I clean my carry gun once a week. The other after a hunting trip or range visit.

I clean after every shoot. I usually put a good 200 rounds through my P22, so it needs it anyways.

Takes like 5 minutes with a bore snake.

Anyone use Hoppes Dri-Lube? I picked it up the other day...never used anything like that before, always traditional oil. Thoughts? It seems OK...seems to stain plastic, though.

Yup, within a day of shooting ....but try to get it done right after

Same here. Clean same day as it is shot.

But I dont' agree with it smelling great.

Doesn't smell nearly as good as gunpowder just fired....

Clean after every trip to the range.

Weekly, i love playing with guns and if i cant shoot them i might as well take them apart. Most of my guns get cleaned a couple of times before they get shot.

I usually wipe it down and run a bore snake through every trip to the range... well most times
