let the sun set on a dirty gun. . . " so I clean them after shooting. Sometimes a rifle's cleaning may stretch over a couple of days, as I let the Hoppe's #9 work on the metal fouling.

Once a year or so I'll empty the safe and go over the "safe queens" just for the fun(?) of it.

I clean mine after every shooting session. I do not always clean them to the point of white glove approval, but enough to get the trash off of the vital stuff and take a look at it.

Typically, after 1500-2000 rounds unless I know I'll be storing it for over a month. I have over 10,000 rounds through my XD9 in a year and only cleaned it maybe 7-8 times. Has it jammed? No. Has it been less accurate? No.

after every shooting session. It gives my esteemed lady friend and I a chance to sit and chat and clean ze armament.
it's good times.

i clean mine every time I shot. Although I did my own experiment with my Taurus and didnt clean it for 2000 rounds or so to see if i could make it fail but it didnt so i had to clean it. it was driving my crazy looking at her all dirty like that...
