After a while (I don't shoot a lot...) I'll totally break it down and clean it good.

Please don't call them clips. They are magazines, not clips.

i usually clean every trip to the range. i took my wife to an indoor range to rent a 9mm and she put about 20 rounds through the XD, i won't clean it until i get to the range and put a bunch of rounds through it.

Always clean your weapon. At my job we are required to clean weapons after every range session. If you can not clean them when you are done. Do clean them within 24-48 hours. It will make barrel last longer as it prevents pitting the barrel from the corrosive salts in the powder. A long with copper build up.

Corrosive salts from current prodcution ammo?

You must be referring to or shooting older surplus ammo, with corrosive primers. If you shoot ammo with corrosive primers, waiting a day or two will certainly destroy your bore. I've shot corrosive WWll 8mm in my Mauser, and waited 2 days to clean it. A BIG mistake.
The only powder I know of as being corrosive is black powder.
