Simple question...
Sounds like good advice to me. That said, I clean my guns every time I shoot because:If you are shooting lead projectiles then clean it after every session, as the lead tends to strip off and fill the polygonal rifling. This can lead to tumbling bullets or worse still, a case blow out due to a pressure spike.
If you are shooting copper plated projectiles or jacketed ammo, clean it when it starts to malfunction or accuracy decreases. I generally go 1500 rounds between cleaning, but have found less than 50 rounds can lead to inaccuracy when using lead projectiles through my Glock 17.
I don't see the wisdom in purposely abusing a tool that has the potential to maim or kill me if it seriously malfunctions.
If your life depends on its reliable operation, you need to clean it like your life depended on it.
Which means what, in terms of actual cleaning?
Some people ask the most brilliant questions.
